“All right. Now you gentlemen can handle this anyway you want to. I man I’m not going to have any rules. If we want to discuss first and then vote, that’s one way. Or we can vote right now to see how we stand.” (10)

“Hey, let’s take it easy” (16) “Don’t tell me to calm down. Here! Here’s the chair. You

keep it going smooth and everything. What d’ya think, it’s a snap?” (19)

At first during this trial, I was just sure that boy was guilty. Just look at where he comes from, but somewhere along the line I got to think about what Juror 8 and the others were saying. I tired not to say too much though. I’m in charge here and I can’t appear to be too bias. And they way those men were arguing!! It’s ridiculous, can’t everyone just be listen to each other and get along??? In the end, I agreed with Juror 8 and voted not guilty.

Appears as an authority role Other jurors look to him for guidance and they

tend to blame him when something goes wrong Reader is supposed to view him as the control

in the Jury He calls for votes, keeps the men on track and

he states the final verdict of “not guilty”. He initially voted guilty but changed his mind

after hearing about the stab wound. This changed the vote to Nine to three in favor of not guilty.
