The classic American story of suspense and discovery.Twelve men of an American jury wrestle with the fate of a young boy accused of killing his father.The prosecution has presented a mass of circumstantial evidence that makes a guilty decision look certain.But one man’s reasonable doubts about the way the case has been presented turns the jury room into a sweltering cauldron of self-righteousness, bigotry, and anger.A meticulously designed jigsaw puzzle, written in 1945, Twelve Angry Men is even more appropriate in today’s climate of hyper-media scrutiny of our judicial system.
