Wow, I am really saddened to see this kind of sexism here. As a conservative woman, I expected more. Tell me how having 6 men gives him a better chance at being found not guilty?
Glad your are a lot more optimistic than most Freepers. What makes you so positive about this?
Conservative women are a distinct minority of the overall population of women. By extension, a jury comprised entirely of women is more likely to lean left politically, hence the assumption that Zimmerman is toast.
6 men with CCW permits would do it.

You're new here, aren't you.
Sorry you are disappointed, and yes, some of us are sexist under certain circumstances, including me.
Fact is, women tend to attenuate punishment for younger instigating offenders.
Totally agree, as another conservative woman.
Picking a jury is a bit like picking what card to play…it’s all about exercising your memory on what has gone on before, using some gut instinct and playing what you think the odds are. It would appear that those who have commented see it one way as far playing the odds….you are seeing it another way. Nothing unusual with that…. everyone sees the odds in game of cards a bit differently. Tell me…. Let’s say you were charged like Zimmerman and you could pick your own jury by walking down the street and select random people (people who are not your friends/associates but also not people who are at the exit of the Oprah show or the The View). Do you think that the odds of winning are more in your favour with 6 random women? If so, why?
Your anti-male bloviating is duly noted. Women are well known to be more liberal than men, did you sleep through the last 50 years?
Any poll has women not being supportive of the Second Amendment. Not as supportive as men. Women till towards a willingness to be dependent on the police to ensure their safety instead of arming themselves
with what i know to date george would walk. the first i heard of this was a black teen eatting skittles was shot dead in his fathers sub division by a Jew (zimmerman). i was horrified until i began to really follow the case. i just dont think the guy on top would be screaming help help. but the prosecutor doesnt want common sense to get in the way.
i pray my CWP gets here before the verdict.
I love women but using PC terms here that end in ISM
Will raise flags.....at least you didn’t say misogyny
Generalizing about women is no less or more awful than generalizing about men
I think race matters more than sex in this case though I do think men are less emotive....indeed
Or at least in my generation....55
