Assumed?! Now, listen to me, you people! I’ve seen all kinds of dishonesty in my day, but this little display takes the cake. You come in here with your heart bleeding all over the floor about slum kids and injustice, and you make up some wild stories, and all of a sudden, you start getting through to some of these weak-kneed…Well, you’re not getting through to me! I’ve had enough! What’s the matter with you people?! Every one of you knows this kid is guilty! He’s gotta die! We’re letting him slip through our fingers here!
Boy oh boy. There’s always one.
Damn kids…. ya work ya life out!
Don’t give me those facts. I’m sick and tired of facts.
Don’t give me those facts. I’m sick and tired of facts.
Ever since we entered this room you’ve been behaving like a self-appointed public avenger. You want to see this boy die cause you personally want it, not because of the facts. You’re a sadist!
Excitable? You bet I’m Excitable, we’re trying to put a guilty man in the chair where he belongs!
He doesn’t even speak good English.
I bet you’d like to be the one to pull the switch.
I don’t care if I’m along or not. It’s my right.
I don’t understand you people! I mean all these picky little points you keep bringing up. They don’t mean nothin’. You saw this kid just like I did. You’re not gonna tell me you believe that phony story about losing the knife, and that business about being at the movies. Look, you know how these people lie! It’s born in them! I mean what the heck?! I don’t even have to tell you. They don’t know what the truth is! And, lemme tell you, they don’t need any real big reason to kill someone, either! No sir!
I’ll bet ya five thousand dollars I’d remember what movie I saw!!!
I’ve lived among them all my life. They’re born liars.

It sounds like one of those open and shut things. They proved it ten different ways, but there always seems to be a reasonable doubt no matter how I look at it
It’s hard to put into words. I just think he’s guilty. I thought it was obvious from the word ‘go’. Nobody proved otherwise.

It’s very hard to keep personal prejudice out of something like this. No matter where you go or what you do, prejudice obscures the truth. I’m not sure what the truth is, I don’t think any of us here will never know what the truth is. 9 of us seem to feel the defendant is innocent, but we’re only gambling on probabilities, we may be even trying to return a guilty man to the community, but we have a reasonable doubt in our minds and that is a safeguard: no jury can declare a defendant guilty unless it’s sure. We 9 can’t understand how you 3 are still that sure. Perhaps you can tell us.
juror 8) It’s very hard to keep personal prejudice out of a thing like this. And no matter where you run into it, prejudice obscures the truth.
Lock. Door. Stop!
Man 1): Bright? He’s a common ignorant slob. He don’t even speak good English. Man 2): DOESN’T even speak good English.
No. Not guilty. Not guilty.
NOT GUILTY
Number 2): It’s hard to put into words. I just think he’s guilty. I thought it was obvious from the word ‘Go’. Nobody proved otherwise. Number 8): Nobody has to prove otherwise. The burden of proof is on the prosecution. The defendant doesn’t even have to open his mouth. That’s in the Constitution.
Number 3): What’s the matter with you people?! Every one of you knows this kid is guilty! He’s gotta die! We’re letting him slip through our fingers here! Number 8): Slip through our fingers? Are you his executioner? Number 3): I’m one of ’em! Number 8): Maybe you’d like to pull the switch! Number 3): For this kid? You bet I would!
Juror #8: I feel sorry for you…
Number 3): You’re talking about a matter of seconds. Nobody can be that accurate. Number 8): Well I think that testimony that can put a boy into the electric chair SHOULD be that accurate.
Number 8): I think we’ve proven that the old man couldn’t have heard the boy say *I’m going to kill you,* but supposing… Number 10): You didn’t prove it at all. What’re you talking about? Number 8): But supposing he really did hear it. This phrase, how many times has each of us used it? Probably hundreds. *I could kill you for that, darling.* *If you do that once more, junior, I’m going to kill you.* *Come on, Rocky, get in there and kill him!* We say it every day. It doesn’t mean we’re going to kill someone.
Number 8): We want your arguments. Number 3): I gave ya my arguments! Number 8): We’re not convinced! We want to hear them again. We have as much time as it takes.
Perhaps you’d like to put the needle in?
Reasonable doubt! That’s nothing but words.
Reasonable doubt. That’s nothing but words.
Suppose we’re wrong.
Suppose we’re wrong.
That’s a damn stupid thing to do.
There’s a phony deal if I ever heard it!
This isn’t an exact science.
Wait a minute, what are you trying to give us here? The phrase was I’m going to kill you and he screamed it out at the top of his lungs! Don’t tell me he didn’t mean it! Anyone who says it the way he said it they mean it!
Well, I’m not used to supposin’. I’m just a workin’ man. My boss does all the supposin’, but I’ll try one. Supposin’ you talk us all out of this and, uh, the kid really did knife his father?
What are you doin’?! Listen to me! I’m tryin’ to tell you somethin’! There’s a danger here! These people are wild! Don’t you know about it?! LISTEN TO ME! LISTEN!
You can’t send someone off to die on evidence like that!
You know, they get drunk,…oh, they’re very big drinkers, all of ’em, and bang: someone’s lyin’ in the gutter. Oh, nobody’s blaming them for it. That’s how they are! By nature! You know what I mean? VIOLENT!
You’re talking about a matter of seconds. Nobody can be that accurate.
