Halfway through the film the only woman is escorted from the jury room. What message do you think the director is attempting to send ! Provide an example from film. I think with woman being the eye witness probably .

The woman who was the eye witness was elderly and wore glasses. She lived across the tracks from the young man who was accused of killing his father. It would not be typical for a woman to be called into the jury room if she is a witness; the jury would ask to see the transcript of her testimony if they wanted to reconsider it. They would not see her.
