Any thoughts on Zimmerman's ALL FEMALE jury?

MechPlasma · 2013-07-14T15:06:50+00:00

As far as I can tell, both sides were removing male jurors until there were only females left, and neither side objected. I guess they both thought having more women on the jury would help their case more.

So no, I don't have anything to say on it. At most, it's a case of sexism by the lawyers, but I don't see anything you could extrapolate from that.

No. I've been trying to avoid the whole Zimmerman trial story.

And not one black person.

I think it was better for Zimmerman. Women "feel" that threats are everywhere and the media makes black men out to be the boogeyman practically so in this case it's best for him.

whatever happened to 12 people being on a jury? I am uncomfortable with an all woman jury, but I feel for those lawyers having to find 6 people that had no bias towards Zimmerman at all. I live in the NorthEast and the Zimmerman story really saturated the news up here, I can't imagine the saturation where it was local news.

In this case I am gonna let it pass. They got what they got. And the jury seems to have reached the correct legal decision. The prosecution never had a case.

I doubt we'll see any articles from "progressive" gender warriors in Salon or the Atlantic about how women make such better jurors than men...

The prosecution screwed up.

6 because it wasn't a capital offence. He was only charged with 2nd degree. And all women because statistically it had to happen at some point (1 in 64 I think, but don't quote me on that). That's just how it turns out when there is random selection.

What surprised me was only 6 jurors in Florida. Most other states it's 12 jurors.

Women are historically great jurors for defense. This isn't true if the defendant is a woman. Having 5 white women and a Hispanic woman decide if its OK to stalk, start a fight and then when losing shoot a black make should set off alarms. I have been stared down by enough white women to know they thought I was guilty of something

They were impartial, and acquitted him as they could not find a means beyond a reasonable doubt to convict him. It's as simple as that.

The defense selected an all female jury because women are the most racist as a result of the hysterical rape terror that feminism has inculcated in them. Sure you'll find less women shrieking slurs, but that has always been a tiny fraction of the population. Real pervasive racism is quiet, and with women their prejudices are accepted by society. Women can openly fear men and act under the assumption that any man is a potential rapist, and that's considered smart and rational behavior. But let me ask you this: Do you think the average white woman is more likely to cross the street when they see a white man or a black man?

They did a good job.

I just hope blacks dont get angry and go on a race riot where they target and attack white people (even tho zim is hispanic), like they did in Wisconsin a few years ago.

I believe that OJ Simpson also had a majority female jury (9 out of 12), all white. One of many examples of an ineffective/broken 'justice' system.
