The old man could not have heard the boy yell or the body fall with the train going by.

The fight between the boy and his father must have been very loud.

The old woman was lying about the time of the train going by.

The old man probably got the timing wrong.

Read the following interaction between Jurors Three and Eight. Why does each of the men react the way he does? (p. 31)

Juror Eight is irritated because Juror Three is not taking the deliberation seriously, and Juror Three is angry because Juror Eight has hurt his pride by telling him what to do.

Juror Eight is angry because Juror Three will not change his vote, and Juror Three is upset because Juror Eight won't allow the others to take a break.

Juror Three is tired because he has been working too hard, and Juror Eight is worried that they will not resolve the case.

Read the following exchange. What does Juror Nine mean? (p. 34)

He understands why the old man might have made up his testimony because at times Juror Nine feels unimportant and unnoticed.

He regularly lies about things to get attention from others or to make himself feel important.

He once testified in a trial and made up part of his story because he could not remember exactly what occurred on the night of the crime.

He lives in the same apartment building where the murder occurred and heard it take place.

Read the following exchange. How does Juror Three misinterpret Juror Nine's words? (p. 34)

He chooses to believe that Nine was admitting to lying, rather than explaining the witness' actions.

He believes that Nine has misunderstood the witness' testimony.

He needs Nine to explain the old man's situation further.

He agree with nine that the old man is a habitual liar, and cannot be trusted.

Read the following exchange between Jurors Three and Eight (p. 43). What incident from earlier in the play added to the situational irony in this scene?

Juror Three claims that if you say "I'm going to kill you," the way the boy did, you mean it (p. 35).

Jurors Four and Two reveal that they do not understand the concept of reasonable doubt (p. 29).

Juror Eleven, the immigrant, corrects Juror Ten's, the bigot's, grammar (p. 36).

Juror Eight proves that the old man could not have gotten from his bed to his door in 15 seconds (p. 41).

Read the following scene from pages 54-55. What action did Juror Three take which caused Juror Two so much concern?

[...He flicks it [the knife] open...]

[Crouches down until he is quite a bit shorter than EIGHT.]

[Reaches into his pocket and takes out knife...]

[...He and EIGHT look steadily into each other's eyes...]

In Act I Juror Five stated that he grew up in a "slum" (p. 21). How does this become relevant in Act III?

He is able to explain how an expert would use a switchknife becaue he witnessed many knife fights in his life.

He is able to demonstrate how the boy could have stabbed his father in the heart even though his father was a taller man.

He is able to show how the defendant would have cleaned up the crime scene and how long it would have taken.

He is able to explain how a woman with glasses could see an event through a moving train.

In the judge's instructions to the jury, he reminds them that:

All of the jurors must agree on a verdict of guilty or not quilty.

They may discuss the case with their family and friends.

They must make a quick decision because this case is important.

The most of the jurors must agree on a verdict of guilty or not guilty.
