1a-Haley H

In the Twelve Angry Men, many jurors let their predetermined thoughts decide the fate of the boy's fate. For example, one of Jurors 10's reason for voting guilty was because of the kid's background. Juror 10 would keep mentioning that the kid was no good, because of where he grew up. Juror 10 used his prejudice views to convince the rest of the jury that the boy was guilty. Juror 8, however, would not let the boy's history get in the way of deciding the boy's fate. Juror 8 did everything in his power to give the boy a fair trial, and wouldn't let the thoughts of anyone else get in the way. This play was a good example of how prejudice is very dominant in a court room.
