Answers: I watched the movie about 3 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. However, now looking back I can't seem to remember the ending. I know the jurors found him innocent but I can't remember what else happened. Could someone please write out a brief, but informative summary of the end?
Thanks in advance!

In the end, the final juror to change his mind was Lee J. Cobb, whose son had cut off communication with him because he had been too tough a father. Henry Fonda and some of the others got him so angry he yelled "I'm gonna kill you!," which got him to see, as he had no real desire to kill anyone, that the minority defendant had no real desire to hurt someone, but was upset about being pushed around.

After delivering the verdict, of Not Guilty, the jurors leave the courtroom...and you see the human side of them--as they simply say good bye to each other with parting words, and wish each other luck.

One of the reasons you don't remember the ending any more than I used to was it was a very commonplace, nondramatic, anticlimactic ending. All they did was say good-bye and go their own ways, just like regular jurors do-a reminder that people may connect because of the tension of deciding another's freedom or even that person's lif,e but, when it is over, we are all just regular average people---some executives, some just family men, and what ever brought them apart is behind them-the friction is forgotten, the pains of what they said in the jury deliberation room forgiven.
