The video shows Angela Corey’s face as E81 tells the prosecutor that she feels that she will walk out of court with a target on her back. Corey sits there emotionless as a potential juror testifies to juror intimidation and she is not moved in any way.

BDLR: Tell me about this Phillip file?

This post by kanawa at comments section of Legal Insurrection is relevant here:

“Some Jury Selection Reality: I tried high-stakes civil jury cases around the country for 42 years. Through those decades of jury selection I learned a fact that is extremely politically incorrect.

“That fact is: Potential jurors who are liberal frequently have an agenda and lie to get on juries when they believe they can strike a blow in favor of their agenda. When, during voir dire, it is clear that such jurors likely have a bias they usually deny that they have a bias and swear, falsely, that they can treat both sides equally, and that neither party starts out with any advantage in their mind. That frequently results in them not being struck for cause.

“On the other hand, potential jurors who are conservative and who may have a bias that could impact their view of the case will admit their bias and will admit that they are not absolutely certain that they can overcome that bias, which results in them being struck for cause.

“The result of all of this is that the liberal potential jurors with a bias, but who deny it, can be removed only by use of limited peremptory challenges, and the ability to do that is itself limited in the situation in which such jurors are members of some protected demographic group.

“On the other hand, the conservative jurors are struck for cause. The overall result is that more liberals than conservatives are on juries.”

I never understood how this became a racial cause celebre. Zimmerman is hispanic, so the media declared that he is a “white hispanic” so they could set up that false narrative of white racist kills innocent black boy.

If not for the bias of the media and their pushing this case, none of this would be happening. The initial police conclusion of self defense would have been the end of this. Instead, certain liberal race baiters decided to push the case, push for a special prosecutor to indict Zimmerman, etc.

And, if Zimmerman is found not guilty, or hung jury, the liberal outrage could result in a rerun of the Rodney King riots. To them, such a verdict would mean that American justice is racist and bigoted. The facts of this case don’t matter to the liberals. All that matters is scoring their debate points on MSNBC.

When it first broke, I think that because of his name, they thought Zimmerman was Jewish and White.

This poor potential juror, sounds like a kid, is so hesitant, can’t speak a coherent sentence... every once in a while he makes sense. But I am almost afraid he might burst into tears. I hope it’s just nervousness.

Sounds to me like you understand media bias perfectly.

Aren’t there any elderly people down there in Floriduh that can pass muster or has Obamacare already taken care of them.

No elderly men black or white on this panel thus far in a state that is full of them.

Very strange. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Seems like they narrowed their juror search based on certain parameters benefiting the state, (I.E., middle aged women, African Americans, and people from blue states relatively new to Florida.)
