A persons surroundings can influence him. In "12 Angry Men" by Reginald Rose a young mans life is held by twelve men with contrasting views. After hearing, the case the jurors go into deliberations. Eleven of the 12 are convinced that the boy murdered his father. However, Juror # 8 a caring man, who wishes to talk about why the other jurors think that the boy is guilty, clashes with Juror # 3, a sadistic man who would pull the switch himself to end the boys life. Early on, it's not revealed why #3 feels so strongly about putting the boy to death. He is just so dead set on killing him though. But because of Juror # 8, the others must now go over the whole case again to review the facts.According to Rose, several elements can influence a jury's verdict, s
He is a grown man living in a civilized community and would like to see a boy who he does not even know die by his own hands Juror #8 does not think highly of Three for what he says about killing the boy and shouts "your a sadist. It rather teaches the lesson of not jumping to conclusions and reviewing facts thoroughly before acting on vague ones. uch as the emotional make-up of individual jurors. This story shows how close the boy came to death, and if the jurors did not review the evidence, he would have just been killed. "For this kid, you bet I'd pull the switch. " But #4 sees the truth that #8 has brought into the light and still votes guilty. Juror #3, who is convinced that the boy is guilty, and is allied with Juror#4, who is eventually convinced by #8 showing of how the two testimonies given by the old woman and old man are lies, votes guilty. His hatred of the boy revealed because of his similar experiences with his own son. When someone is asked to judge someone else, should not you look at al the facts to be sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that the man who committed the crime is guilty? Yes, a juror should look at all the facts but some do not, they just judge the person on looks or how that person feels. Juror #8 tries to convince #3 how the boy is not guilty beyond reasonable doubt but #3 does not listen and would rather see the boy die. " which is the absolute truth about Three. In the end, #3 gives in after all the jurors have changed their guilty votes to not guilty, because of # 8.
