He would have gotten one if he had not been stupid enough to attack a man with a gun

[rockabyebaby]

What an embarrassment. This idiot apparently doesn’t realize the thug is dead and he was not the one on trial. God help us.

[Iron Munro]

His peers are all dead.

[jughandle]

If this whole thing never happened, sooner or later he would have been tried by a jury of his peers.

[cymbeline]

jury of white women

Why didn’t the jury contain some blacks? Some men?

I suppose the prosecution approved of the jury’s members. Seems odd, though, that there were no blacks.

[cripplecreek]

When we have representatives who couldn’t pass a basic 6th grade civics test, we have serious problems.

[albie]

If he actually got his peers, they would be Tupak Shakur, Notorious BIG and other dead gangster rappers. That wouldn’t have worked out well at all.

[dfwgator]

Like this?

I’d call 911 of any of Travon’s “peers” were anywhere near my home.

Travon was a wannabe felon...and it was only a matter of time until he fulfilled his dream.

And - indeed - he could have been a young Obama.

Same lack of judgement, same stupidity.

[Boogieman]

Actually, the Rep and the caller were both wrong; neither is entitled to a jury of their “peers”. The Constitution simply entitles the defendant to an “impartial” jury, it says nothing about the makeup of the jury.

[VerySadAmerican]

Maybe this is the reason plantation owners didn’t want them to learn to read and write.

[SampleMan]

I don’t think six dead thugs would be very good jurors.

[knarf]

He WAS judged by a jury of his peers ... they were all Americans.

Now, if they want more .. or different .. move to another country.

[paint_your_wagon]

If at first you don’t succeed....keep on sucking till you do suck seed.

[MeshugeMikey]

A Jury Of TRAYVON'S PEERS would of necessity had to have included Trayvon Obama Senior and I dont think the POTUS can serve on a jury while in office can he?

Just more proof that law colleges do not require at least an average IQ nor do they graduate those knowledgeable of law. Liberal bigotry and bias is acceptable to law colleges.

[Darren McCarty]

At 23:30 he "stakes" his law degree

Probably didn't pass the bar exam.....

[Coyote Choir]

The real problem for a lot of people in our country nowadays, it would seem, is that the verdict came at the end of the trial and not at the beginning.

[Uncle Chip]

He got the next best thing —

[Little Ray]

If Martin had survived to be tried for the two counts of aggravated batter he racked up, I am sure he would have gotten a jury of his peers.
However, since Martin was not on trial, this isn’t relevant.
