Juror 8 produces o knife exactly like the murder weapon, believing it will show: That the knife could not have been the murder weapon That the knife is not rare or unique That the defendant is innocent That the defendant did lose the knife

## Step 1<br />This problem is based on the play "12 Angry Men" by Reginald Rose. In this play, Juror 8 is the only one who initially believes that the defendant is innocent. He uses a knife to demonstrate his point.<br />## Step 2<br />Juror 8's intention is to show that the knife he is using is not unique or rare. This is to suggest that the murder weapon could have been made by anyone, not necessarily the defendant.<br />## Step 3<br />By doing this, Juror 8 is trying to cast doubt on the evidence presented by the prosecution, which could lead to the defendant's innocence.
