Q

A

I don’t mind telling you this, mister. We don’t owe him a thing. He got a fair trial didn’t he. What do you think that trial cost? He’s lucky he got it. Know what I mean? Look, we’re all grown-ups in here.We heard the facts, didn’t we? You’re not gonna tell me we’re supposed to believe this kid, knowing what he is. Listen I’ve lived among them all my life. You can’t believe a word they say. You know that. I mean, they’re born liars.

Foreman: Now fellas, please. Let’s just go in order here.

A

Just a minute. Here’s a woman…Here’s a woman who’s lying in bed. She can’t sleep. She’s dyin’ with the heat you know what I mean? Anyway she looks out the window, and right across the street she sees the kid stick the knife into his father. The time is 12.10 on the nose. Everything fits. Look she’s known the kid all his life. His window is right opposite hers across the el tracks. And she swore she saw him do it.

Through the windows of a passing el train.

A

10: This el train had no passengers on it. It was just being moved downtown. The lights were out remember, they proved in court that at night you can look through the windows of an el train and see what’s happening on the other side. They proved it.

Q

4: He was born in a slum. Slums are breeding grounds for criminals. I know it and so do you it’s no secret children from slums are potential menaces to society. Now I think…

A

Sister you can say that again. The kids who crawl out of these places are real trash. I don’t want any part of them.

Q

Foreman: Wait. We decided to do this a certain way. I think we ought to stick to it.

A

Oh, stop being a kid, will ya?

30
Q

Foreman: What do you mean, a kid?

A

What do you think I mean? K-I-D: Kid.

31
Q

Foreman: Listen just because I’m trying to keep this organized? Here, you take on the responsibility. I’ll just keep my mouth shut.

A

Why are you gettin’ so hot? Calm down will yah?

32
Q

Foreman: Don’t tell me to calm down. Here you want to take the chair? Just take the chair.

A

Did you ever see such a thing?

33
Q

7: Yeah, you’re doin’ great. Just great, fella. You stay in there and pitch.

A

10: All right, let’s hear from somebody.

34
Q

8: … I felt that the defense counsel wasn’t conducting a thorough enough cross-examination. He let too many things go by-little things.

A

What little things? Listen when these fellows don’t ask questions, it’s because they know the answers already and they figured they’d be heard.

35
Q

2: I don’t know I just thought it was interesting.
3: There are still eleven of us that think he’s guilty.

A

Right. You’re not gonna change anybody’s mind. If you wanna hang this jury, go ahead. The kid’ll be tried again and found guilty, as sure as he’s born.

36
Q

2: I don’t think he oughta joke about it.
Foreman: What do you want me to do about it?

A

ohh listen I don’t see what all this stuff with the knife has got to do with anything. Somebody saw the kid stab his father. What more do we need? You guys can talk the ears right off my head you know what I mean? So let’s get done
and get outta here.

37
Q

11: The knife was important to the district attorney. He spent a day whole day…

A

10: He’s a 15th assistant or something. What does he know about it?

38
Q

Foreman: Guilty. Guilty. Not guilty. Guilty.

A

Boy, how do you like that?

39
Q

7: And another chap flips his wings!

A

All right. Who was it? Come on, I wanna know.

40
Q

9: He didn’t change his vote. I did.

A

Oh, fine.

41
Q

7: No, I wouldn’t like you to tell me why.
9: I’d like to anyway, if you don’t mind.

A

Do we have to listen to this?

42
Q

5: I don’t know. Ten, twelve seconds?
8: A pretty good guess. Anyone else?
11: Sounds right to me.

A

What’s the guessing game for?

43
Q

9: No. He wouldn’t really lie. But perhaps he made himself believe he heard those words and recognized the boy’s face.

A

Coughing fit That’s the most fantastic story ever. How can you make up a thing like that? What do you know about it?

44
Q

2: Does anybody want a cough drop?

A

I’ll take one.

45
Q

8: There’s something else I’d like to talk about for a minute. Thanks. I think we’ve proved the old man couldn’t have heard the boy say “I’m gonna kill you.”

A

You didn’t prove it at all! What are you talking about?

46
Q

8: Let me ask you this you really think the boy’d shout it out a thing like that so the whole neighborhood could hear him? I don’t think so he’s much too bright for that.

A

Bright? He’s a common, ignorant slob. He don’t even speak good English.

47
Q

11: … it seems to me that this man has some very good points to make. From what was presented at the trial, the boy looks guilty, on the surface But maybe if we go deeper…

A

10: Come on, will ya?

48
Q

8: ….Maybe those things happened, but maybe they didn’t. I think there’s enough doubt to wonder if he was there at all at the time of the killing.

A

What do you mean doubt? Didn’t the old man see him running out of the house? He’s twisting the facts. Did or didn’t the old man see the kid running out of the house at twelve ten? Well, did or didn’t he?

49
Q

11: He says he did.

A

Says he did? Boy, how do you like that?

50
Q

5: Now look witnesses can make mistakes.

A

Sure, when you want them to they do! Or when he wants them to they do! Yanno what I mean?

51
Q

Forman: Keep the yelling down.

A

Oh you keep saying that maybe we need a little yelling. These guys keep going off every which way. Did hear the scream, didn’t hear it the scream. What difference does it make? You’re talking about little details and forgetting the important stuff. I mean all of a sudden -

52
Q

8: I call for another vote.

A

I’m talking here!

53
Q

8: Where was the bedroom?
5: Down the hall somewhere

A

I thought you remembered everything don’t you remember that?

54
Q

8: No. Mr. Foreman I’d like to see a diagram of the apartment.
7: Why don’t we have him on trial again?

A

How’s come your the only one in here that wants to see exhibits all the time.

55
Q

7: My friend, for your three dollars a day, you have to listen to everything.

A

All right now that we’ve got that thing in here what about it?

56
Q

8: …walk forty three feet down and open the front door, all in fifteen seconds. Could he have done it?

A

Sure he could’ve done it.

57
Q

3: You make it sound like a long walk.
9: For an old man who had a stroke, it is a long walk.

A

What are you doin’?

58
Q

3: What do you mean you want to try it? Why didn’t his lawyer bring it up if its so important.
5: Maybe he just didn’t think of it.

A

What do you mean didn’t think of it? Do you think the mans an idiot? It’s an obvious thing.

59
Q

5: Would you think of it?

A

10: It don’t matter. He didn’t bring it up because he knew it’d hurt his case. What do you think of that?

60
Q

8: The hall was 43 feet. I’ll pace from that wall and back again.

A

10: Look this is absolutely insane. What are you wasting everybody’s time in here for?

61
Q

7: What are we gonna do, play charades?
3: Come on.

A

What are we waiting for?

62
Q

2: I wanna wait till the second hand reaches 60.

A

Aw, come on!

63
Q

11: I beg pardon…

A

“I beg pardon.” What are you so polite about?

64
Q

Foreman: Well, that’s OK with me. Anyone doesn’t wanna vote? [12 accidentally blows smoke at the Foreman]Hey, come on.
12: Sorry.

A

I think we ought to have an open ballot. Call out our votes, you know? Let’s see who stands where.

65
Q

Foreman: Number ten?

A

Guilty.

66
Q

Foreman: The vote is now six to six.
7: And we go into extra innings here, eh?

A

Six to six! I’m telling you, some of you people in here must be out of your minds. A kid like that!

67
Q

9: I don’t think the kind of boy he is has anything to do with it. Facts are suppose to determine the case.

A

Don’t give me that! I’m sick and tired of facts. You can twist ‘em any way you like. you know what I mean?

68
Q

2: I don’t feel that way. There was a lot of details that never came out.
7: Yeah, well, good luck.

A

Come on. You’re like everybody else. You think too much, you get mixed up. You know what I mean?

69
Q

3: …Anyone in his right mind would blow his stack. He was just tryin’ to bait me.
4: He did an excellent job.

A

I’ll tell you what I think we’re going nowhere here. I’m ready to walk into court right now and declare a hung jury. There’s no point in this thing going on.

70
Q

8: And you weren’t under an emotional stress, were you?
4: No. I wasn’t.
9: I think the point is made.

A

Big point. You can talk till your tongue is draggin’ on the floor. The boy is guilty. Know what I mean, my friend? You got those cough drops?

71
Q

Foreman: All those voting guilty, raise your hands. One, two, three. Well, the vote’s nine to three in favor of acquittal.

A

I don’t understand you people! I mean all these picky little points you keep bringing up, they don’t mean nothing!….
