Corrected entry: Henry Fonda goes into the jury room humming and harring about making a proper decision and talking it through and so on and so on. Then halfway through the film, talking about the unique switchblade that was crucial to the prosecution's case, he pulls a matching knife out of his pocket and sticks it in the table. If he had a duplicate switchblade all along, why didn't he just show it to the court, or to the jurors as soon as they entered the room?

Correction: Jurors are not allowed to introduce evidence, speak up in defense of the defendant, or in attack of same. Counsel for the defense and the prosecution are the only individuals allowed to introduce evidence or present arguments. The jury's sole responsibility is to make what they can out of the evidence they are presented.
