Prejudice was a problem for the jurors multiple times during the deliberation. However, the point where it was most troublesome was with juror 10. Because of his prejudice towards others he becomes one of the three hold outs left in the deliberation. It becomes so bad that the other jurors ignore his statements because of how biased they are. This is one of the examples throughout the play of how prejudice can cloud judgement and harm others.
I agree with you about your view of the peak of the story's bias! I would also add in the fact that, while it was not as focused as juror 10's bias, juror 3 was biased throughout the whole play and never really came away from that.
