1. Discuss some of the positions and emotions displayed by the jurors. Looking at all the jurors, they all have different thoughts and beliefs as to why they are truly there to determine the young boy's fate. Juror Seven, the individual who was obsessed with going to a baseball game, seemed not to care about the boy's fate and was self-centered. Then there were some who were so focused on the facts told in court that they did not look at the circumstances of the facts, for example: that there was only one switchblade like that in the world, however, has been denied. Juror Three was overwhelmed by the entire case, due to his son running away two years earlier, because the juror beat him "until he became a man." The tenth juror allowed his prejudicial mind to influence his decision, only to eventually realize that what he was saying was racist and had no facts (everyone is human). Juror twelve upset me the most because he was easily forced to make a different decision every time someone spoke; he was really playing both sides.2. Name several standards or benchmarks used by jurors to base guilt or innocence. What influenced the use of these standards? Juror two, based strictly on facts, opinions and ongoing discussions. The third juror believed he was guilty because of his past experiences with his son, and his emotions were revealed because he hated himself for hurting his son. Many of the jurors who initially joined juror eight, it was because they began to doubt whether he was truly guilty and feared they were killing an innocent boy. The seventh juror based everything on how quickly he could get out of the room to get to the baseball game. Racist juror number ten believed that all people of the boy's race g... middle of paper... the boy deserved. Comparing Juror Eight to many of the other jurors, the other jurors were quick to point fingers, accusing others of having changed their minds about other simple words; the jurors were afraid of standing out and being different from the majority.8. What facilitation skills were used? One of the main skills was simple taking turns; each juror had the opportunity to express their opinion and try to convince others to join their side. As we have seen, in the end the eight jurors convinced the other eleven that the boy was innocent, because the "facts" were all a bit confusing. The main goal was to have a group of jurors all agree on innocent or guilty and it can't be a hung jury. Some jurors simply wanted to vote and complete the task, while others preferred to investigate the boy's case a little deeper than what happened in the courtroom.
