� �  It doesn´t say his name, but they told him in the jury � Occupation: The movie doesn´t really specify his

occupation, but they said he is a fan of the baseball team, the Baltimore Orioles.

�  First he is very shy and didn´t wanted to share his opinion, he prefared to not speak.

� He lived in a slum all his life, and he defends the fact that the kid lived in slums all his life.

� He is the third one to call the kid not guilty. � He experiences knife fights in the slums, and then he

showed all the jurors how the knife was used and help them change their opinion and vote.

42

� � This juror was very shy and nervous in the case. � He at first votes guiltu but then he changes his vote for

not guilty. � His vote changed some jurors minds so his vote was very

valuable. � He doesn´t express himself, but by his actions he seems to

not be very convincing of his vote and has some kind of scareness.

�  Some jurors scream at him but then he get to defend himself and sream them back.

�  If I get to decide, I would decide at first guilty, but then with all those explanations they gave, I would change my vote to not guilty.

� He is against all the world. 43
