Loved the film, just one complaint

Rating: Null/10 (21 December 2006)

I still voted this movie a 10/10, but I have one complaint. I feel that many of the points that Juror #8 made should have already been brought up by the defendant's lawyer. Yes Fonda makes the point that the lawyer was appointed to the case and doesn't have much interest in it, but I still find many of the omissions the lawyer made were far fetched. I have never studied law, and I already came to many of the same conclusions that juror #8 did before he brought them up. Perhaps this is because I have grown up watching a number of movies with courtroom scenes in them, many of which stole techniques used in this film in their own movies. The noise from the train, the time to walk through the apartment and the glasses were all very obvious contradictions to the facts given. However, if these facts were already presented in movie prior to juror deliberation, it wouldn't have made much of a movie! Just an observation I made, does anyone else agree/disagree?
