B-51 is retired, not married and doesn't have kids. She has lived in Seminole County for nine years. She has worked in real estate and run a call center where she said she had experience resolving conflicts. When asked if Zimmerman did something wrong by following Martin instead of waiting for police, she said: "Yeah, I guess he did do something wrong."

B-29 recently moved to central Florida from Chicago. She enjoys watching the "Real Housewives" on television and works as a nurse on an Alzheimer's section of a nursing home. She said she hadn't paid much attention to the shooting. She said she has been arrested, but her case was disposed of. It's not clear why she was arrested or exactly what happened to her case, though she said she was treated fairly. She is married and has several children. A prosecutor described her as "black or Hispanic" during jury selection.

I have even more doubts about the one who said she hadn’t heard of the case.

A few possibilities:

1. She’s a liar

or

2. She’s absolutely the epitome of the low info voter.

So, would you rather have your life in the hands of a liar or a doofus?

You have to absolutely know this would’ve happened.

A fundamental problem with such reasoning is that jurors have no way of knowing what sort of information is being capriciously withheld by the judge, supposedly on the grounds that it's "irrelevant", but actually on the grounds that it's very relevant but contradicts the approved message.
