Justin Kemp’s fate and the meaning of Juror #2’s ending explained
As mentioned above, the film focuses on Justin Kemp, who becomes a juror in the murder case of Kendall Carter with her boyfriend James Sythe as the prime suspect. However, things take a shocking turn when Justin is also revealed to be connected with the case.
Justin was present at the bar when Kendall and James were fighting. He was heavily drunk and ended up hitting something while driving his car. However, Justin thought that it must have been a deer, so he never took the accident seriously.
Kendall’s murder case triggered Justin’s memories who feels that he might have killed the man and not the deer. Thus, Justin decides to free himself from the case while trying to prove James’ innocence at the same time.
James is declared guilty in the case, but the attorney Faith Killbebrew begins suspecting Justin. Faith confronts Justin, who indirectly admits that he might have killed Kendall in the accident. However, he assures her that they both need to protect their loved ones and Faith might lose her position.
Later, Justin ends up selling his car with which he caused the accident and looks forward to a fresh start with his family. However, Faith knocks on his door leading to an ambiguous end. The climax leaves viewers with numerous questions.
Faith may have arrived to reopen the case to punish Justin and it is also unclear whether the latter really killed Kendall or not. A potential sequel to Juror #2 might solve this complicated mystery.
