His father’s girlfriend’s son was at home

So?? didn't you ever hear about the Polish man that locked his keys in his car? He has to call the police to rescue his family.

agreed. E6 seems most promising though:

B29: Juror B29 is a Hispanic woman who works overnight at a nursing home. She lived in Chicago when the shooting happened and has several children.

B76: Juror B76 is a white, middle-aged woman who heard about case on the news. She called it a “great opportunity” to serve on jury and “wants a fair trial.”

B37: Juror B37 is a white woman in her 30s. She has three dogs, four cats and a parrot. She also works at a chiropractic office and doesn’t watch TV. She spends her time rescuing wildlife and said the trial is a state burden. She also thinks concealed weapons training is not adequate.

B51: Juror B51 is a white, middle-aged woman who is retired. She said she has an opinion and is not close minded. She said she remembers police saying Zimmerman should wait but didn’t. She said it’s “good to know we can consider bias.”

E6: Juror E6 is a white woman her mid-30’s. A preemptory challenge on her by the state was denied. She used to work in financial services, and said she doesn’t know enough of the facts to form an opinion.

E40: Juror E40 is a white, middle-aged woman who said she is a lawyer at heart. She also said she could steer jurors to only consider evidence set forth in court. You have a “responsibility if you bare arms,” she said.

No tension in Seminole County. What county are Holder’s people staying in?

Seminole County has always been a heavily Republican County. I know in 2008 92 of 96 Government officials were Rep. The non Rep officials were mostly from Sanford. But it seems some of these jurors have recently moved here from liberal strongholds like Chicago so I also, am concerned.

The Sheriff of that country should have been more pro-active in seeing that the mayor of Sanford did not prejudice the case by the sercretive acts he performed favoring one family and one perspective over any other. The disgust factor for Floriduh is growing exponentially.

Shouldn’t the jurors ALSO know what the potential prison sentences are for each of those verdict options?


Can’t they ask for direction from the judge once they have the instructions, and have deliberated , or even before that.

To not tell jurors the impact of their potential decisions is in my mind “ criminal” in and of itself.

Looks like I'll have to download the Twitter app onto my iPhone, activate it, and play me some violent videogames to get, "In the mood."
Far Cry 3 oughta do it. I LOVE that game.

Chief of Police (Smith?) up. Talking about previous insurgency of Holder’s people. All demands were met.

I hope B51 considers the whole Crump fiasco and the mayor’s private group listening.

Here's hoping they moved from places like Chicago just to get away from people like Trayvon.
