The foreman changed his mind form “guilty” to “not guilty” because of the 8th Juror’s reasonable questioning about why the boy might be innocent. The foreman remained quite most of the time and only spoke when the jurors were arguing, and was trying to make them stop. But he did ask few questions about what the judge, investigator, and detectives said about the boy. “What I was gonna say was, the psychiatrist definitely stated that the boy had strong homicidal tendencies. I mean, that he was what d’ya call it- capable of committing murder. He descried those entire tests, inkblots and all that stuff, and he said the kid is definitely a killer type. Am I right?(Rose 58).” The foreman first seemed to think the boy was guilty but after listening to everyone he felt he should change his vote to not guilty.
