I read that in Florida they have 6 jurors in a trial like this one. If there are 3 black jurors and 3 liberal whites who have made up their minds based on the media, Zimmerman is screwed. The most he might hope for is a hung jury--if there are any black jurors it will be hard to get a unanimous vote for acquittal.

O'Mara was on Geraldo together with Crump--he said Crump has been shown all of the evidence but he hasn't.

Corey can get away with this for now because most Americans don't know enough about legal procedures to know whether the prosecutor can leave out evidence that favors the defendant.

I think 12 jurors is standard throughout the US - hence “Rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.”
