A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. "He doesn't stand a chance," mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case—until one of the jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts.
Juror One: Foreman of the jury who takes his/her authority seriously but not an overbearing leader.
Juror Two: A meek hesitant person, who finds it difficult to maintain any opinion of his/her own. He/she is easily swayed and usually adopts the opinion of the last person to who he/she spoke.
Juror Three: He/she is a very strong, very forceful, extremely opinionated person. He/she is humorless and is intolerant of opinions other than his/her own, and accustomed to forcing his/her wishes and views upon others.
Juror Four: She/he seems to be a person of wealth and position, and a practice speaker who presents her/himself well at all times. She/he seems to feel a little bit above the rest of the jurors. Her/his only concern is with the facts in this case, and she/he is appalled with the behavior of others.
Juror Five: She/he is a naïve, very frightened young person who takes her/his obligations in this case very seriously but who finds it difficult to speak up when her/his elders have the floor.
Juror Six: He/she is an honest but dull-witted person who comes upon his/her decisions slowly and carefully. He/she is a person who finds it difficult to create positive opinions, but who must listen to and digest and accept those opinions offered by others which appeal to him/her most.
Juror Seven: A loud, flashy, salesperson type who has more important things to do than to sit on a jury. She/he is quick to show temper and equally quick to form opinions on things about which she/he knows nothing. She/he is a bully, and, of course, a coward.
Juror Eight: This is a quiet, thoughtful, gentle person, one who sees all sides of every question and constantly seeks the truth. She/he is a person of strength tempered with compassion. Above all, she/he is one who wants justice to be done, and will fight to see that it is.
Juror Nine: This is a mild, gentle older person, long since defeated by life who mourns for the days when it would have been possible to be courageous without shielding him/herself behind his/her many years.
Juror Ten: He/she is an angry bitter person who antagonizes almost at sight. A bigot who places no values on any human life save his/her own. Here is person who has been nowhere and is going nowhere and knows it.
Juror Eleven: This is a foreign born juror who speaks with an accent. He/she is almost subservient to the people around him/her. He/she will honestly seek justice, because he/she has suffered through so much injustice.
Juror Twelve: She/he is a slick, bright advertising person wh0 thinks of human beings in terms of percentages, graphs and pools, and has no real understanding of people. She/he is superficial snob, but is trying to be companionable.
Guard: A police officer to assists the legal process.
