Any juror may be faced with the possibility that they may be picked for jury deciding a capital case. Customarily the attornies conducting Voire Dire will tell the prospective jurors that they may have to decide a life or death case, but there is no difference in the duties and the responsibilities of a juror whether they are decidiing a traffic ticket case or a murder case.

This is a "peremptory challenge." Court rules usually give each attorney a limited number of peremptory challenges. The other type of challenge is a challenge for cause, meaning there is some good cause for dismissing the juror. Cause can mean being related to or knowing one of the parties, being opposed to the death penalty in capital cases or anything that will prevent a juror from freely and fairly rendering a just verdict in the case at hand. Court rules give an unlimited number of challenges for cause.

The first time it was at the beginning of the play and Juror #8 is the only one to raise his hand to vote "not guilty".The second time it was after they saw the knife and it was a secret ballot. Juror #8 said he was not going to vote and if there were 11 "guilty"s then Juror 8 would change his vote, but Juror 9 voted "not guilty".The third time was after Juror 8 reenacted the old man's walk down the hall and Juror #3's and Juror #8's little tussle. Jurors 2,5,6,11 vote "not guilty".The fourth time was after the knife scene and Juror #7 changes his vote because he was "sick of this whole thing". During this vote Jurors 1 and 12 change to "not guilty".The fifth time wasn't really a formal vote and it was after they demonstrated that the lady couldn't see without her glasses. Juror #8 asks "does anyone think there still is not a reasonable doubt?" and no on said anything except for Juror #3.The end of the play was when Juror #3 changed his vote.So 5 times.
