Why is Othello gullible and easily fooled?
He is not. Every other character in the play, without exception, considers Iago to be honest and trustworthy. Cassio lets Iago trick him into drinking more than he should, and then immediately trusts him again when Iago tells him to go to Desdemona. Is he gullible and easily fooled? Roderigo is conned again and again out of his money by Iago for a purpose anyone could tell was a waste of time. Again and again Roderigo is taken in by Iago. Iago even fools his wife (who by this point ought to know better) in the matter of the handkerchief. Emilia does not think it suspicious enough to tell Desdemona, unfortunately.
As for Othello, Iago knows that Othello cannot be easily fooled. If Othello were so foolish, Iago could have told him his wife was unfaithful, and he would have believed it. No, instead, Iago only plants the idea in Othello's mind, saying all along that he doesn't believe it. He plays on Othello's humility, his concern that a man of his age, background and race could have few attractions for a girl like Desdemona. And so Othello starts to wonder, to doubt, to worry, not because he is gullible but because he is humble. But he doesn't right off believe it. He's not Claudio from Much Ado. "Give me the ocular proof!" he demands. Are these the words of a gullible man?
Iago is a very skillful psychological manipulator. Nobody is immune to his techniques. Nobody. Othello is not a gullible man. Iago is an evil genius.

How does juror number eight in the Twelve Angry Men dispove the old man's testimony?
Juror #8 (Henry Fonda) dispels the old man's testimony by posing a question to fellow jurors:
"How could the old man in the apartment downstairs distinctly hear the threat and the body hit the floor a second later, while the woman across the street was viewing the killing through the last two cars, when an El train was making a deafening noise as it passed?"
Juror #9 (Joseph Sweeney) answers with an opinion:
"Maybe...The seam of his jacket was split under the shoulder...to come to court like that...He was a very old man in a torn jacket and he walked very slowly to the stand. He was dragging his left leg and trying to hide it because he was ashamed. I think I know this man better than anyone here. This is a quiet, frightened, insignificant old man who has been nothing all his life - who has never had recognition - or his name in the newspapers. Nobody knows him. Nobody quotes him. Nobody seeks his advice after seventy-five years. Gentlemen, that's a very sad thing to be nothing. A man like this needs to be quoted, to be listened to, to be quoted just once - very important to him...He wouldn't really lie. But perhaps he made himself believe that he heard those words and recognized the boy's face."

Is brabantio's warning to Othello an accurate or inaccurate prophecy?
When Brabantio warns the Moor, "Look to her, Moor, if thou hast eyes to see; / She has deceived her father, and may thee" it is merely foreshadowing at this point and nothing more. Certainly, she had betrayed her father, but she has shown she is very loyal in the process also. Brabantio knows nothing of Iago's machinations and he even thought that it was spells and witchcraft that had stolen his daughter. Desdemona telling Brabantio that it was her choice probably just made him very furious. It cannot be argued that it was accurate or inaccurate-Brabantio was merely lashing out to assuage his anger.
