I pray for a fair and just verdict. My support and thoughts go out to the Zimmerman family and the defense team as we wait.

Wow! I was born in SoCal. What a week to find this out.

Bruce at WFTV:
Don’t know if they will deliberate tomorrow, we’ve heard the judge might leave that up to the jury. The jury is in deliberations right now.
Had a question sent out by bailiff.
“Its sad that Freeper males are acting just like DUers describe them.”
After years and years of being married, I just ignore males that say stuff that I don’t agree with...lol. It comes naturally to me now.
Sorry. The twitter comment was meant as a joke. Obviously, it’s way too long to be condensed to a few words. I should have put up a smiley face or something to indicate it was humor.
I've noted their backgrounds and some of them have jobs that requires a good deal of intellect. They are solid women. You can bet the one married to an attorney is making sure the details are covered, plus she has a responsible job herself as I recall. I think one or two are married to engineers and they would have to be a good detail person to be successfully married to an engineer, plus they have solid jobs. I'm writing this out of recall from briefly seeing their backgrounds, but I was impressed at the time. Also, except for one, they are white. Instead of seeing Trayvon as a sweet baby, they may see him as a black man in a hoodie at night walking their neighborhood. I don't know how they are going about this, but I think it will be properly done in detail and they deserve respect for their efforts.
Amen to your prayers Please stand with mine
Couldn’t sleep last night. Have been standing watch and praying since then
Just having fun with all these people insisting on a quote every time. Figured you’d know it was all in fun.
Unfortunately, there are many women that live in fear of thugs like Trayvon, yet, there they are out protesting for justice for Trayvon.
Check out the storms headed to Sanford right now:

On another site I was talking about shopping at Trader Joe’s around 40 years.
For some people, Trader Joe’s is a new entity.
“Just having fun with all these people insisting on a quote every time. Figured youd know it was all in fun.”
I do know that it’s all in fun. And even on the rare occasion when it isn’t meant as ‘all in fun’....
I choose to take it that way anyway. I’m just stubborn that way!
I think his closing was brilliant and that he holds the advantage over all of us, because he knows the jury, in that hes seen their reactions to evidence and the lawyers every day.
Well stated. He selected them , and has had the first hand view of their attention/reactions each and every day.
Also, i think he knew it would come down to emotion vs fact, and scripted his close the way he wanted it to appeal to them in the best way possible.

Re: women jurors
Good post. I didn’t know any of that. There has been some discussion about Why 6 women? I was surprised myself but trust MOM & West in their choices. They were happy with the final group. It is just I have never known 6 women in a room who could agree on Anything!
Today? Or yesterday’s request for the evidence list?
Delayed response here, got caught in the earlier posting problems.
The jury runs the show. It’s up to them to come to the judge and say “we’ll can’t agree”. Until then, they set their own schedule (within reason), and can talk until Sanford freezes over.
If they do return, usually the judge will read them an instruction that says, “try harder” and send them out again. If they come back and say, “No, see... we really can’t agree”, the judge will excuse them and declare a mistrial.
Anaheim! I was born in Santa Ana. What a small world.
“I suspect the airhead males we have on this thread are not aware OMara selected women who own guns or have a husband or family member with a gun. One has a conceal carry.”
Thanks, Bunny. I also heard/read that on a TV station. They showed a chart with that information. I felt good about their knowledge of weapons.
