walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[HairOfTheDog]

Believe what you want... I'm not hedging on anything.

*snipped or relevance and space*

...you can't assume that one person can't sway the rest.

We'll see soon!

It's not the Zimmerman jury's reality. It's your claimed assumption based on a sentencing phase from a past case, and your convenient unfounded projection on to others for the case at hand; a rationalization should the jury, after having considered all of the evidence, disagree with your "open minded" position.

And, yes, one juror can sway the rest, but not using fear of public backlash to do so without it equating to juror misconduct.

I can accept acquittal, Manslaughter, or Murder 2 - wherever the evidence leads. I might not end up agreeing with the verdict, but I don't think there's a conspiracy in play, nor do I think that there will be riots if Zimmerman is acquitted. I'm not accusing the jury (or even one of them) of being cowardly liars before they even begin deliberations just in case they end up viewing the evidence in a different light than do I. No hedging here.

Yes, we'll see. We'll just continue to see people and the process differently no matter how it turns out. That's okay.
