12 Angry Men

Who was the first Juror to vote not-guilty?

• Juror 1

• Juror 3

• Juror 8

• Juror 9

• Juror 11

In the first ballot, Juror 8 votes “not guilty” because:

• He thinks the defendant was innocent
• He believes the defendant isn't a threat to society anymore
• He believes there should be discussion before the verdict
• He thinks the jury should not appear to hasty

In the discussion, Juror 8 points out that in American justice system, there is an assumption of:

• Guilt until proven innocent
• Guilt until the majority of the jury votes not guilty
• Innocence until proven guilty
• Innocence until someone votes guilty

Juror 8 produces a knife exactly like the murder weapon, believing it will show:

• That the knife is not rare or unique
• That the knife could not have been the murder weapon
• That the defendant did lose the knife
• That the defendant is innocent

After revealing his own experiences in slums, Juror 5 voted not guilty probably because he is:

• Sympathetic to a kid with a similar background
• Rather quiet and easily swayed
• Too uneducated to understand the discussion
• Too young to understand the evidence

The downward angle of the stab wound in the victim becomes an issue for the "Guilty" argument because:

• Stab wounds are generally sideways

• The downward angle allowed for little bleeding

• Switchblades would be used underhand not overhand

The defendant in this case can be described as?

• white, late teens, from the slums

• Hispanic, early twenties, from the slums

• Hispanic, late teens, from the slums

• African-American, late twenties, from a rich neighborhood
