I know its way late but here goes an effort to get some credit.
Mr. Davis or juror eight uses much logical and reasoning in the movie 8 Angry Gentleman. First he just ask a simple question whether the kid did kill his dad or not. When all the other jurors said they do believe that he kill him Davis was bent on making sure they went through every piece of the evidence. By constantly giving questions to the other jurors statement he was able to turn them slowly but surely. Davis' argument is effective in that he first had the same rare knife as the one used when there argument was that such a rare knife like that would be hard to come by. He also went through every detail such as contradicting the old man's statement of getting to the door as quickly as he did to witness the boy running down the stairs. Basically Davis wanted to make sure the boy was giving a fair trial.
