This isn't really explored. 12 Angry Men makes for a better title than 12 Angry People. While making remakes, adding female jurors was explored but dismissed as executives did not want to change the title. Writing in a female might change the group dynamic and require extra work in script writing.
Juror Number Nine, McCardle (played by Joseph Sweeney) is the oldest man on the jury. The soft-spoken, fair-minded, white-haired gentleman is thin, retiring and resigned, but has a resurgence of life during deliberations.

In civil cases, a verdict may be reached by a majority of nine of the twelve members.
In the film, 'Twelve Angry Men,' the accused's alibi for his whereabouts at the time of the murder was that he was at a movie theater, watching a double feature. Belief in his alibi was challenged when he could not remember the name of either of the films.
