walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[Midwest Spy]

There's no chance these jurors had been or are currently completely unaware of the enormous racial pressure that surrounds this case. The coverage this case generated long before jury selection certainly will have an effect. An argument to the contrary completely discounts the bias or influence we experience as human beings.

So now psychologically they are in a position now that they feel they can let both sides win... they can find a guy not guilty of 2^nd degree murder, and convict him of a lesser charge.

There is no vacuum. They are fully aware of all the emotional and racial tension here.

IMO, it will absolutely affect the decision they make.

You've morphed into MS, you now have the amazing ability to know things you couldn't possibly know. Whatta gift!

It's called insight.
