Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Henry Fonda is recreating the testimony of the old man getting out of bed & walking down a hall, you can clearly see a shadow of the camera on the floor.

The last one to change his vote to Not Guilty is Juror 3 who breaks down and reveals personal prejudice against the accused because in the past he had a falling out with his son. The jurors leave the courthouse. Juror 8 and Juror 9 (the elderly man) reveal their names to be Davis and McArdle (respectively). They say goodbye to one another and go their separate ways.

Answer: If you're referring to the jurors, no. We see the entirety of their deliberations. If you're referring to the prosecution or defense, that is unknown. Given, however, that none of the jurors brought up the question, it's likely there was at least a check of his clothes to verify he had a hole in his pocket.
Given how easy it would be to simply tear a hole as an excuse, even if it was there, it wouldn't be much in the way of corroboration.
