The second half of the movie exposed each person’s personality and motives a lot more. It was evident that the majority of the jury makes a decision based on what they hear. They must be fed with the logical reasoning made by other people, to decide on their decision. They dare not to think the situation through for themselves. The group is fickle and easily influenced, so when the old man gives several examples that the boy might not be guilty, half of the jury change their minds. Yet at first they are reluctant to accept the old man’s reasoning, because they stubbornly hold on to their original, emotional disposition.
