12 angry men
in this book 12 angry men it takes place in  new York city court in1957.it starts with us learning about the cause and if the defendant is found guilty then he will be sentenced to a mandonatry sentence of the death penalty. Then the jury comes in complaining  about how hot the room was that they just left. The defendant was accused of killing his father and the 12 jury voted guilty except the 8 man who voted not guilty .which means they have to discussed the case again making other act crazy because they are probably tired of being ther.so they go back to talk about it and they go around the table saying why they thing he is guilty .while going around a teaming up on why the defendant is guilty happens happens between 3rd and 10th man but the 10th man is what I want to talk about during his rally with the 3rd man he reveals that he is really racist against the defendant and that making it why he thinks he is wrong so I have a question is judging a person character by there skin right and not by their character ? and does this type of thing happen in court a lot where people get found guilty due to there skin? I think that this happened more than we think ok some people do commit crimes but I don't think someone who is racist should be on the jury determine someone's life having another human being life in there hands and destroying it by sending them to jail all because you hate a person skin color due to past experience and judging a person while you have no clue their character . in this book so far by what I read seem to have the same problem that continue to happen today in court. they have gotten better at it in our day and age with more checks so a person wouldn't be judge and looked at differently but only focused on the case and those type of thing not his background or his skin so he wouldn't be judge differently but this book is good so far and I do recommend it to another person who like shows like law and order and crime type of shows.
