Show Synopsis:
Adapted from the original television show, Twelve Angry Jurors is an American courtroom drama which explores the deliberations of a jury in a homicide trial, as they decide the fate of a teenager accused of murdering his abusive father. In the beginning, they are nearly unanimous in deciding a guilty verdict, as influenced by their own background and upbringing. However, one juror votes for a not guilty verdict, thus creating a justification for reasonable doubt. Eventually, the juror convinces the other jurors to look beyond their own personal prejudice to support a unanimous not guilty verdict.
Juror 1
30s-50s: Jury Foreman: petty, formal, determined, tries to keep things on track, physically non-threatening a plus
Juror 2
30s-50s: meek, easily swayed, wears glasses
Juror 3
40s-50s: Main character: Antagonist, physically big person, forceful, opinionated, can be intimidating, humorless, sadistic, thinks they are always right, bad relationship with their son who left home, the last holdout for not guilty verdict

Juror 6
40s-60s: thinks things through, honest, weighs all the facts before coming to a conclusion, slow and careful
Juror 7
35-55: loud, flashy, car salesperson-type, quick to temper and form opinions, somewhat of a bully and a coward at the same time, feels they are too important for jury duty, complains, wants to settle matters quickly because they have tickets for a B-way show, flashy dresser
Juror 8
