In Twelve Angry Men, there are many examples of prejudice. Specifically in the beginning of Act One, almost all the jurors, with the exception of 8, believe the boy is guilty. However, when asked for an explanation as to why they think he's guilty, they can come up with no reason. For example, when asked why he believed the defendant was guilty he simply replied with,"Oh. Well... I just think he's guilty. I thought it was obvious"(Rose 17). He has no reason to proclaim the defendant's guilt if he has no actual reasoning in the first place.
