The trial is over, and the jury adjourns to deliberate. The foreman, Mr [[Sutcliffe (The Juror's Story)|Sutcliffe]], calls for a vote. One by one, the first eleven jurors, Sutcliffe, Mr [[Eastman (The Juror's Story)|Eastman]], Mr [[Asher (The Juror's Story)|Asher]], Mrs [[Martin (The Juror's Story)|Martin]], Miss [[Mills (The Juror's Story)|Mills]], Mr [[Hopkins (The Juror's Story)|Hopkins]], Miss [[Nichol (The Juror's Story)|Nichol]], Mr [[McKee (The Juror's Story)|McKee]], Mrs [[Preston (The Juror's Story)|Preston]], Mrs [[Taylor (The Juror's Story)|Taylor]], and Dr Harris, vote "guilty". The last man, however, [[Fifth Doctor|Dr Smith]], votes "not guilty". Dr Smith proceeds to explain his vote. He points out a piece of evidence mostly ignored by the others. The defendant shot the girl with a gun using [[silver]] bullets. Dr Harris is appalled to learn that Dr Smith is suggesting that the girl was a [[werewolf]] and that the killing was in self-defence. | The trial is over, and the jury adjourns to deliberate.
