Outside the courtroom, the thing that bothers me most is the pressies have almost unanimously set this us as an acquittal means the jury got it wrong.

They have put jurors and their families lives in even more danger.

Yep — guilty was supposed to be such a slam dunk according to the media that a not guilty verdict will now be portrayed as a surprise.

IMO, it is rare cases when one can tell what a jury is going to do. We have the advantage of knowing things which they are not supposed to know. We do not know their internal biases. We don’t know how they will interact...who is dominate who is a follower. What we do know is their is one dead person and one whose entire future existance lays in the balance. Frankly I actually believe the tradmark mom probably believes St Trayvon was a good lad...who has not heard that argument from a mother confronted by soneone complaining about their kids (my boy would never do that for example).

From my perspective, GZ is getting the dirty end of the stick with this show trial but that no way influences what the jury will decide. Obviously the judge wants him convicted, she has to live with that. The whole fiasco began with the state taking the case away from Sanford and assigning a “pro enforcement anti gun and SYG law” attorney. That began the dominos and we are all held captive to that decision. Even if GZ is found NG, there is no justice here.
