As a follow-up to our study of the Constitution we are watching one of my favorite films; 12 Angry Men, and discussing how our rights, specifically those listed in the 5th and 6th Amendments often must compete with our human nature.
Here is a trailer for the film:
For extra credit, post a comment answering this question: In what way does the film show us the importance of the 5th and 6th Amendments, specifically when it comes to the role of "reasonable doubt"?

Reasonable doubt means that every jury must be tottally sure and not have a doubt that the defendant is innocent before deciding guilty. In the movie if the one juror hadnt have had a reasonable doubt than the boy would have been put to death.
