Twelve Angry Men Untold Story

Twelve Angry Men is an untold story about juries and how their choices decide what happens to another persons life. This play is about a nineteen year old young man on trial for his fathers murder. In the beginning of the play the judge explains to all of the jurors that this is not a game and that they are about to determine someones life. The judge does this by saying,

"Murder in the first degree—premeditated homicide—is the most serious charge in our criminal courts."

Towards the beginning of the play all of the jurors believed that the young man was guilty but one. The consequences of the young man being found guilty are very extreme. He would be put to death with the electric chair. Juror number eight understands these consequences and does not want to give up on the young man just yet. He realizes that the young man can very possibly be not guilty so he wants to give him a chance. Juror eight decides to vote not guilty so the nineteen year old still has a chance. Juror eight then talks to all of the other jurors to try to convince them. Juror eight says,

 "Here's what I think. And I have no personal feelings about this. I just wanna talk about facts." 

What juror eight is doing by saying this is telling all of the other jurors to look at the evidence and to not make any irrational decisions, because there is an eighteen year old's life at risk.
