Reply To: “12 Angry Men” (Year 2)

Hi Ola. I agree — it’s a bit hard to believe that only 12 men are able to decide whether someone is guilty or not. Do you think you would be able to cut off your feelings when assessing something like that? Or maybe it could be a good thing? After all, is such circumstances, you don’t know the defendant, so you shouldn’t have any feelings towards them. Yet the jury who said the boy was not guilty did in fact feel sympathetic towards him and that was the reason he started to question everything.
