12 Angry Men (1957)
It’s always difficult to keep personal prejudice out of a thing like this. And wherever you run into it, prejudice always obscures the truth. I don’t really know what the truth is. I don’t suppose anybody will ever really know. Nine of us now seem to feel that the defendant is innocent, but we’re just gambling on probabilities - we may be wrong. We may be trying to let a guilty man go free, I don’t know. Nobody really can. But we have a reasonable doubt, and that’s something that’s very valuable in our system. No jury can declare a man guilty unless it’s sure.

“Everything- Every single thing that took place in that courtroom - but I mean everything - say´s he´s guilty. What do you think, I´m an idiot or something? Why don´t you take that stuff about the old man .. The old man who lived there and heard everything. Or this business about the knife. What? ´cause he found another one exactly like it? The old man saw him right there on the stairs! What´s the difference how many seconds it was? Every single thing. The knife falling through the hole in his pocket, you can´t prove he didn´t get to the door. Sure, you can take all the time, hobble around the room. But you can´t prove it! “
