Summary:
http://www.hlntv.com/article/2013/06/10/zimmerman-juror-selection-questions
The first potential juror, a middle-aged blonde female
The second woman, a younger black female
The third candidate, a white middle-aged male
The last candidate for the day, a white middle-aged woman
Apparently someone thinks the image above is racist so let’s use the multicultural version:
I’m not sure how the day will go. It was reported O’Mara asked for a continuance, there still remains the Frye hearing and other issues.

White communists attempt to hijack “Justice for Trayvon” movement at trial

How appropriate.
The comparison with emmitt till is grotesque. I would think tills family would be upset with this comparison. Also black kids are now allowed to speak to white women. Societies views and laws have changed. But n
Whoops! Hit post accidentally. Laws haven’t changed so that black teens can attack white people for asking then what they are doing. Society and the law still frowns on that. Emmitt tills case was only about race, he was killed for speaking to a white women while black. Martin wasn’t killed for attacking a white Hispanic while black, just for attacking a white Hispanic. Race is irrelevant to Zimmermans actions, it obviously wasn’t to tills murderers, it was their whole motication. This is more of an OJ case. Race had nothing to do with it until large numbers of black people decided it did.
Back in session
Judge to separate questionnaires by Question #4
O’Mara worried about media microphone being on while they sift through questionnaires.
Looks like it’s going to be a bit while everyone separates the questionnaires.
lost video feed
video back on, still sifting
recess for lunch
Back in session now
Oh god, still doing the looking through the questionnaire thing. Does this seriously need to be done in open court?
6 to 10 questionnaire’s not even legible, they’ll be selected.
Wow, what a waste of time and money this is. They seriously can’t figure out some process of dealing with this process before starting? What is the State paying here altogether to run that courtroom while they all look at questionnaires? $5,000 an hour at least maybe 10? good grief.
Aren’t these questionaires supposed to be finalized in advance?
I’m not sure what you mean by finalized. As far as I understand they have been filled out by the potential jurors and for the past couple of hours the defense, state and judge have been going through them.
Recess again, lol
This is crazy. I guess Nelson forgot what she supposed to do to prepare for today.
It’s not Nelson, it’s the process they set up. I have no idea how much of that process is the judges discretion and how much are laws/rules. You’ll have to ask TalkLeft for that.
Got it but I do not recall such confusion in other trials
I’m guessing by the time they get back they’ll have to talk about a bunch of stuff then go over the questionnaires again, then court will be in recess until tomorrow when maybe they’ll actually do something.
Back in session yet again and back at sidebar
Okay maybe a juror coming up soon
Juror B12
Wow, she on purpose did not watch TV or go online after she got the notice!
Bernie peppering her about her contact with this case regarding the media, net etc.
He keeps asking about online, keeps saying twitter, but he really wants to ask if she visits CTH. LOL!
Legal websites, or websites giving out legal info to the defense team: CTH? 😉
Stop joking Bernie, you’re making poor George laugh! His life is on the line, stop joking fool!
Shellie looks like a Barbie doll! Sweet!
Judge eyeing the consultant with the defense with disapproval, she’s not liking them having anyone helping them? Did the consultant help prepare the questions also?
Next juror coming up
B29 female
They don’t have news in Chicago? She sounds Puerto Rican or something, the accent. She likes drama, bad girls. Doesn’t like the real world!
Goes to church. Was it one where the trash can tours visited?
Glad West is doing this juror! Third shift, the other one worked at night. What is this? Night owls, vampires! The Alphabet channels Miss! Nursing home worker?
Not good with something bad happening. Do people need news Mr. West? What he needs to ask is her ideas about justice and right and wrong and world views?
she is not believable
Its the way New Yorkers and I guess Chicagoans talk. Sounds shifty, but its a communication style that is often mistaken for disingenuousness, but its normal. She seems honest. Bummer about the sequestering!
Several weeks, a few months, she seems like a good candidate, with part time, works because she wants
Nah, if something happened to her family, she’s a goner, and also its emotionally hard. Idk! GZ likes her. He understands about family.
B29 thinks Trayvon was 12 or 13
The kid and mom connection, the schema in the brain is set. This was a kid to someone’s mom and then Sybrina with her tears and State with their emotional appeals, she should be out!
Have the reporter read it West!
Men or single women would be better at pursuing rationale. Moms who are all about family are way too easily appealed to by emotions! Negativity? This whole case is about negativity!
But I don’t listen to the news … not trying to be rude but … this case held me up in traffic (lol) we got lots of crime in Chicago … boss told her where to go to get her excuse note …
Lets do a NO on this one, please!
B30 male
rather b 30 than b 65 funny guy
Trayvon and dad visiting.
Defendant, not George, but “defendant” had scuffle with him.
“Defendant,” not George, tells me he’s not a blank slate, Bernie. Trayvon has a name and a dad in B 30’s mind.
Is 65, not married, has a girlfriend in Sanford something in common with Tracy, how nice! Played in a band for 20 years, prolly did weed, is a liberal, no go guys!
Fault on both sides, two people wrong place wrong time, two people instigating something, sounds like O’Mara’s words. Holy cow!
Someone said George did the right thing at the wrong time.
Lost wife same time as Trayvon. And already a girlfriend in Sanford very much like Tracy. No sooner had he lost one son, he was busy creating another child. 86 this guy, please for the love of God!
Anytime you lose a child, its gonna hurt. Yeah, and if George was lost, his parents wouldn’t have gone on the air and troubled the whole world crying about it! George’s parents feelings don’t matter because they keep quiet! Again with the “Trayvon Martin and dad! “
Should we consider all of the black parents who have lost children and no one noticed or cared. Are they more or less likely to support true justice?
Sounded like a woman (or maybe it was a little boy named Trayvon!) Girlfriend has the safari prosecution in mind, uh oh!
The police said “stay in the car” and George didn’t, according to girlfriend!
B30’s girlfriend “George should have stayed in truck”
All of the propaganda will be coming out in all these jurors
Floridians, especially in old areas like Sanford and Deltona have too much conformity to community understanding and beliefs of things. It is hard for them to dissent or think on their own. Social constructs are the rule. He hears voices! LOL!
3 jurors an hour so far
B76 Female
If you’re falling, dive! They should simply go ahead and pick most likely to convict jury. Because if they get a hung jury, then no chance of a malicious prosecution lawsuit, according to some firms. None of these jurors sound like George’s peers!
None of these jurors sound like George’s peers! Not yet but I am still waiting for them to seat ten White Hispanics who have killed black children.
George is rational and reality conscious, very conscientious and community minded from all we have seen about him.
All four of the jurors are moving or have moved, cut off from their communities, working late at night, only care about their families, don’t want to let reality in their lives, don’t watch the news, don’t read the paper, want to watch reality shows, or drama series, have been content with other people’s opinions, but claim that they can keep an open mind, yet, the lazy way they live their lives does not show evidence of deep thought of life or truth, justice or morality! But its the first day yet, so …
And a long way to go to get ten.
Btw, the word “White Hispanic” is a ludicrous word that the media came up with to continue their race baiting. Hispanics do not think of themselves as white or black.
I read recently that a Spanish teacher got fired for her use of the word “negro.” Yet, look at the use of the word “negro” in this immensely popular song through the decades.
This is Wilfredo Vargas and his group doing “El Africano:”
Consultant seems nice to George. Sounds like he’s saying, “you’ll be alright, don’t worry about it. This is the first day.”
Seems more personable and connecting with George in one day than O’Mara in over a year.
+1,000,000
Been at sidebar for a while now knocking their average down to 2 jurors per hour.
Well Nelson asks George direct questions for any objections on bringing jurors up now and such, he says no, so I guess they’re going to bring 21 jurors in, do their thang then recess for the day.
The way a thinking, sound minded, honest jury member will decide is rightly said by the actor playing Jury Foreman at 17:58 in this video:
Nelson giving instructions to jurors
Well court was going to be in recess but hell, why not, one more sidebar just for fun. Lot’s of people leaving the courtroom though.
oh, okay, now in recess until tomorrow 9am
I missed all of this. Is George effed?
You didn’t miss much. They talked to four jurors.
4 each day, 20 per week ..At this rate it could take 25 weeks to get through 500 potential jurors; Hummm . Maybe that is the strategy to get a continuance one way or another. I know that won’t work but it is a thought.
Holy cow, and I was expecting a cake party from Jello this evening! He said he’s gonna hold out till opening statements.
I didn’t bet any cakes but I figured with so many cakes coming in from Jello, there’d be cake parties happening all over the place. Shikes!
Jello and I have many of the same ideas about what will happen. 😀
I saw somewhere flipping through the news the elderly male juror B30 is out. There was no explanation given.
Whew!
DiwataMan,
Why and on what basis do you ridicule the lady in the image at the very top of this thread?
Is there anything she did or said to deserve you depicting her as an ignorant and inarticulate individual?
I’m asking because I know she is a FAMU law student and she is articulate.
Why do you think I’m ridiculing her?
Oh, I see now, because she’s black right? That’s why you think that? lolz, go away. If you prefer I’ll put the quote over the white guys head however that would be going against the theme of the communists hijacking the black cause which has long been part of history and directly applies to the Trayvon Martin case.
Am I offended because you mocked a black person? No.
Am I offended because you mocked a person for free? yes
Would it be more fair if you mock a white person? No. That would be racist of me.
You’re still free to put the quote on you.
You can also make mock someone doing/saying something stupid.
You still haven’t answered to my initial questions. I understand from the questions you gave back that you don’t see any problem, … unless possibly if I’m somehow race sensitive. Sorry, I’m not.
You keep asserting that I’m doing something to her, I’m not. I’m making fun of the radical left and their attempts to hijack the black cause. Your focus is on her merely because she’s black. If I had uploaded that with the quote above the white person you would have nothing to say.
Just looked up to see if you really did what wrote you’ll do.
I have to say, I’m now offended 2x:
1) More people got ridiculed with no reason, &
2) I got dragged in a race issue I never brought up.
Oh take your silly offenses elsewhere, lol, good grief, I’m offended by your offense.
Here’s some more for you to get offended by:
I’m offended you’re offending DMan. It’s offensive that you find it offensive for DMan to inject a little humor into this VERY OFFENSIVE display of lies, hypocrisy, and racism by those supporting the Scheme Team.
