12 Angry Men

He also could not remember the names of the actors in the movie when the police interviewed him right after he found out about his fathers murder. Jack Lemon then questioned the fourth jury member about what he had done over the past few days. The man could recall about four or five days after that he could recall that he went to the movies with his wife but he could not remember the movie or the actors in the movie. This detail was important to show the other jury members that it is very hard to remember things especial after a traumatizing experience. Jack Lemon then went onto explain that jury member had not been traumatized and he had trouble remembering what movie he had seen.
             One the biggest key factors that made me feel that the boy was innocent was when Jack Lemon and jury member nine shot down the eyewitnesses" testimony. They first shot down the old man testimony that he saw the boy running down the stairs. They got the blue prints of the old man apartment. Then set up an experiment to see if he could make it to the door within fifteen seconds. Jack Lemon then imitated the old man's limp and walk around portraying the old man actions to get to the door to see the boy going down the stairs. It took Jack Lemon 48 seconds to get to the door. When the jury members see this fact a lot of them change their minds. When they look at the second eyewitness's testimony they figured out that she could not have seen the boy because most likely did not have her glasses on. Also with the passing train it would have made it almost impossible for her to identify the boy as the murderer. These were two crucial factors for the boy being found not guilty. .
             When they first voted on whether the boy was guilty or not and Jack Lemon raised his hand for not guilty and explained that he was not saying the boy was not guilty but he felt the boy deserved to have it discussed. He then went on to explain his view that it was a man life they were dealing with.
