Ah, Seminole County. Maybe there’s a way out of the quandry: empanel a jury all of whose members are Seminoles to get the white/black dynamic out of the matter.

Maybe, but Mr. Zimmerman, being half Peruvian, has a high percentage of native Indian blood (he physically appears more Indian than European, just sayin’) so the Seminoles may come off and say he’s not guilty at all. They’re more a jury of his peers than anyone else, and what could the two irreverends, Bogus Al and Shake’m down Jesse do about it, call the native americans racist? Ha!

A lot of Seminoles have African ancestry - there was a lot of mixing with runaway slaves, an African-Seminole alliance. And being Indian was better than being black, so some people of mixed black and white ancestry claimed to be Seminole.
