Today, June 14th is DAY #5 of the scheduled State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.
Continuing jury selection. Yesterday the Court continued its preliminary questioning of prospective jurors, moving through 10 candidates by the end of the day.
The biggest event of the day, however, occurred shortly after the lunch recess when Judge Nelson’s announced from the bench that she would be ordering the sequestration of the jury for the duration of the trial,.
She based this decision on the fact that both parties agreed the trial was likely to take two to four weeks, as opposed to the four to six weeks that many had anticipated.
It appeared that she had been inclined to sequester the jury if the sequestration period was not to be too long. With the agreement on the likely shorter duration of the trial, the balance swung in favor of sequestration.

Tony Pipitone:
Potential juror H-6, white male, 30s, TV viewer, no newspaper, does not know if it is “self-defense.”
Tony Pipitone:
H-6 second potential juror today to say media coverage at first slanted toward #TrayvonMartin, “now balanced out.”
Dana Chaaban @sheafferlegal
G87 likely dismissed due to her answers and the likelihood of being found out...Jurors must remember to not disclose too much #zimmermanon9
The State wants to get rid of this guy.
Busloads of people being dropped off at the makeshift memorial???
And now the drivers of those buses are sitting in the courtroom and trying to get on the jury.
H-6 would be a good juror for the defense.
Ssssshhhhhhh
Yeah really..
How do they come to an agreement on the jurors?
I think we have found our jury foreman...lol!

@renestutzman Curious - Honest Question: Would you ever tweet “a big black fella”? BTW Boiled Pnuts are great.
Tony Pipitone:
H-6 was quickly escorted out, indicating he made the cut, now they are just talking.
