Looking at the demographics of the jurors (hadnt seen that before) he’s doomed. All they have to do is remind them that Zimmerman “killed” Saint Skittles and that a mom lost her son that day and its over. Facts, logic, and reason don’t hold the same weight as emotion with most women.
Women married to engineers, self-employed businessmen like contractors, and lawyers don’t have the luxury of being able to fall back on emotions in decision-making. Betcha those women have had to use the scientific method and logical proofs in more than one domestic disagreement.
Don’t forget O’Mara and West went through the jury pool and CHOSE these women. There must have been a reason.
“Looking at the demographics of the jurors (hadnt seen that before) he’s doomed.”
You mean because they’re women? “Demographics” considers more than gender. What are their life experiences? What are their IQs? What do they and their husbands do for a living? I’m a woman, married to a Physicist, and no twerp selling a sad whiny story would make me throw the facts out the window.
You're wrong of course, but let's say you are right. All the women except one are white. Perhaps their “emotion” is saying, “I don't trust blacks these days and I wouldn't want a black man in a hoodie around my house - I don't blame Zim from protecting himself against this black man.”
I get so tired of this women ruled by emotion crap. Let me see - I treat my patients based on emotion rather than facts, logic and reason - nope. If women are more capable of expressing emotion (and some are) it makes no more difference to our decisions and thoughts than wearing a certain color that day. There are times to emote and times to logically reason and I think all women are capable of figuring that out.
