Cause And Effect Of 12 Angry Men Essay On Juror 8

For Juror 8 to stand up for what he believes in was pretty incredible. All the Jurors wanted to have this case end by having a 12 out of 12 vote, but that did not happen. First, Juror 8 thought that an 18 year old boy that stabbed his father was innocent. At first juror 8 had no reason why he was not guilty, but as time went by he started to realize why he was not guilty. But I believe that he was guilty and he also had a troubled lifestyle.

Second, the woman across the street saw the the killing after the two passing cars. The woman across the street had bad eyesight and was not wearing her glasses. Juror 8 assumes that the train is rolling past the window a full ten seconds and then after the body hitting the floor it's the same as the car.
