We expected this to be a circus. And so it begins.

[Responsibility2nd]

FTA:
Don West followed with opening statements on behalf of Zimmerman, offering a knock-knock joke that fell flat before the stone-faced jurors.

“Who’s there?” West said. “George Zimmerman. George Zimmerman who? Okay, good. You’re on the jury.”

[chris37]

Probably not the best way to get the jury on your side.

[SoCal Pubbie]

Interesting how laws on juries vary from state to state. Only six jurors here, and if I recall my jury duty correctly, in California notes are not allowed.

“Who’s there?” West said. “George Zimmerman. George Zimmerman who? Okay, good. You’re on the jury.”

Incredibly bone headed to tell that joke in court. However, it is hilarious.

[CGASMIA68]

That was a STUPID move

He's quite right. All these people said they "know nothing"...about Zimmerman and the case. They don't watch the news, read the paper or talk to people.

Statistically, their "ignorance" is next to impossible.

Would love a picture of just one of the jurors in an anti-George rally.

Knock Knock...Who’s there?

Me! Zimmerman’s asinine and adolescent defense attorney, who doesn’t take you or this case seriously...

[Sacajaweau]

Not really....just a reminder that the jurors have already, "more than likely" lied to get on the jury.

Book deals make people do funny things.

To bad the defense didn’t play Martins foul tweets for the jury, tells a lot about his character. I bet these women jurors would find them enlightening.

“When Guy said Zimmerman “made a decision that brought us all here today,” the juror identified as E6 nodded her head in apparent agreement”

Well, there it is. Barely started and one juror has already found him guilty. Zimmerman doesn’t stand a chance. Not with his a-hole attorney cracking stupid jokes.

[Responsibility2nd]

Oh, I’m sure NO_LIMIT_NIGGA will make an appearance.

[mardi59]

I am hoping so.

[Taxman]

Zimmerman is so screwed!

[P-Marlowe]

The language -- rare for open court -- appeared to stun the six female jurors

Nobody is stunned by the F Bomb anymore.

[drjimmy]

But the procecution said he said “these f***ing punks always get away....” Clearly a deception designed to seem predijudicial...in the real world we call it lying to the jury...

Actually, according to the article, that is not what the prosecutor said.

[manc]

trying to lose the case before it starts, what an idiot to tell that joke or any joke.

[dfwgator]

Heck, if I were the judge, I’d charge the lawyer with Contempt of Court for telling such a lame-a$$ joke.
