Zimmerman should demand a jury trial and his lawyer should point out in clear terms just how dangerous it could be for a person to serve on that jury (because of public anger) and should,therefore,demand that the jurors be allowed to be anonymous.They sometimes do that in Mafia trials because the defendant might “reach out” to one or more jurors (offering them “silver or lead”) but in *this* case it's the *public* that the jurors might fear,not the defendant.

The scary part about a jury in a political case is that quite often the outcome is determined after jury selection, even before the evidence is heard.
