Twelve Angry Men Review

The defendant in a trial...

• is the guilty party
• is the person defending the guilty party
• is innocent only 50% of the time
• is the person charged with committing a crime.

The old man testified that he had run and opened his door within a period of 15 seconds

• and juror three proves that the old man's timing is accurate

• and all of the jurors questioned his testimony

• but juror eight proves that the old man could not have done so

• and he showed in the courtroom how he did so

According to Juror Nine, the old man testified as he did probably because he

• wanted to feel important at least once in his life

• wanted to get even with the boy, who had once mistreated him

• was paid to accuse the boy of murder

• wanted to see justice done

There are two sides with every case.  One is presented by the prosecution, who...

• serves as a lawyer and defends the accused
• are the lawyers who bring charges against the person accused.
• might be innocent or guilty
• who is always innocent
