Not sure how many have read/watched this. I enjoyed reading it in junior high, and many years later, watching the film. From what I understand, it’s a bad representation of what should be happening from a legal standpoint (as in, they shouldn’t be adducing their own evidence at all), and they quite possibly reached the wrong verdict even in this fictionalized account.
Nonetheless, in terms of discussion or debate, internet forums being one venue, it looks like an inspiring way of conducting a conversation to try to discern the truth.
Do you self-identify with any juror or jurors as represented therein?
For myself, I mostly identify with jurors 9, 11, 6 and a little bit of 2.
Juror 9 - Willing to hear out a dissenting opinion
Juror 11 - Idealizes higher values, prizes decency
Juror 6 - Honest but dull-witted
Juror 2 - Meek and easily swayed
I hope one day to be more like juror 4 - cooly rational and successful.
What about you?
