Wait that's a great point about the possible mistrial. I wonder how real lawyers feel about this movie

2025-06-25 01:03:54 +0000 UTCTechnically it should have ended in a mistrial, since Juror #8 commits juror misconduct when he introduces new evidence ( the second knife ), conducts his own investigation in the boy’s neighborhood, and leads the jury in experiments based on speculation instead of facts which were introduced at trial (e.g., the jury guesses how long it takes an elevated train to go past a given point, or whether the woman who claimed to have seen the murder across the tracks was or wasn’t nearsighted ). Also of note is how often these people tell each other not to be offended by offensive remarks. Bigoted language, discussions about people from “slums,” and personal insults are brushed off by calls for civility—not for the assholes to become civil, but for the offended to be civil in responding to the assholes. Some people still do this now. John Fiedler ( juror #2 ) because of his size and voice, was typecast beginning early in his career for delicate, quiet, nerdy characters, although he also played some sneaky villains. It's fine if a juror has doubt of guilt, also a unanimous decision isn't required to end the case - AKA a "hung jury" where no total agreement can be reached on guilt or innocence. Some jury trials are civil cases ( a lawsuit ), “By a preponderance of evidence” is the standard of proof most often applied in civil law cases, including personal injury claims. It means that the plaintiff must prove to the judge or jury that it is more likely than not that the claim they've put forward is fact.
