SANFORD, Fla. - Day 5 of jury selection ended on Friday with no jury seated and more jurors left to be questioned in the George Zimmerman second-degree murder trial.
Seven potential jurors were questioned on Friday. Six of the seven jurors questioned on Friday were told to come back Tuesday morning. On Friday afternoon, seven more prospective jurors not yet questioned were brought in and asked to come back on Monday at 9 a.m. as Nelson apologized for not getting to them as she had planned.
Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, spoke at a news conference after the proceedings.
"We've never failed to pick a Seminole County jury in the past," O'Mara said, commenting on how he's happy he is about being able to select one in Seminole County despite skepticism. "The jurors are being very honest and straightforward. Hopefully the rest of the jurors will be able to keep telling the truth."
