Just a quick point. George Zimmerman will be found guilty of SOMETHING. It might not be Murder 2, but I will almost guarantee it will be something.
Reason? You don't think this jury knows the political ramifications of this trial? They do, just like the jury in O.J.'s knew the political ramifications of his trial.
I'm think Manslaughter 2.
I respectfully disagree. You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I believe that the evidence so clearly points to self defense that they won't be able to overcome it. I certainly think you have a point that there are political ramifications. Whether or not these women are aware of it, I don't know. If they were oblivious enough of the situation to get on the jury, then I don't know that they would be completely coherent of the outside circumstances as well.
I saw the opening statements. One of the juror's kept nodding her head during the prosecutions statements, giving Zimmerman these looks. When the defense started his, she looked like she was sitting on a pile of manure. Already made up her mind.
But we'll see. I think the prosecution has done a horrible job because they don't have any evidence for Murder 2. But we'll see...
