Moreover, how does Juror 9 background affect his vote?
9th Juror is an old man. He respects 8th Juror's passion and sense of justice and quickly comes to his aid and becomes and advocate for the defendant. 9th Juror admits to having changed his vote because he'd like to hear the arguments out.
In this regard, why did juror change his vote?
Changing His Vote At first, the foreman votes that the defendant is guilty of killing his father but, in Act III of the play, he changes his vote to 'not guilty' when Juror Number Five is able to demonstrate that a switchblade would not be used from an upward angle because switchblades are used underhanded.
He thinks there's a reasonable doubt because juror 8 states that it's logical to say that she was not wearing her glasses in bed and she didn't put them on just to glance out a window which convinces him to change his vote.
