I have to say I find that more than a little dubious.
This case is so devisive and has been so high profile in the media for so long I can't see how anyone can't have formed an opinion about it yet.
I haven't come across anybody online or IRL who have just shrugged their shoulders and said “I don't know” when asked about the case.
The past 3 days have been about fair, impartial, and the ability to follow instructions. I think it is going pretty well for both sides. And I do know a bunch of people that don't really care about this one way or the other. But, just might start to care if they got a jury summons.
High profile trials are likened to reality TV shows. Lots of people would be tickled to be on a reality TV show.
Zimmerman has a jury consultant that charges $10,000 a day. The State is winging it. Just going on their experience. It is, what it is.
Should take another week, or so. The jury will be seated by the end of the next court week. And I expect a few Baston (sp) hearings, and for O'Mara to try and get a continuance based on bias. Maybe even ask for a change of venue.
