Did ABC News Deceptively Edit Zimmerman Juror’s Controversial Interview?
The Blaze ^ | Jul. 26, 2013 | Jason Howerton

Posted on 07/26/2013 3:57:58 PM PDT by Ben Mugged

ABC News is being accused of deceptively editing, or at least misrepresenting (intentionally or not), some of the comments made by Juror B29, the lone “nonwhite” juror in the George Zimmerman murder trial. Further, the media as a whole are being accused of manipulating some of her statements.

These allegations come not from a conservative news source, but rather from Slate.com.

The key phrase latched onto by most media outlets, due to its sensational nature, was “George Zimmerman got away with murder” — words that were, in fact, said by Juror B29. But the full unedited video of the comment, in context, tells a different story, claims Slate’s William Saletan.

Did he catch you with the can of tuna? Is that why you shot the clerk?

Those journalists should be taken out and hanged. Slowly.

And look at the picture of Martin in the background!

They’re still going with the light hoodie on a 14 year old Trayvon before he became a punk burglar pothead with gold grills on a rainy night in a dark hoodie!

Disgusting!

This is so much Bee Ess.

It’s obvious to me that either the juror discovered the fact that she was not popular anymore b/c of how she voted or that she wanted to be likeable on TV.

Screw her.

It's complete mish/mash BS! You have to either be filled with racism, bigotry, or idiocy to make a statement suggesting the evidence showed GZ was guilty. There wasn't a SHRED of evidence to convict GZ, furthermore, the evidence showed the OPPOSITE of what the prosecutor intended it to show.

There is no question GZ HAD to defend himself. That's what the evidence showed.

J-B29 is filled probably with all of what I stated regardless of the selective editing from ABC scum.

Here’s the Slate article:

Did George Zimmerman Get Away With Murder?

The media are reporting that a juror says Zimmerman is guilty of murder. That’s not true.

as lame as the LSM is these days, I am amazed that when someone grants them an interview that they don’t request a duplicate be handed to them the instant the interview is finished. Prevents editing.

And just as bothersome is this:

Update: B-29 Attorney: David M Chico –

Chico was the prosecutor in the 2005 case against Zimmerman

http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2013/07/26/b-29-attorney-david-m-chico/

What an amazing coincidence that Chico and the Juror hooked up.

Those conjugal visits must have been full of a lot of whispers.

One of these days, people will clue into the fact that they need to insist on having final edit approval, when talking to what passes for reporters nowadays.

Wonder how much she got paid, and why her “lawyer” didn’t warn her? snicker

The reason "leading questions" are not allowed at trial is because "leading questions" lead to misleading answers. Of which, this is an example.

I only saw a short portion on the local news cast. I thought they made her look stupid.

I think the MSM want a race war because the visuals would be great for ratings.

It’s starting to look more and more like the toads in Barry’s state-controlled “media” are trying to jump start some race riots in hopes of improving their ratings.

That, and to take away attention from Barry's "phony scandals" and his other failures, like Obamacare and the economy. Its a twofer for the media.

Naturally, the lie (the edited version) will be what is remembered and quoted for the next hundred years or until George Zimmerman is assassinated, whichever comes first. My money is on the latter...
