The rest of the film centrs around the jurys difficulty in reaching a unanimous verdict. While several of the jurors harbour personal prejudices, Jurormaintains that the evidence presented in the case is circumstantial, and that the boy deserves a fair deliberation. He calls into question the accuracy and reliability of the only two witnesses to the murder, the rarity of the murder weapon a common pocketknife, of which he has an identical copy, and the overall questionable circumstances including the fact that an elevated train was passing by at the time of the murder. He further argues that he cannot in good conscience vote guilty when he feels there is reasonable doubt of the boys guilt.Having argued several points and gotten no favourable response from the others, Jurorreluctantly agrees that all he seems to be accomplishing is hanging the jury. He takes a bold gamble He requests another vote, this time by secret ballot. He proposes that he will abstain from voting, and if the other eleven jurors are still unanimous in a guilty vote, then he will acquiesce to their decision. The secret ballot is held, and a new not guilty vote appears. JurorAnnu Kapoor is the first to support Juror 8, feeling that his points deserve further discussion. ........
