I'm really surprised by it.
All women, all but one white.
I know De la Rionda got some of his strikes for cause denied by the judge; a few of the potential jurors he wanted gone were not booted.
You never know what a jury's gonna do and how their interaction will affect the verdict. But, I think O'Mara had a better day in final jury selection than did the prosecution.
On the other hand...all but one of the jurors is a mother.
P.s. Where the heck is Adub? Interested in her take too.
The media was saying, way back when, that the defense wanted a jury of middle aged white women. They got what they wanted, more or less. But, O'Mara did have to play the race card to get it. Questioning why the State was striking all white women lolol. Hello! Maybe because all those white women had made Crackerish bigoted statements while being questioned ?
But it is all good.
George Zimmerman did not shoot in self-defense. Because Trayvon Martin is not/was not a psychopathic killer. Why would TM want to murder George? If anything, GZ shot because he freaked the hell out. That doesn't count in Florida. Florida does not recognize an imperfect defense. Which means you can not freak the hell out and shoot someone because you thought they were the Big Black Kid that had been burglarizing homes ... that your wife witnessed running toward the back gate .... months and months before ...
George Zimmerman screwed up. And these white women are going to hear all about it.
