I have been on several juries. Never underestimate the stupidity of the average American.
There is that... After all, look at OJ.
For around four months, maybe 20 years ago, I had nothing to do but wait. I watched a lot of “Court TV”.
I am not sure of the right word. Maybe it is shocked but whatever I decided I never want to go before an American jury, at least if I am innocent.

Dont forget that the judge disallowed any reference to MMA, fighting ,or hangun on Trayvons cellphone to establish background character.
But the judge did allow former calls to police by Zimmerman ,establishing character background.
The jury doesn’t have all the information that we have; some information was selectively edited out by the judge.
The jury’s decision will be based on what information that they hear, and not all the known information that we have access to.
