Context
Throughout the jury deliberations, very slowly the different jurors have developed reasonable doubt about the defendant鈥檚 guilt. With Juror Eight鈥檚 questions, various pieces of evidence have been analyzed and even dismissed. The last piece of evidence is the witness to the murder--by a woman who was not wearing her bifocals. Finally, the last Juror is persuaded just before the jurors file back into the courtroom to deliver their verdict.
