The Jurors Go Around the Table, Explained：burden of proof
The jury takes its first vote and then goes around the table, one man at a time. Some want to convict without a reason, one cites the proof rule only after the holdout forces the issue, and a single dissenting vote keeps the room from ending it.
あらすじ
In the jury room, the men agree to explain themselves one by one around the table. A few argue from prejudice, others try to sound reasonable; one man insists the boy is guilty but cannot say why, and another reminds the room that the burden of proof rests with the prosecution. By the end of the round, most still vote guilty.

What's really going on
The scene is about the difference between a hunch and an argument. Asked to say why they believe the boy guilty, several jurors discover they have nothing but a feeling, and the man who first answers, "I just think he's guilty," speaks for most of the room. Against that, one juror restates the rule the trial turns on: "The burden of proof's on the prosecution." The other thread is prejudice, aired plainly when a juror says you can't believe "them," and turned back on him with "How come you believe the woman's?" The jury is not weighing evidence yet; it is discovering which of its members can give a reason and which are only certain.
Theme
JusticeA murder verdict is argued out loud, and the scene keeps returning to one legal rule: guilt must be proven, not assumed.
TrustThe jurors disagree about which witnesses to believe, and one man's willingness to trust the accused splits the room.

このシーンについての質問
Why do the jurors go around the table one by one?
They want to find out why one juror voted not guilty. Going in order forces each man to state a reason aloud instead of shouting over each other.
Why does the first juror struggle to give a reason?
He insists the boy is guilty but admits it is hard to put into words, which exposes the whole problem: many of them have no real argument, only a feeling.
What does "the burden of proof's on the prosecution" mean here?
It is the legal rule the holdout keeps returning to: the state must prove guilt, and the defendant does not have to prove innocence.
Why does one juror question the woman's testimony but not the boy's?
The question, "How come you believe the woman's?", turns the bigot's own reasoning back on him: he accepts one witness and rejects the other for no better reason than prejudice.
Who is the man doodling at the table?
He is an advertising man sketching a campaign line, Rice Pops' "breakfast with the built-in bounce," which shows how casually he is treating a murder trial.
