Judgment (12 Angry Men) Judge and Jurors the boy is not guilty and I have evidence to prove it. The boy was at the movies when the killing took place. Also he was shorter than his dad and it would have been awkward for him to stab his father in that position. The boy was smart enough with the knife that he would have made and underhand stab.

The boy wasn’t home at the time of the killing. He went and met his friends then went to the movie theater. The boy was away from his house for a few hours and couldn’t have been home in time for the killing.

Also, the stab wound was down into his father and that would have been an awkward way to stab a taller person than you. The boy also would have known that and went underhand.

He is experienced with the knife.

The kind of knife he was using would have also been an underhand strike. He was sent to reform school for knife fighting so he should have known how a switch blade works. It would have taken him too long to turn the blade around and do the overhand strike instead of a quick underhand.

I can see where the boy would be guilty, because he had a motive, but how much hatred would you have to have to drive a knife into someone’s heart? Also, the woman saw the killing, but she had glasses and no one wears glasses when she goes to bed.

The boy is not guilty, because he is too smart for that. If he killed his father and ran out of the room then he would have had to come back and wipe the prints off later with the risk of the police being there. He would have had to be smart then dumb then smart again then dumb.
