TM wants a jury of his peers but the law clearly states its a jury of the peers of the defendant that determines the verdict
Wish all who bitch would be confronted by that fact each time they opened their mouth.
This behavior should lead to disbarment. Lawyers have no business criticizing a jury like this.
Jesse Jackson quote found here:
As he arrived Wednesday morning at Orlando International Airport, Jackson said he was upset over the verdict, adding even though Zimmerman ended up not using Florida's Stand Your Ground law in his defense, Jackson still wants to see the controversial gun law repealed.
Jackson and Martin Luther King III both said they believe the jury was not diverse enough to get a fair assessment of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.
"We've got to find a way to ensure that everyone in this nation is treated in a just and humane way with our system of justice," King III said.
"They had a whole white prosecution staff. They should have had white, black and female [prosecutors]," said Jackson. "No blacks on the jury, and now they're showing their own cultural biases. They really identified more with Zimmerman than they did with Trayvon."
Five of the six members of the all-female jury that acquitted Zimmerman were white. The sixth was said to be mixed-race. Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda had identified her as a "black/Hispanic woman."

These morons wanted this case tried on race and race alone. The black juror the prosecution excused watched Fox News Big freaking deal. Wonder if the others were asked what news stations they watched?
Someone needs to remind him it was the Martins lawyers that rejected a black/Afro American juror........so who’s the racist
‘Jesse Jackson said the almost all-white jury acquitted Zimmerman because of “cultural bias”’
Jackson is right you know.
Us Crackas just don’t know enough to take our ass-whuppin’ when it is our turn...
It’s creepy white. AZZcracker The later being one word used to describe a homosexual Thus the concern for Z being a rapesf and TM calling Z a HOMO ( MSM bleeped it out in the walkthru day after the incident )
TM was homophobic and gonna beat down Z
Blacks are consumed by racism, so they project it onto everyone else.
Are there any attorneys who AREN’T co-counsel to the Martin family??
I spoke to someone at the CFNews 13 newsroom. He said the likely problem with the online video is that it is being uploaded and to check back in a while.
Of course they did. They're all adults from the same community as the defendant. That's what "jury of your peers" means.
If the prosecution were so concerned, then why didn't he file a motion for a change of venue to someplace more neutral?

man, that shirt is begging to be photoshopped!
That slab-faced prosecutor needs to be disbarred and jailed.
I got a good chuckle out of her use the phrase ‘almost all-white jury’ today.
I guess they wanted Martin to be killed by blacks!! (At least it wouldn’t be in the news, then)
Alternate juror on Hannity now..oops it’s over now.
It was a man and he would have voted not -guilty.
