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 #3: [when Juror #11 questions whether the boy would return home to retrieve the knife] Look, you voted guilty. What side are ya on?

    Juror #11: I don't believe I have to be loyal to one side or the other. I'm simply asking questions.

  • Juror #8: I just want to talk.

    Juror #7: Well, what's there to talk about? Eleven men in here think he's guilty. No one had to think about it twice except you.

    Juror #10: I want to to ask you something: do you believe his story?

    Juror #8: I don't know whether I believe it or not - maybe I don't.

    Juror #7: So how come you vote not guilty?

    Juror #8: Well, there were eleven votes for guilty. It's not easy to raise my hand and send a boy off to die without talking about it first.

    Juror #7: Well now, who says it's easy?

    Juror #8: No one.

    Juror #7: What, just because I voted fast? I honestly think the guy's guilty. Couldn't change my mind if you talked for a hundred years.

    Juror #8: I'm not trying to change your mind. It's just that... we're talking about somebody's life here. We can't decide it in five minutes. Supposing we're wrong?

    Juror #7: Supposing we're wrong! Supposing this whole building should fall down on my head. You can suppose anything!

    Juror #8: That's right.
