"2nd Juror: Um - there's something I'd like to say. I mean it's been bothering me a little and as long as we're stuck...Well, there was this whole business about the stab wound and how it was made, the downward angle of it, you know? 3rd Juror: Don't tell me we're gonna start with that. They went over it and over it. 2nd Juror: I know they did, but I don't go along with it. The boy is five feet, seven inches tall. His father was six two. That's a difference of seven inches. It's a very awkward thing to stab down into the chest of someone who's more than half a foot taller than you are."
