As these 12 Jurors, who carry with them, their own prejudices, agendas, and belief systems try desperately, to reach a unanimous decision, one Juror repeatedly calls into question the meaning of “reasonable doubt”, and what it means to be “innocent until proven guilty”.
Following the closing arguments in a murder trial, fully aware that a guilty verdict carries a mandatory death sentence, 12 ordinary people are charged with determining the guilt and/or innocence of a 16-year-old, inner-city teenager accused of stabbing his father to death.
Twelve Angry Jurors has a lot to say about how our own biases, including issues of racism and discrimination, affect the basis on which the American dream, and the American Judicial system were built.
