Juror 10

Juror 10 There are two main characteristics of the 10th juror that influence his verdict. The first is that juror 10 is prejudiced against the defendant (most likely he is racist, but we can not be 100% sure). The second is that he is uncaring and impatient. The first time we get a glimpse of juror 10’s prejudice is on page 7 when he says “It’s the element. I’m telling you they let those kids run wild …showed first 75 words of 501 total…

…showed last 75 words of 501 total…to reach a consensus and go home: “Yes, I think he’s guilty. But I couldn’t care less. You smart bastards do whatever you want to do….‘Not guilty’. Do whatever you want.” Therefore it can be seen how Juror 10’s prejudice and impatience influence his verdict without considering the facts of the case. Juror 10 views the defendant as a lying piece of trash and does not take his place in the jury seriously.
