I’m leaning towards the latter. Personally, I think there is too much stock put into the emotionality of women sometimes. It becomes a cliche almost. Not to sound to preachy or esoteric but I think people have to keep in mind these are individuals with their own experiences so that should count for something I would think.

There are two types of human soul, the conscious ones, those who are aware of why they do things, and those who are unconscious of why they do things.

If there are two conscious souls on that jury the only two possible outcomes are acquittal or no verdict. Conscious souls are not herded by emotions when called upon to reason something out.

Unconscious souls on the other hand will succumb more often than not to emotion and not be able to find their way bby resoning things out.

The thing about emotion is that it can play many ways. For example, as a woman I can understand fully the loss of TM’s parents (regardless of their character). As a woman I can also look at GZ and see a completely innocent man. My emotional nature does not ruin my ability to see facts clearly. Too often conservative men dismiss emotion as weakness and that makes me cry. :-)

But long term trials tend to most only include government employees, people on the dole and welfare folks.

So, IMO you have lots of Obama Phone users making the call on this verdict.
