12 Angry Men Adeshola Adewale Juror #1 Juror number one uses Formal Reasoning. He first uses this when he calls for an initial vote amongst the other jurors to see where the votes stand. This is considered formal reasoning because he used a procedure that would get a guaranteed solution‚ being everyone’s decision. Juror one also uses mental laziness.

Twelve Angry Men This was a meeting of 12 jurors to deliberate the fate of an eighteen year old boy. The meeting was more of a verbal structure. The jury foreman was the team leader of the meeting. I feel as though the beginning of the meeting started strong with his decision of voting for guilty or innocence that lead to a hung jury. There was no planning really or discussing the trial at the beginning‚ and the jurors did not work together in a timely manner. The presentation of evidence

11th juror 11th juror is a watchmaker and he’s German. Because he’s a watchmaker‚ he has attention to fine detail and is precise. He sticks to the facts and bases the evidence on facts.

Premium Jury Verdict
the movie of 12 angry men was especially juror number 8 and the old man juror 9‚ also juror number 6. The reason i liked juror number 8 is because‚ juror 8 didn’t agree guilty right away just like the other jurors‚ number 8 really wanted to explain why everyone voted guilty.
