Zimmerman’s jury is 100 percent women and 0 percent African-American.
This jury needed at least one African-American jury member, and one male. The selected panel can certainly be “impartial,” but because previous racially charged trials focused on the jury, the Zimmerman trial attorneys should have been aware of how the make-up could impact responses outside of the courtroom and, potentially, to the safety of the jurors.
The George Zimmerman prosecution and defense teams should have considered the potential for such a response in this case, because race was at issue from the outset.
This case should not be about race, but the attorneys’ failure to pick a more diverse group of six people is certain to reignite the issue, especially if the 100 percent all-female/non-African-American jury finds Mr. Zimmerman not guilty.

She needs to hold it until a snowfall!
That comment insults a goodly percentage of FReepers.
O’Mara commented to Nelson on this and she basically said it was the luck of the draw.
Blacks lied to try to get on the jury; O’Mara busted them and the prosecution cold. He also busted the prosecution for trying to get rid of jurors because they’re white:

I’ll take People Who Don’t Friggin’ Get It for $600, Alex. When criminal justice becomes more concerned about how the public will react than about guilt or innocence, we’re waaaaaaaayyy down the wrong track.
“Simple answer to the unspoken question: every single black person they interviewed for jury duty was incapable of being impartial.”
How would you like to be the black juror that votes to acquit? They would be hounded for decades and may need witness protection.
I think Zim is going to get railed on this considering that the women may vote to convict simply to prevent murders and rioting.
Any Hispanic jurors?
One
"They" are morons, knaves, or both. Nobody can say if the voice heard in the background of that 911 call was Trayvon Martin or George Zimmerman by listening to the tape. This was proven in court by the testimony of a defense witness who demonstrated that the methods of the states so-called experts was absurdly flawed. One of them attempted to pass of an 8-bit file padded with zeros as a 16bit file and even emphasized how important it was to his ability to determine that it was Martin on the tape that the data was 16 bits. Moron, as I said.
The testimony of these two jokers in court would be in fact condoning a fraud upon the court. This judge may not mind being called biased, but she won't like being labelled a moron by the appeals court.
The jury makeup will be discussed and criticized by hand-wringers forever... ONLY when Zimmerman is found not guilty. If he is found guilty, then all is well. No problem with such a fine jury of smart, upstanding womyn.
This is by Tamara Holder (Eric Holder’s white daughter). She is another brainless liberal/Marxist twit on FNC to keep it “fair and balanced.” She’s the ugly one with the outsized bra (unlike Kirsten Powrers who is the good-looking one with the bust size that out does her brain cells as well).
Knowing the proclivity of the MSM for focusing on the really, really important things, we'll hear about their makeup, their shoes, their hair, their clothes...
But darned little about the concept of self-defense, nor the Right to defend one's self.
I’ve been stocking-up ammo/food/water since 9-12-2001. And I’m nowhere close to Sanford, FL.
Probably a good thing for Zimmerman. Women fear hooded thugs more than most men.
Wasn’t the OJ trial 100% africian american?
If they are intelligent FReepers, they'll agree (yes, even the women.)
I do not know, most appeals are based on technicalities.
Still trying to figure out why he was even charged (ok I know is PR and race baiting) but when did we stop being a sane or mostly sane world?
So I guess someone who calls himself ‘dude’ and thinks he’s superior to 50% of the population is someone we should all agree with? LOL
WHY???
Zimmerman's not black, why should blacks be sitting in judgment?
This attitude of the State of Florida about this trial - the it's supposed to deliver something for or to Trayvon Martin is disgusting.
George Zimmerman is the defendant. The State must prove that he is guilty of all of the elements of murder two BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT.
Those are the only two actors in the courtroom. Trayvon Martin has nothing at all to do with it, except for obligingly being dead.
