12 Angry Men Test Review
Part I- Identify which juror said each one of the following quotes.
“He was a very old man with a torn jacket and two canes. I think I know him better than anyone here…to be
questioned and listened to and quoted just once. This is very important.”
What’s the matter with you people? This kid is guilty! He’s got to burn. We’re letting him slip through our
fingers here.”
“I’m going to kill you…How many times has each of you used it? Probably hundreds…we say it every day. This
doesn’t mean that we are going to kill someone.”
“Bright. He’s a common, ignorant slob. Her don’t even speak good English.”
“All right. Now you gentlemen can handle this any way you want to. I mean, I’m not going to make any rules. If
we want to discuss it first and then vote, that’s one way.”
“Switch-knives came with the neighborhood where I lived. Funny I didn’t think of it before…anyone who’s ever
used a switch knife would never have stabbed downward.”
“You’re right. It’s the kids. The way they are—you know? They don’t listen…rotten kid! You work your heart
out…”
“I have always thought that a man was entitled to have unpopular opinions in this country. This is the reason I
