Wait a minute! What are you trying to give us here? The phrase was, "I'm going to kill you," and the kid screamed it out at the top of his lungs. Don't tell me he didn't mean it. Anybody says a thing like that the way he did it, they mean it."

This quote, which the jury argues over, is discussed both in and out of the context of the fight the boy had with his father.  On the one hand, the jurors are asked to believe that if you say it, you will do it.  On the other hand, the jurors discuss the quote with the idea that we say many things we do not necessarily mean.
