Let me ask you guys this: six women? An all-woman jury? Nobody sees a problem with this? All the prosecution has to do is put up some pictures of Trayvon as a baby wearing footy pajamas and Zimmerman will fry. Furthermore, most men understand the nature of physical confrontation in situations like these. Women most often don’t. Whatever happens, I’m not expecting a sane, logical process.

I'm not sure that an all-woman jury is a bad thing, given the circumstances of the attack. Think about it: Zimmerman was overpowered and forced to the ground, ending up flat on his back - with his assailant on top of him, continuing to press the attack.

That seems like a scenario that women would tend to fear.

This is purely political - the leftwing racebaiters pushing their agenda! This report 9at the link) is an excellent summary of what and why this is happening. Truly CW2!!!

Excerpt:
The Facts: Normally, the prosecution is the natural ally of the police. Using their investigation — the facts — prosecutors are able to establish all of the elements of the offense and win a conviction. In the Zimmerman case, the prosecution must ignore, try to explain away, or try to construct reasonable doubt about the case of the police — a bizarre state of affairs.

The Sanford Police Department conducted an unbiased and competent investigation, and the local prosecutor, Norm Wolfinger, declined to press charges because all of the evidence supported Zimmerman’s self-defense claim under Florida law, and none contradicted it. Prosecutor investigator Dale Gilbreath admitted this on April 20, 2012.

However, that investigation and its results did not fit the narrative, and so Corey was tasked not with doing justice, but with charging and convicting Zimmerman regardless of the evidence. Corey’s office has never produced the slightest evidence proving that the Sanford Police failed in their duty or exhibited racial bias.

That being the case, what are the grounds for charging Zimmerman with any crime?

The fact that they only turned over about 5% of the information on Trayvon’s phone and tried to delete most of it is a crime, not just failure to hand over information. The excuse that he had pictures of underage girls on it isn’t enough to refuse to hand over images that include pictures of items he probably stole.

There are none.

Maybe Sharpton will be nice, and buy each of us an ice tea, and a package of “Skillets”

: )
