It depends on the make up of the jury.

” It depends on the make up of the jury. “

The judge could throw it out.

>>It depends on the make up of the jury.

Dershowitz is saying it will never make it to a jury. As much as I dislike his politics, he definitely knows his law both in theory and practice.

He’s seen the affidavit as is of the opinion no matter how bad Zimmerman could be made to look - taking the extreme - even if he provoked Martin [he said] there is nothing whatsoever there to support a murder 2 charge. He also intimated that it is not a ‘stand your ground’ situation - just simple self-defense.

Don’t remind me, my one and only experience with jury duty left me trembling in fear at the thought that I might be judged by such a group. There were three of us out of the twelve who had an understanding of what was going on, the rest may as well have been four years old. This was a civil suit, I shudder to think of such a group deciding a criminal case.
