Adapted by Sherman L. Sergel. Based on the Emmy Award-Winning Movie by Reginald Rose. Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois.
At the heart of 12 Angry Jurors lies a powerful and Biblical truth - the value of one human life made in God's image. Romans 5:8 says "But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Jesus saw sinful humanity as such a worthwhile prize that He was willing to go to the cross. This is Juror 8's position, as it should be ours.
