This riveting memoir by a published novelist recounts the author's experience as a juror in a murder trial and his subsequent investigation of the conditions in East Harlem that lead young people to be involved in gangs and crime.Beyond its gripping account of the 2017 trial, Juror Number 2 takes you into the housing projects, police precincts and schools in East Harlem to highlight what's working amidst so much that isn't. "The jury system works at assessing innocence or guilt but public institutions too often fail at the daunting job of social repair," Sigel writes, as he lays bare the high cost of fractured families, failing schools, decrepit public housing, and the revolving door of the criminal justice system.ENDORSEMENTS for Juror Number 2: "Truly compelling, impossible to put down."-- Novelist Max Byrd. "Engrossing, engaging, so well written. Such a gift to show the young men caught up in this."--- Wendy Kopp, founder, Teach for America "Riveting. Far more than a courtroom drama; it challenges all of us."--Joseph Johnson, founder, National Center for Urban School Transformation

A landmark American drama that inspired a classic film and a Broadway revival—featuring an introduction by David Mamet A blistering character study and an examination of the American melting pot and the judicial system that keeps it in check, Twelve Angry Men holds at its core a deeply patriotic faith in the U.S. legal system. The play centers on Juror Eight, who is at first the sole holdout in an 11-1 guilty vote. Eight sets his sights not on proving the other jurors wrong but rather on getting them to look at the situation in a clear-eyed way not affected by their personal prejudices or biases. Reginald Rose deliberately and carefully peels away the layers of artifice from the men and allows a fuller picture to form of them—and of America, at its best and worst. After the critically acclaimed teleplay aired in 1954, this landmark American drama went on to become a cinematic masterpiece in 1957 starring Henry Fonda, for which Rose wrote the adaptation. More recently, Twelve Angry Men had a successful, and award-winning, run on Broadway.
