Part1.1A

Prejudice does get in the way of the truth. It can cloud our minds of things that aren't necessarily true. Juror 3 is a good example of this, in the way that he believes that there is no point in discussing the case, since the defendant's guilt is plain, and he is quick to insult and browbeat anyone who suggests otherwise, just because the defendant is from the slums. People from the slums get a bad reputation from what juror 3 thinks, they are all drunks, always up to mischief and can't be trusted, leaving him with a guilty charge. Prejudice can get in the way of the truth if you aren't careful.
