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.
Also note that going on the internet to research this case was considered criterion for being sent home, but listening to tv or radio or reading the Orlando Sentinel was not — pjE81 being case in point. She said that what she knew came from the OS and TV and only read AOL for her emails and some news. So then OS and TV are not prejudicial but internet is????
As I look over the list of 29 and having listened to the interviews I see perhaps 10 who could render a fair judgment and aren’t lying — 10 who shall not be named for obvious reasons — but we can expect those 10 to be stricken by the prosecution — leaving the worst kind of jury — a jury of those who didn’t care enough to learn about this case and may or will carry that attitude over into the jury box.
