Here are some examples of Juror 10's sarcasm:
* When Juror 8, played by Henry Fonda, suggests that the defendant may be innocent, Juror 10 says, "Oh, come on, Henry. You're not going to tell me you believe that."
* When Juror 3, played by Lee J. Cobb, presents evidence that supports the defendant's alibi, Juror 10 says, "That's some pretty flimsy evidence. I wouldn't bet my life on it."
* When Juror 11, played by George Voskovec, tries to appeal to the other jurors' emotions, Juror 10 says, "Oh, give me a break. You're just trying to manipulate us."
Juror 10's sarcasm created a hostile environment in the jury room, and it made it difficult for the other jurors to have a productive discussion about the case. His sarcasm also made it more difficult for the jury to reach a unanimous verdict, as he was constantly undermining their arguments.
