has a reasonable doubt like he is not sure of what suspect does. Davis start to think and
questions the others about he’s reasonable doubt in the case. They start explaining one by
one why they choose guilty or not guilty. After that they are arguing and some are shouting.
 While davis is starting explaining why he choose not guilty, The others are starting to
convince that the murderer is not guilty until Davis convinced 10 of their group members
and 1 person are still not convince. Everyone are looking to this person who’s still thinking
guilty because of he’s trash explanation until he switched to not guilty.
