Anyway, that's my best guess at the moment. I suppose some of them were rejected as being over 70, or having a child under the age of 3, or on some other statutory ground. But most of them were rejected because they viewed the case through more than just the media lens. Even E-81, who was pro-Zimmerman, claimed to not have gone on the internet.
O'Mara remarked that he thought it odd that the people interviewed had heard so little, and hadn't formed an opinion.
Why would he think it odd when that is exactly what Nelson did and essentially admitted to have done. And then to every pj he and Bernie sing the "red car/ blue car" song all the while knowing that anyone who admitted to having seen the red car are history.
I'd be willing to bet that those 85 sent home early were largely pro-Zimmerman because the 35 or so that came through were largely pro Martin or hiding their proMartin bias.
Isn't eliminating people over 65/70 age discrimination??? and yet that is what Nelson seems to have done.
If I'm Zimmerman on Monday morning when she asks if I'm pleased with how jury selection is going I say "NO". If she asks why, I say "I think it's obvious that the deck is being stacked against me". He needs to get that on the record as long as Nelson is playing her little game.
