I yearn for the consciousness of that world, but I don't yearn for living in that society.

When I saw a smart person playing some mediocre people in his hands, and let those mediocre people make some discoveries and thoughts that seemed very constructive, I became jealous of that smart person. If I were among the two preparatory jury in the opening film, I am already an Angry Man at the moment. I will stand on the opposite side of Davis involuntarily, and make the evidence of my insistence become more convincing.
When everything came to the verdict of guilt or not, a group of verdicts encountered a lot of doubts, but stayed in a closed room without investigating. With more indirect inferences, they denied those who were really not solid. evidence.
After excluding these things that should be done in the court trial, but magically not done in the film, we were surprised to find that a new question lay before us. If all the evidence is 100% direct, why do we need 12 jury members to decide in the house? Let’s follow the NG’s statement: when the suspect is sentenced to NG, no one can assert that he will not continue to endanger the safety of other people in the society.
The admissibility of the jury's judgment has maintained fairness for a while, but it cannot guarantee long-term justice.

12 Angry Men quotes

  • Juror #8: It's always difficult to keep personal prejudice out of a thing like this. And wherever you run into it, prejudice always obscures the truth. I don't really know what the truth is. I don't suppose anybody will ever really know. Nine of us now seem to feel that the defendant is innocent, but we're just gambling on probabilities - we may be wrong. We may be trying to let a guilty man go free, I don't know. Nobody really can. But we have a reasonable doubt, and that's something that's very valuable in our system. No jury can declare a man guilty unless it's sure.
