The first is that juror 10 is evild against the defendant (most likely he is racist, but we can non be 100% sure). The second is that he is degage and impatient.The first time we undertake a glimpse of juror 10s prejudice is on page 7 when he judges Its the element. Im telling you they let those kids run antic up there. Well, maybe it serves them right. He believes that anyone coming from a poor resemblance is less than human. We can see right from the start that the verdict that the defendant is undoubtedly guilty is locked in his mind simply because he has a personal grudge against race like the defendant. Next, on page 10 and 14, he states You cant believe a word they say and The kids who crawl outa those places are real trash. distinctly it can be seen that he has a certain unfounded prejudice towards the defendant, viewing him as a liar and a piece of trash, with no supporting ev idence.
