In this study, we argue that processes of self and hetero epistemic and practical vigilance moderate the emergence and evaluation of the strength of the connection between antecedent actions and consequent states of antefactual abductive hypotheses mobilized in the context of plans of intentional action toward the optimal achievement of goals. So, we mobilize the concepts of goal-conciliation (RAUEN, 2013, 2014), relevance (SPERBER; WILSON, 1986, 1995) and epistemic vigilance (SPERBER et al., 2010), propose the concept of practical vigilance, and analyze collaborative negotiation processes for the elaboration of a verdict of alleged parricide in the movie “Twelve Angry Men”. The analysis indicates that, according to the judge’s instructions, both, constrictions of achieving unanimity and absence of reasonable doubt, respectively exercise practical and epistemic vigilance on the jury. Because of these constrictions, convictions about the defendant’s guilt are progressively undermined by doubts such that the potential guilty verdict converts in a not-guilty verdict. Since the film provides no evidence of the defendant’s innocence, jurors may well be mistaken from the epistemic point of view; but, since there are reasonable doubts about the culpability of the defendant, they are correct from the practical point of view, considering the vigilance of the rules of the American Legal System.
