Act i:

The play opens to the empty jury room, and the Judge’s voice is heard, giving a set of final instructions to the jurors. We learn that this is a murder case and that, if found guilty, the mandatory sentence for the accused is the death penalty. All the jurors are in a room taking a break complaining that the room is hot and without air-conditioning; even the fan doesn’t work. All the jurors except for juror 8 think that the 19 year old boy is guilty. 

Reflection: 

Today we started to read “the 12 angry man” and we learn what the case is about the side each juror is on. I can use what I learned today to better understand what will be going on later on in the story.
