Don't sell women short. My sister served on an aggravated sexual assault case. She has a face that told the defense she might spare the perp, and a face that told the prosecution that she just might string him up herself.
The defense lawyer was a complete jerk and passed around really embarrassing photos of the victim pretty much shoving them in the jury's faces. It made my sister so mad that when he got to her she glared right through him. He momentarily lost his train of thought but he knew he had crossed the line.
In the jury room she and two others, one other woman and a man, carefully persuaded the rest to find the guy guilty and that he deserved the stiffest penalty, which was life in prison.
So, like I said, don't sell women short. Remember, the women who have been selected for Zimmerman's trial had to pass his lawyer's muster.
They say second marriages are a triumph of hope over experiences. Second divorces are therefore the triumph of experience over hope.
I hope you are right re: female jurors. I further hope I am wrong.
I hope his lawyer knows what he is doing. He has a good reputation. Let us hope he is not trying to set up an appeal as a primary goal (though he should consider it as a secondary objective).
