In the film, 'Twelve Angry Men,' the accused's alibi for his whereabouts at the time of the murder was that he was at a movie theater, watching a double feature. Belief in his alibi was challenged when he could not remember the name of either of the films.

The defendant was never shown; the focus was on the 12 man jury who had to determine his guilt or innocence. The whole movie was shot in the jury room and its adjacent bathroom.

No, he's shown in the very beginning, when the jury is given their instructions.  You see him just after they leave the courtroom.
