The story 12 angry men can be seen as an untold story because the 18 year old who was on trial had an open case for murder and was left to the jury to decide whether or not he was guilty. All of the jurors thought he was guilty as soon as they received the information without knowing the full extent of the situation the day of the murder. The 18 year old on trial has an untold story on his hands and the only one who thinks otherwise than the other jurors. This then brings upon his untold story and Davis telling his story that he couldn't have committed the murder under all of the circumstances .During the whole play Davis and a few other jurors help him plead his innocence along with telling his story. The entirety of the whole play would have otherwise not been told simply if all of the jurors had just went off of the surface evidence instead of them digging and asking questions about the evidence given. This trial could have sent the 18 year old to the chair meaning he would die for the alleged murder and if the jury was right in pleading him guilty then they would have done the right thing and if not then he would have been put to the chair without his story being told.
