I was stunned and frankly in disbelief to find out: 1. Only six on the jury, and 2. All women.

My wife and I went “what the hell?”

A jury of your peers all women in a man to man fight with a self defense issue. It’s just crazy.

If it were twelve with a mixed of men and women I would be very confident, but a little worried at the moment.

My hope is that the writer of this article missed another good theory which was my first thought.
They wanted to appear to have axhaustively deliberated, but ALSO deflate the news media (just a little) and mitigate the riots by doing it on a weekend morning. My understanding was that they would be back early today to continue deliberations.

one of them is married to an attorney.

I think she is the one that said the protests were riots.

I suspect she would know some about Martin’s background.

And, maybe, just maybe, they want to stretch this thing out until Monday to get past the weekend.

My thoughts were much the same : / I pray that these women will recognize the desperate actions of the prosecution, and come to their verdict through reason, rather than fear and emotion.

Dear Lord, please, guide and strengthen us.

I’m not sure about that. Now-adays it seems most men are so passive and weak that the average woman is more masculine.

I don’t understand why only 6 jurors can make this decision if it COULD lead to GZ spending the rest of his life in prison.

That should be 12 in the jury, IMO.
