The sign of a roadblock or impasse arose when Juror 8 voted “not guilty” as he states that the accused must be given some deliberation. He does not follow the crowd and gives his own decision. His action caused roadblock because all other voted guilty for the boy. The interesting part is that every member of the jury comes from a different background and that leads to the different opinions. Pre-conceived notions and being unprofessional also create certain roadblocks in taking proper decisions. This difference of opinion cause certain visible roadblocks or impasse in the jury room. Juror 8 here wants a proper discussion before going to a verdict. This shows clarity in communication.
