Quote #7
JUROR #3: What is this? Love Your Underprivileged Brother Week?
When he realizes that the room is turning against him, Juror #3 decides that the rest of the men are weak for letting their versions of reality be swayed so easily. He accuses them of being a bunch of bleeding hearts who don't have the guts to do what is right. But by the end of the movie, he's the one who's bawling his eyes out over his lost son.
Quote #8
JUROR #10: Well, don't you know about them? There's a… there's a danger here.
Even after most of the jury members have changed their minds, Juror #10 continues to insist that they should convict the defendant because he's a dangerous person of color. It's not until the entire room (literally) turns on him (even the people who agree with his verdict) that he finally shuts up and stops talking.
Quote #9
JUROR #9: No. He wouldn't really lie. But perhaps he made himself believe he heard those words and recognized the boy's face.
Out of all the jurors, Juror #9 seems to be the most open to the idea of different people seeing reality in different ways. For example, he thinks that the old man who apparently witnessed the defendant running from the crime scene might have just imagined he saw the boy's face and then, later on, convinced himself that he was right. It just goes to show how our minds can often warp what we think is real.
