or 7 inches shorter than you, right?
Yeah, maybe even a little more.
Well, let it be more.
- Hey, that ain't funny!
- What's the matter with you?
Calm down...
Nobody's hurt, right?
Nobody's hurt.
Now...
...there's you angle. Take a look at it. Down and in.
That's the way I would stab a taller
man and that's the way it was done.
Now go ahead, tell me I'm wrong.
Down and in! That's how it was done.
Wait a minute, wait a minute!
Let me see that!
This is a stiletto, not a switchblade.
I hate these things!
I grew up with them.
Have you ever seen them used in a fight?
Too many of them.
On my stoop, in my backyard...
...a lot across the street...
These came with the neighbourhood where I lived.
It's funny I wasn't thinking of it...
I guess I try to forget those things...
You can't use this kind of knife that way.
You have to hold it like this to release the blade.
In order to stab downwards
you have to change your grip.
Well, how do you use it?
Underhand, like this.
Anyone who's ever used one of these
would never handle it any other way.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm sure. That's
why it's made like this.
Well, we all agree that that boy is
pretty handy with the knife, right?
Yeah, that's right.
You think he could have made the
kind of wound that killed his father?
Not with the experience he'd had using
these things, no, I don't think he would.
He'd go for my laying...
How do you know? Were you in the
room when the father was killed?
No... neither was anyone else.
You're giving us a lot of mumbo
jumbo, I don't believe it!
I don't think you can determine the type of
wounds this boy might or might not have made,
simply because he knows
how to handle a knife.
That's right, that's absolutely right!
What do you think?
Well...
...I don't know.
What do you mean you don't know?
I don't know!
How about you?
Hey listen, listen, listen...
I'll tell you something...
Now, I'm a little sick of this whole
thing already, you know?
I mean, all this yapping is getting us nowhere!
So, I'm gonna break it up here.
I'm changing my vote to not guilty!
You're what?
You heard me. I... I've had enough!
What do you mean you've had enough?
That's no answer!
Hey listen, you... You just
worry about yourself!
He's right!
That is not an answer!
What kind of man are you?
You have been sitting here,
voting guilty with everyone else,
because there are a couple of baseball
tickets burning a hole in your pocket?
And now you say you're going to change your vote
because you've had enough with all the talking?
Alright, listen buddy...
You cannot do this!
You cannot play like this with a man's life!
What is wrong with you?
It is a terrible and ugly thing to do!
Do you not care?
Hey, wait a minute!
You can't talk like that to me!
I can talk like that to you!
Now, if you want to vote not guilty, then do it because
you are convinced that the man is not guilty,
not because you've had enough.
If you want to vote guilty, then vote that way.
Or don't you have the guts
to do what you think is right?
Hey now, listen buddy!
Guilty or not guilty?
I told you, not guilty!
Why?
God damn you, I don't have to tell you anything!
Yes, you do! Say it, why?
Cause I don't think he's guilty...
Mr. Foreman, I wish to call for another vote.
Alright jentlemen,
another vote is called for.
And the quickest way is to show off hands.
Anybody object?
All those in favour of not guilty raise your hands.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7... 8.
9.
All those voting guilty, raise your hand.
1... 2...
...3.
The vote is 9 to 3 in favour of not guilty.
I don't understand you people!
I mean, all these little picky points you
keep bringing up don't mean nothing!
They don't mean nothing!
How can you believe this story?
You're an intelligent man and you're not gonna tell
me that you're not, you know the facts of life.
Just look at what we're dealing with here.
You know him!
You know this kid!
This guy other
