Very good acting.

I disagree. From a pragmatist standpoint, he's not necessarily wrong in using a person's socio-economic status to determine their propensity towards crime.

Juror no.8 is badass

@skibidido Lee J. Cobb's character was convinced of the suspect's guilt throughout the movie and while personal prejudice undoubtedly had a role in that, the final few minutes in the jury's quarters reveal other issues in his life that cause him to not have faith in a young man.

@RIBASAROUS Yeah, it's a good movie, but wholly inaccurate. I mean it's so illegal, if it were in real life, this case would have been retried like that.
@Leatherbubba Not at all. Our justice system is founded on the belief that someone is innocent until proven guilty BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT. Juror #8 has reasonable doubt, and, upon reexamination of the situation, the rest of the jurors find that they also have reasonable doubt that the kid did it. If you weren't sure someone was guilty, would you be OK with deciding they were going to die?

EXCELLENT movie. If only every court case in the US had Henry Fonda's character in the jury.
