Reasonable doubt

In a tight-paced drama, 12 jurors engaged in heated discussions to decide whether an 18-year-old committed first-degree murder and killed his father.
From the first 11:1, only one juror found not guilty, to slowly 6:6, to the last 1:11, 0:12, the plot was ups and downs, and the pace was good.
Under the influence of the noise of the train tracks, can the uncle downstairs really hear "I'll kill yo"? Even if you hear it, isn't this sentence a statement of emotion?
The female eyewitness who saw the boy's murder had glasses marks on her nose. In the case of vision problems, is what she saw really true? The
boy was dozens of inches shorter than his father, and he could really stab his father down die? Is the use of the switchblade really the same as imagined?
Can a boy really remember the details of the movie he watched that night under pressure?

With so much doubt, so much uncertainty, no one can be sure that the boy is guilty, but according to the principle of presumption of innocence, he should be found innocent. In the end, whether the boy killed his father or not is not the point, but the wonderful debating skills that took place in the jury room and the test of humanity. Maybe you want to get out of here, but you can't make fun of one's life.

It's very exciting. Tomorrow is the moot court competition. I wonder if our jury will also imitate the Twelve Angry Men?

    The ten most exciting movies I've seen this year! Law-God on earth, the jury represents God's authority to examine, convict, forgive, and discriminate against others. Sometimes hearing is fictitious, seeing is not believing, using wisdom to distinguish the truth from false, using observation details to restore the truth, using justice to determine right from wrong, and a humble, benevolent, cautious and fearful heart

    This is a remarkable thing of democracy that we are notified by mail to come down to this place to decide on a guilt or innocence of a man we have never heard of before. We have nothing to gain or lose by our verdict. This is one of the reasons why we are strong.

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.
