Prejudice gets in the way of the truth. Biases are strong and affects how people view a certain subject based on their personal experiences on what they have seen or heard. This can be seen with juror 3, and 10 especially. Juror ten brought his prejudice with him to the deliberation, calling the defendant one of "those people." Whatever he may be describing, it is obvious that he was relying on his past biases, and not paying attention to only the evidence. Because of this fact, his view on the case could have been offset and, had he not had his biases, his view on the case would most likely have been different earlier on.

I agree a lot of people come to conclusions based on looks, stories, and information from others. In this story many of the jurors are prejudice especially juror 10 when he constantly used racial slurs to get his useless points across. I feel that their is biased opinions and decisions in every court case because someone will always have different morals and ideas then others. This story is a great representation of how racism and biased opinions take place in the court and the federal system all together.
