Many times, being prejudice gets in the way of the truth. For instance, in the Twelve Angry Men, eleven out of the twelve jurors believe the boy is guilty. They judged him for living in a run-down neighborhood and his previous encounters with the law. Their prejudiced opinion didn't let them think about what actually happened during the crime. The likelihood of the boy committing the crime clouded their judgement and altered their decisions.

I agree with you Jacey. Juror #3 was very prejudice for what the defendant had done in the past and of where he lived. Because he was prejudice, it clouded Juror #3's decision and also his actions towards other jurors. In the play, he threatens to kill juror #8 just because of their different decision.
