what single piece of evidence in 12 Angry Men, had the most important impact on the final verdict?

There are a few facts that you can consider. I really questioned the old man's testimony. The 8th Juror brings into question whether or not the downstairs neighbor, an old man who had suffered a stroke and could only walk slowly, could have gotten to the door to see the boy run down the stairs in fifteen seconds, as he had testified. 8th Juror recreates the floor plan of the apartment, while 2nd Juror times him, and they conclude that he would not have been able to reach his door in fifteen seconds.
