A 19-year old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of
this father. "He doesn't stand a chance," mutters the guard as the 12
jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut
case--until one of the jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts.
'"This is a remarkable thing about democracy," says the foreign-born
juror, "that we are notified by mail to come down to this place--and
decide on the guilt or innocence of a person; of a man or woman we have not
known before. We have nothing to gain or lose by our verdict. We should not
make it a personal thing." But personal it is, with each juror revealing
his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder
is re-enacted and a new murder threat is born before their eyes! Tempers get
short, arguments grow heated, and the jurors become 12 ANGRY jurors.
