In Act I, 10th Juror makes a particularly racist argument against the defendant, saying that “they’re born liars.” He goes onto note the boy’s slum background as evidence for his being “trash.”

In Act II, the jurors take another vote, which comes in at nine to three, all but 3rd, 4th, and 10th Juror are in favor of ‘not guilty.’ Afterward, 10th Juror launches into massive bigoted rant, which ends with 4th Juror scolding him back into his seat.
