“Twelve Angry Men”
The story of “Twelve Angry Men” By Reginald Rose, took place in a court of New York City in summer time. The case was about an 18 years old boy that was on trial for the murder of his father. He had a lot of evidence against him, including two witnesses. If he was found guilty, he would receive a mandatory death penalty. Twelve jurors had to discuss the case, before taking any formal decision. The decision had to be by unanimous vote. At the beginning eleven jurors voted guilty and one not guilty. The only one who voted not guilty was Juror #8 who slowly was changed the vote of the other jurors, when he exposed evidences in a logical way for the other jurors. Finally, the verdict was by unanimous vote, and the boy was declared not guilty.
