Bias In Reginald Rose's 12 Angry Men
According to Martha Beck, “Good-looking individuals are treated better than homely ones in virtually every social situation, from dating to trial by jury”
This can be seen in Reginald Rose’s drama when the majority of the jury voted the accused guilty, without even thoroughly examining the evidence.
As the play opens we learn the accused is facing a murder charge, after allegedly stabbing his father in the chest with a knife. The accused is from a rough part of town, and lives in an apartment complex.
In Reginald Rose’s 12 Angry Men, the jury shows extreme bias, basing claims off of little to no evidence.
The jury makes assumptions about the accused’s character, which shows bias. The jury was discussing the accused’s past, what he may have
