The Obiter Dictum Review

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_Angry_Men_(1957_film) 12 Angry Men  is a 1957 American  courtroom drama film  directed by  Sidney Lumet , adapted from a 1954  teleplay of the same name  by  Reginald Rose . This  courtroom drama  tells the story of a  jury  of 12 men as they deliberate the conviction or acquittal of an 18-year old defendant on the basis of  reasonable doubt , forcing the jurors to question their morals and values. 12 Angry Men  explores many techniques of consensus-building and the difficulties encountered in the process among this group of men whose range of personalities adds to the intensity and conflict.

https://nccriminallaw.sog.unc.edu/holding-or-dicta/ Dictum is one of the commonest yet least discussed of legal concepts. Every lawyer thinks he knows what it means, yet few lawyers think much more about it. […] The traditional view is that a dictum is a statement in an opinion not necessary to the decision of the case. This means nothing. The only statement in an appellate opinion strictly necessary to the decision of the case is the order of the court. A quibble like this shows how useless the definition is. “Judicial dictum” is a statement the court expressly uses to guide parties in their future conduct.
