I’m over here waiting for the announcement of the verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial and all I can think about are the people on that jury, the real people behind those doors. I wonder what they’re doing with all the information that they’ve been bombarded with during this trial. I hope they’ve done the right thing. My heart is with the family of George Floyd. I cannot imagine the pain this is causing them, all that on top of the absolute horror of losing a loved one in such a traumatic, sudden and well-documented manner.
Today’s Movie Clip O’ the Day comes from 12 Angry Men because character is what we do behind closed doors, it’s what we say when we think no one is listening, it’s how we react when we’re caught off guard, what we do when we feel threatened.
12 Angry Men (1957)
A jury holdout attempts to prevent a miscarriage of justice by forcing his colleagues to reconsider the evidence.
