"it's always difficult to keep personal prejudice out of a thing like this. 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. we nine can't understand how you three are still so sure."
