Day One Murder in the first degree—pre-meditated homicide—is the most serious charge tried in our criminal justice courts. Twelve Angry Men is not a court-room drama, but rather a jury-room drama during which many aspects of the court proceedings are recalled. The audience is taken into a room in which the general public is never allowed to enter. The experience of this play, then, is an unusual one.
