Juror #4 is calm individual who was one of the jurors who switched sides later on. He switched sides when it was announced that the lady who says she saw the murder needs glasses. When the jurors concluded that people don't wear their glasses to sleep, and since the lady was trying to sleep while she saw the murder, they concluded that she could not have seen it.

"You've nade some excellent points. The last one, in which you argued that the boy wouldn't have made the kind of overhand stab wound that killed his father, was very persuasive. But I still believe the boy i guilty of murder. I have two reasons. One: the evidence given by the woman across the street who actually saw the murder committed." (66).
"No I don't. No one wears eyeglasses to bed," (70).

Juror #3 is a forceful and intolerant person. He is the juror who was the last to switch over the not guilty. He switched sides at the end by handing over the knife and reluctantly switches sides.

"Everything-every single thing that came in that courtroom, but I mean everything, says he's guilty. Do you think I'm an idiot or something? You lousy bunch of bleeding hearts." (72).
"You keep coming up with these bright sayings. Why don't you send one into a newspaper? They pay three dollars." (35).

The central character in the play, Eight is the only juror to initially vote “not guilty.” Through his clever claims of the case, all the other jurors are eventually convinced of the same reasonable doubt of the accused’s guilt. He is also a charismatic speaker. He appears to have had some plan to defend the accused in the jury room as he brings a matching switch knife as his own evidence. Eight’s self-confidence in standing alone and his sympathy for the accused present a direct contrast to Three’s pigheadedness and prejudice.

"I don't want to change your mind.... I want to talk for a while. Look – this boy's been kicked around all his life. You know – living in a slum – his mother dead since he was nine. That's not a very good head start. He's a tough, angry kid. You know why slum kids get that way? Because we knock 'em on the head once a day, every day. I think maybe we owe him a few words. That's all"

"I'm not trying to make anyone accept it. I'm just saying it's possible."

"You're probably right."

A ridiculous man whose “guilty” vote seems to rest more on indifference than prejudice. Seven is the juror who continuously expresses a desire to wrap up the process quickly and leave. He is loud and extravagant, and he clearly is not invested in the judicial process or his judicial responsibility. He prefers to get distracted by such things as bullying Eleven for opening the window

"Now wait a second. What are you, the guy's lawyer? Listen, there are still eleven of us who think he's guilty. You're alone. What do you think you're gonna accomplish? If you want to be stubborn and hang this jury, he'll be tried again and found guilty, sure as he's born."

"[angrily] What do you mean, I don’t understand it? Who do you think you are to talk to me like that? [To all] How do you like this guy? He comes over here running for his life, and before he can even take a big breath he’s telling us how to run the show. The arrogance of him!"

"Anyone who’s ever used a switch knife would never have stabbed downward. You don’t handle a switch knife that way. You use it underhanded. [Illustrates.]"

"I suppose it’s conceivable that he could have made the wound, but it’s not likely, not if he had any experience with switch knives, and we know that the kid had a lot of experience with switch knives."

"Oh. Well... [He pauses nervously]. Well, it's hard to put into words. I just-think he's guilty. I thought it was obvious from the word go. I mean nobody proved otherwise," (14).
"[flustered]: Well, sure I've heard of it. I know what it is. I-what I meant-well, the man is guilty. I mean somebody saw him do it. [He looks around helplessly]" (14).
