Books by Reginald Rose

In this play a man is dead, and the life of another is at stake. A guilty verdict seems a foregone conclusion, but Juror Number Nine confronts the ignorant prejudice of some of his fellow members, and a fierce conflict ensues.

A young delinquent is on trial for the murder of his aggressive father. The judge has directed the jury to find the boy guilty if there is no reasonable doubt. Eleven of the jurors declare there is no reasonable doubt, but one of them, while far from convinced of the boy''s innocence, feels that some of the evidence against him has been ambiguous. At the end of a long afternoon he wins, all the others round to his view.
