10. Conclusion • Juror 10 is the one who easily antagonized by the rest of the jury. • He always segregate the world into “us” and “them” categories. His intelligence is slave to his bitter prejudice. • From him the audience could find another side of justice system where prejudice is also present in it and form the cloud which hidden the facts and fairness of the trail.
