This is a very interesting perspective however what does that fact that she was the only 'minority' have to do with it?
ReplyDeleteOutside of the fact... Oh, what's the use?
ReplyDeleteBut how essential was this fact? The point is, the prosecution couldn't prove anything beyond reasonable doubt. This has nothing to do with the race of Zimmerman or the juror.
ReplyDeleteHave you listened to what the jurors have said? They said that they essentially did not pay any attention to the case. They did not judge or vote on what was or was not proven, they simply voted to free gz based on some nebulous and unexplainable feeling that he did nothing wrong and was a nice guy. So much for jury trials!
