walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[HairOfTheDog]

Keep in mind, F.U., George Zimmerman (to his detriment, imo) went on talk shows to discuss the case, started 2 websites, and it's the defense team that has released all kinds of information (and proven misinformation) to the public over the last 16 months.

A large portion of what's been put out there for the public to see is actually public record from the case and information/opinions/pleas coming from Zimmerman, his defense attorneys (particularly O'Mara who's all over the tv) and George's brother Robert.

I did not pay that much attention to this case when if first happened, but I do feel that all that air time on both side will make this a very hard case to figure out. If both sides would have just shut the hell up things would be much better off right now.

I understand. Just pointing out that we know a lot more than the fact that George shot Trayvon and Trayvon is dead - from public records, police interviews, etc...

Also, those that have followed the case and formed an opinion do not have only one side's take to consider. There's been as much or more released from the defense side.

On the plus side, the judge is very matter-of-fact, by-the-book, and well regarded. Her jury questions will be good ones and both sides' attorneys well understand the importance of getting qualified objective jurors impaneled.

Evidence and testimony presented at trial will determine their verdict. What they see/hear will not include irrelevant information tossed out (by either side) simply to influence the court of public opinion.

P.s. this will be the first time I've watched a case with a jury of 6 instead of 12. Wondering if it will have any impact on deliberation time, etc..
