If the verdict comes in quickly, then it will probably be a conviction.
I think that if they were going to acquit, they would want it to appear that they were arguing and agonizing over it a great deal. For many, many days.

The OJ jurors didn’t worry about what people thought.
If they are to acquit, they should be very angry with the prosecution and the judge.
In terms of fearing riots or for their own safety, my own thought would be, come out of the chute really fast, then let it be known that this case was clear, and ridiculous to have been brought given the supporting evidence for Z’s account of self defense.
The agonizing long-and-hard part lends credence to the state that it doesn’t deserve and the facts and law don’t back up.
I can imagine telling the public that they would not dream of sending Z to jail for decades to serve for something that was self defense.
Because Trayvon Martin is no longer living, their duty was to give the defendant a fair trial and do justice by him. TM is no longer here to be the center of their concerns for justice. Instead, they have to take care not to send an innocent man away for most of his life, and that’s what they did.
I'm with you on that. I haven't been paying attention to the Bio information on the jurors, so I'm hoping there's some good news i don't know. Last night i read that, based on behavioral cues, it looks as if at least 2 of them had already made up their minds.
To all: i found out an old friend from high school (now on facebook) lives near the courthouse. She said the locals are absolutely livid that their town and state has been invaded by people who are promoting race riots. She's also worried and scared about what may happen. Will post more if there's any significant news.
No one is answering George's cries for help but they are confirmed. Tray is bashing George's head confirmed by witness.
George manages to get his gun and fires blindly.
Tray sits up then tumbles to the ground. George says he is still talking, didn't know he really hit him and tries to restrain him.
How George really escaped death was by the hand of God. I have no doubt. But I can say "Thank God"
This is all about the right to bear arms and defend oneself...Self Defense!!
It was forty Seconds of Hell for George!! George was the designated hitter for you and me.

I have a different take on it. A quick verdict could go either way, but given the strength of the state's case (or complete lack thereof) it favors an outright acquittal over a conviction. The longer the deliberations go on, however, the more likely that a 'compromise' verdict of manslaughter will be reached...
