Once entering the stronghold of the judicial adjudicators, each juror is “instructed to apply the standard of reasonable doubt”. In order for the life of another to not simply be discarded like a bag of refuse, Juror 8 fronts this argument. Seemingly backed by the constant attempts of the foreman to compose the static of opinions expressed by those voting “guilty, Juror 8’s war see’s many other jurors reformed.
