WhateverinHELL moved the defense team to accept 6 WOMEN for this jury? As any reasonable man knows, women operate almost exclusively on the basis of EMOTION!!
I resent that!
As a Woman who has been called an “ice queen” because I expressly don’t get all emotional over certain things.
But yeah in general that is an accurate asessment. I guess I am just an exception to the rule.
If the jury was six of my clones there would be no concern, but alas, it was probably chosen as an emotional ploy to convict zimmerman...
Hopefully they move for a mis-trial as thwe jury was most certainly NOT his peers.
I’ve been on 2 juries, both with men and women on them, and in both cases I came away very impressed with all my co-jurors. Everyone took their job very seriously and worked with each other to try to understand everything we had been told. In one case the defendent was clearly guilty of doing something wrong but the law book description of the two potential charges was unintelligible, and the only ‘explanation’ we were allowed was just a re-reading of the same crap, so we convicted her of the lesser charge. The other was simple - either the defendent was the armed robber on the security camera or he wasn’t, and either all the corroborating circumstantial evidence was just coincidence or he was guilty. He was guilty.
The only common theme with the two trials was the weakness of the judges, prosecutors and procedures and the strength of the defense attorneys and the jurors.
