FOUR. We're missing the point here. This boy- let's say he's a product of a filthy neighborhood and a broken home. We can't help that.

What can we infer about juror #4
He wants to help poor children in the slums
He is tired of being in court and he wants to go home
He believes that children's bad behavior are their parents fault
