Apostolic Friends Forum - All Female Jury Selected For Zimmerman Trial

FoxNews had an article with this "Meet the Jury" info.

6 JURORS:

Quote:

B-29: Described as a Hispanic woman, who works as a nurse treating patients with Alzheimer's. She has seven children and lived in Chicago at the time of the February 2012 shooting.

From Chicago, which has the highest gun murder rate in the US...also Hispanic. First thought wonders which will sway more, Chicago's gun murders or race? Could be a problem for either side.

Quote:

B-76: Described as a white middle-aged woman, who said Zimmerman had an "altercation with the young man. There was a struggle, and the gun went off."

Defense probably concerned with her description of what happened, although, saying 'the gun went off' could make them hopeful that she leans more to an accident than murder.

Quote:

B-37: Described as a middle-aged white woman, who works for a chiropractor and has many pets. She described protests in Sanford sparked after the delay in Zimmerman's arrest as "rioting."

I'd have to believe this one is a concern for the prosection.

Quote:

B-51: Described as a retired white woman from Oviedo, Fla., who has a dog and 20-year-old cat. She knew a good deal about the case but said, "I'm not rigid in my thinking."

I don't know about this one.

Quote:

E-6: Described as a young white woman and mother, who used to work in financial services. She used this case as an example to her adolescent children, warning them to not go out at night.

That she used this case as an example isn't a great comfort to the defense, IMO.

Quote:

E-40: Described as a white woman in her 60s, who lived in Iowa at the time of the shooting. She heard national news reports and recalls the shooting was in a gated community and a teenager was killed.

Hard to guess on this one, too.

4 ALTERNATES:
E-40: Described as a white man in his 50s. He cautioned his 16-year-old stepson about wearing hoodie, which Trayvon Martin was wearing at the time of the shooting.

B-72: Described as a Hispanic man in his 20s, who works as maintenance technician at a school. He is a self-described power lifter and arm wrestler.

E-13: Described as a white woman in her 20s. She has brother who is black. She says she "never" watches the news, but when she first heard of shooting thought it was a "racial thing."

E-28: Described as a white middle-aged woman, who works as a nurse and says she listens to a lot of radio on her 15-minute commute. She said she knew little about the case and has no opinion about Zimmerman's guilt.

1st and 3rd Alternate - pro prosecution. 2nd could be pro Zimmerman. 4th is a toss-up, but IIRC from listening, I think I remember her as being sympathetic to Zimmerman.
