walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[HairOfTheDog]

Unless some of the potential jurors are wearing KKK hoods or Black Panther T-shirts you can never really know what their true feelings are about the case and what their motivations are for wanting to be on the jury.

Yeah, you can never really ever know what anybody else is thinking.

When it comes to jury selection though, the attorneys do a good job of asking the right questions and gauging the potential jurors' responses. They're pros at it; as are the judges. It's the same with any jury trial.

There was a suspicion that one of those questioned early on was trying to get on the jury in order to sway it in favor of the prosecution. The judge called him out about a Facebook post on a Trayvon Justice page right away. Don't know if there have also been Zimmerman supporters suspected of trying to infiltrate.

When the second round of questioning begins next week, it will be more interesting. Some biases that could be prejudicial to one side or the other and have been either intentionally or unintentionally withheld will come to light, no doubt.
