There was a single person that wasn't convinced that the person committed murder
Do you really think? Do you think maybe they weren't totally convinced?
I think it had to do with them wanting to quickly get thru the case. They saw some of the evidence and went with it. The room was hot and had been a long day
That seems like a major miscarriage of justice. Do you think that maybe happens often in real life?
Yes I am sure. It was more the of being prejudice and the 8th juror convincing them to look at the facts only
That seems tragic. We need more jurors like Juror #8. Facts are facts.
Have you seen the movie or read the book? They both take place in the 1950s
I watched the movie a while, while ago. Probably around 8 years ago. I always thought about reading the book
The book was written by Reginald Rose. I don't read a lot of book because I don't have the time but this makes you think twice and makes us look at our own preconceived notions about races
Oh for sure! I feel like we as a society don't read enough books now a days. Books like 12 Angry Men really spark the train of thought.
