12 Angry Men
An elderly witness says he heard the accused boy say, "I'm going to kill you" to his father, but several of the jurors believe this elder witness could not have heard the boy. An elder juror states that the man might have said this "to be important." The elder juror states:It was just that I looked at him for a very long time. The seam of his jacket was split just under his shoulder, or did you notice that. To come to court like that. He was a very old man in a torn jacket and he walked slowly to the stand. He was dragging his left leg and trying to hide it cause he was ashamed. I think I know this man better than anyone here. This is a quiet man, silent insignificant old man, who has been nothing his whole life. And has never had recognition or his name in newspapers. Nobody knows him, nobody quotes him and nobody seeks his advice after 75 years. Gentleman that is a very sad thing to be nothing. A man like this needs to be quoted to be listened to, to be quoted just once. It's very important to him. It will be so hard for him to recede into the background...He wouldn't really lie, but perhaps he made himself believe he heard those words and recognized the face.
The body hit the floor just as the El Train passed by, therefore, the train had been roaring by the old man's window for a full 10 seconds before the body hit the floor.

He is taking this case personally because he feels that the immigrants will take over. Third, no one wears eyeglasses to bed and she could not have had enough time to put her eyeglasses on, since the killing look place just as she looked out the window, and immediately after the lights went out. That is, it provides enough evidence to infer that the elderly witness probably did not hear the boy say, "I'm going to kill you. First, the woman had marks on her nose, which could not have been from anything other than eyeglasses, as juror #4 said. " Some jurors believe the elderly man could not have heard this. Juror #9 notices that he has some marks on his nose and that the woman who testified had those same marks. He begins to convince the other jurors by stating that a six car El Train takes about 10 seconds to pass any given point. First, the old man who lived downstairs said he heard the kid yell out "I'm going to kill you.
