Summary
Twelve jurors deliberate a first-degree murder charge of a teenager accused of killing his own father. The evidence against the defendant is overwhelming and the jurors begin with an open vote, revealing only one juror for "Not Guilty". Juror #8 earns the scorn of the others but states he would only like to give the case due process. The jurors review the evidence and juror #8 demonstrates that he was able to purchase a knife identical to the supposed unique murder weapon.
