Product Information

Cobb as Juror 3, a hot-tempered owner of a courier business who is estranged from his son; the most passionate advocate of a "guilty" verdict.

The 10th Juror makes racist statements throughout, and as the deliberation goes on, it becomes clear he is less interested in following due process and more interested in seeing the boy punished because of his race. Replacing Robert Cummings, who had played the role on television, Fonda deserved (but did not receive) an Oscar nomination for his understated performance at the least (granted he would have been up against Marlon Brando, Charles Laughton, and Alec Guinness, who understandably won for The Bridge on the River Kwai). With less than a hundred pages, it is a pretty short read, but the book raises so many important issues of justice in those pages - and it does so without any legal jargon.

La historia se desarrolla presentando en que se fundamentan estas dudas, la seriedad con que se debe tomar estas resoluciones y la ligereza con la que muchas veces son consideradas, además de los prejuicios y discriminación presentes al ver los hechos. Además, se van descubriendo las distintas ideas, sentimientos, intereses, motivaciones y características de las diferentes personalidades que conforman el jurado.

If the original book was published in multiple volumes then this reprint is of only one volume, not the whole set. The prosecution appears to have condemned the boy effectively and the witness evidence appears sound to all jury members.Like a surgeon he opens up the minds and hearts of his characters to reveal how their backgrounds and personal opinions influence their decisions.
