Six women on a jury. So, 7 hours to talk about the attorneys’ suits, followed by 5 hours of bitching about their husbands, followed by another 12 hours of talking about how each minute of the closing arguments made them all feel. Finally, a test vote in which 5 vote not guilty, another one votes not guilty. Then, a clarification because the one guilty vote (a blonde) mistakenly thought they were voting on whether Trayvon Martin was guilty of punching Zimmerman, followed finally by reaching a verdict of not guilty.
Then, they all have a great big cry and talk about how awful that hotel shower water was on their hair.
“Out of concern that their Facebook friends will ostracize them”. Truer words were never spoken.

If I was a “white Hispanic”, I’d be stocking up on ammo just in case Holder’s people don’t get the verdict they want. Where the heck is La Raza anyway? Why aren’t they out there flapping their jaws about Zimmerman being treated like this?
O’Marra’s closing arguments were devastating to the prosecution. I still think Zimmerman will be completely exonerated. It will be a great day for criminals everywhere if he doesn’t though, that’s for sure.

Have you ever been in a jury? Was your experience similar to what you’ve just described?
“It’s not a “the jury”, it’s “six women”!”
The article makes both references. Not sure what you’re point is but in every similar report I’ve ever heard or read they always manage to emphasize the racial and gender makeup of the jury somewhere down the line. I presume so that the media can give credit or lay blame depending on the outcome of the verdict.
“Why aren’t they out there flapping their jaws about Zimmerman being treated like this?”
I’ve wondered this myself.
Of course, that idiotic jury for OJ didn't have men on it, right?
WhateverinHELL moved the defense team to accept 6 WOMEN for this jury? As any reasonable man knows, women operate almost exclusively on the basis of EMOTION!!
BOTTOM LINE? The Z-MAN is T O A S T!!!
That said, the poor guy will be safer in adseg than out in public. Unfortunately, the Florida prison administrators will put him in general population where he’ll either be shanked or forced to join Aryan Botherhood for protection.
No, but I’ve been around enough women to know how they work.
It’s not a “the jury”, it’s “six women”!
Maybe Zimmerman is Transgendered because the jury of his peers is all womens....
The judge sure looks it....
Just Sayin...
Maybe they should have said that trayvon commited a hate crime against diffrently gendered person....
Actually feeling nervous for Zimmerman! I can’t imagine what or how he’s feeling.
I hope at least one Juror won’t come off of Not Guilty and hangs it if nothing else.
Silver lining: if Zim is convicted, it’ll be easier to blame hormones.
I've been on a jury, none of the 7 women did anything that the poster you are replying to described, and I had to spend 3 hours changing all of their minds to convict a child molester they wanted to acquit because they thought the female victim was lying.
