Dang. I shouldn’t but, LOL.
>> I also think George came within a whisker of falling prey to an emotional jury
But there’s no real evidence of that.
I prefer to think that ONE srong (probably Christian) woman who can think and who knows right from wrong on that jury would NEVER be swayed in a case where there’s zero evidence — and would, in fact, turn the others eventually through her persistence.
Hung jury would have been the worst that could happen.
YMMV
Give it a rest on the gender crap. In the end, they all got it right, and that is what matters.
B-37 is now crying and admitted that they cried in the jury room.
They had no idea how BIG this was ..
She wants people to know how much they put into it. .how hard it was. .
Toobin’s an idiot.
“That actually could be problematic.”
You can bet they’ll TRY to make an issue of it.
Who knows what has been edited, it did not appear to be, and there was no follow up question as to whether or not that was a consideration in her decision.
Agree but he did say that he couldn’t disagree with her...
Juror B-37, per Cooper, says that initially 3 wanted not guilty, 2 manslaughter, and 1juruor for Murder 2.
“we never knew all the press this was getting. We thought is was a murder trial.”
Exactly right.
Sorry, it is just stupid talking heads now.
I think they really wanted GZ to pay in some way, even though he was 100% innocent.
And BTW. GZ is paying.
He has been in jail for 16 months, he is in hiding, his life is upside down.
He has payed far to much already.
from what GZ said it wasn’t so much the attack as that he thought Martin was going for the gun. that was the real linchpin. If Martin had just got up and walked away or even just kept punching him he may not have shot him. it was when he said “you’re gonna die tonight” and coupled that with going for the gun that led to the shooting.
Had to turn it off when what’s his name came on to spin her responses. CNN continues to foment and stir the pot without regard to the facts or the threats of violence and riots.
Had they been given the evidence of Trayvon's criminal past, there would have been no tears.
I completely agree!!
Scary how stupid some smart people are, eh?
Exactly. A point that a lot of this country has either not heard or has chosen to ignore. It comes down to that very point and the fact that at that point GZ was in fear for his life. Period.
“whisker” indeed!
She and her husband the lawyer are writing book. His views from outside compared to hers behind scene. They do not plan on profiting personally
