Part 1~1A

In the play, prejudice does get in the way of the truth. Juror #3 proves this for us. He judges the defendant by his background, and also, where he lives. Juror #3 even gets so angry because he is prejudice, that he threatens to "kill" juror #8. His mind is clouded and gets in the way of the actual truth. He is proven wrong multiple times but he is still close minded because of what he thinks of the defendant.
