Hung jury

Racism stands for more than one thing. In this case Harper Lee expresses that the theme in “ To Kill A MocKingbird” is you should never judge or mistreat someone because of their skin color.

In some cases shooting someone 17 times and is unarmed is called overkill. So, therefore, racism is still a big thing in the U.S. today Tom Robinson,…

Juror’s Statement Adnan Syed has been put on trial for the murder of Hae Min Lee. Not only has he been charged with life in a high security prison, but also has maintained his innocence for his whole trial and sentencing. Even though Jay’s testimony had been changed slightly over time, the story itself is consistent. Adnan killed Hae by strangulation and Jay helped Adnan bury her body in Leakin Park.

In his play Twelve Angry Men, Reginald Rose brings us back in time to 1957, to a jury room of a New York Court of Law where one man, Juror #8, confronts the rest of the jury to look at a homicide case without prejudice, and ultimately convinces Juror #2, a very soft-spoken man who at first had little say in the deliberation.

Like many other well-known plays when time is added to the equation the stakes are always raised which helps to further entertain and immerse…

choice first, however the Foreman opted to wait for other jurors to voice their choices due to him transitioning from a head thinker to a heart thinker. As the jury is still hung on the determination of a unanimous decision for the trial, the continued deliberation has caused a siding effect. One of the effects of siding that is show in the jury room is the adoption of the win/loss thinking, which has caused destructive conflict. Siding also added additional imbalance perceptions, which…
