I pray for a fair and just verdict. My support and thoughts go out to the Zimmerman family and the defense team as we wait.

I saw that other post and I agree......the ocean would have only spit him out.
Since the State is charging someone with a violent crime, it is not inappropriate for the state attorneys to side with the “victim’s” family. In the State’s view, a crime has been committed. It would be odd for the prosecution NOT to side with the family.....that’s why they brought the charges....to get justice.
“Hate to say it, but in all reality Zimmerman is going to prison.”
All six jurors would have to believe, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that GZ intended to gun down TM and was not in fear of his own life while being beaten. I just don’t see that happening. If it does, we will know, finally, and for certain that we truly are in the “Twilight Zone”.
>>They’re female, they can’t be “hung”!
Sadly, these days, just about anything seems to be possible. But I don’t think any of these jurors swings that way, if you get my drift.
Same here. Now it seems fine for me.
Because her interest is supposed to be justice.
Thanks for the tip. I am going to try this next time I make meatloaf..
“Suspects at Sams.”
What color are they to be “suspects”. I see profiling here. :o)
I was on a criminal jury in a case of armed robbery. The case took two days to present, the judge was great in explaining the law (the State had to prove 4 things, IIRC), and we took all day the next day to reach a verdict.
About six of the 8 hours was spent going over evidence. The vote in the first 5 minutes was 10-2 “not guilty”, the last two hours we spent on the two who voted “guilty”.
This is a huge case with a lot of evidence. If each juror speaks to her take on all of the evidence (which they should), it may take a while.
OK, I can agree with your assessment. I’ve copped to being hyperbolic on this issue but, I haven’t seen a drawn-out discussion of the “Chicago style initimidation” aspect and how that impacts/influences Nelson.
Maybe I’m just coming in a little late on a Saturday morning?
Pax, bro!
Those who think this wait is unusual or proves anything, please revisit MN’s post 451 on this thread.
LOL!
Anyone watching HLN? What was that lady handing out to TM supporters?
I learned a long time ago not to try to predict juries.
But, I think if they were leaning towards manslaughter, the holdout would be “not-guilty” person....because it’s easier to leap from 2nd degree to manslaughter than it is to leap from “not guilty/self defense” to manslaughter.
Depraved mind is not a part of manslaughter (I don’t THINK, states are different, I’m not as familiar with FL). And yes, self-defense trumps manslaughter... so if they aren’t going with 2nd b/c they think self defense, then they also have to dismiss manslaughter.
If I am wrong I am sure there are at least 5 Freepers who will correct me. or 10. or 20. :0)
{{{V3 waves back at Mag, then scratches head ‘cuz she can see his post...?}}}
I think zero is REALLY going to want this to go away once the fired IT guy goes Snowden with the contents of TM’s phone.
I’m getting nauseaus.
I think it was understood and implied...
that’s just me though...
for George...we’re praying for you

Let me tell you how it works. Each of the jurors has already and perhaps a long time ago made up her mind. Now each has to pretend to others and to the authorities that she is “doing her job”, weighing the evidence, making a careful decision. That, folks, takes time. Pretending you work hard must take time. Nature of the beast. Been there, done that.
I wonder who's responsible...
NSA?
BDLR?
Guy Doll?
