The all-female jury in George Zimmerman’s second-degree murder trial was under close watch by court deputies during the 22 day sequester and spent plenty of quality time together, including trips to get manicures and pedicures, movie and bowling outings, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office revealed on Wednesday.

Beginning on June 21, the six-woman jury lived in a Marriott hotel in Lake Mary, Fla., and were closely monitored to prevent them from any exposure to outside information about the case.

Each had individual rooms but the jurors would frequently meet for meals and to socialize, according to a statement from the sheriff’s office released Wednesday. But in all their time together they were not allowed to discuss the case until deliberations began....

Why is this important? NBC trying to do a "two minutes of hate" against the jurors?

[struggle]

MUST...DEFLECT...FROM...ZIMMERMAN SUING US FOR MANUFACTURING “RACIST” TAPES

[Pinkbell]

I saw the comments on a primarily black site on this. I think NBC’s motive worked because this made them even more angry. They said it was like they were on vacation, and they didn’t even care about the case.

Should’a screened all of the seasons of Dragnet.

I hope zimmerman gets punative damages. His settlement should be in excess of 8 figures and CONSTANT COMMERCIALS APPOLOGIZING.

[Winstons Julia]

Good?

So? That sort of activity goes on during many a jury sequestration. They need something to do, radio,tv, internet etc, are all out of the question.

NBC trying to cause trouble—again.

Like BP still groveling about the Gulf?

Blacks on this case have no reason or rationale. They were worked up into a frenzy by the MSM and some race hustlers and politically corrupt politicians. How many do you really think followed the trial closely? Very little.

However, if the media wants to keep stoking fires I'm sure the blacks will do the dance for them. Moronic.

I see the source is NBC. Obviously and edited story. I don’t trust them for anything anymore. Might as well all be Andrea Mitchell.

Well, now they know how we feel about Obama.

Zimmerman is never going to go away!!!!! Please stop the stories about Trayvon and Zimmerman. It is getting really boring. And don’t tell me not to hit the Zimmerman stories because that is what Free Republic has become....The Zimmerman Site.

[Proud2BeRight]

LOL I had to look up what a “mani pedi” is.

[digger48]

Despite the diverting excursions during the trial, however, the jurors that found Zimmerman not guilty of a crime in the shooting that left Florida teenager Trayvon Martin dead ....

they just can't help but editorialize everything

[ronnietherocket3]

I think this paragraph sums it up:

Despite the diverting excursions during the trial, however, the jurors that found Zimmerman not guilty of a crime in the shooting that left Florida teenager Trayvon Martin dead have since had such a strong emotional reaction to the case that the court is making counseling available to them, officials announced Wednesday.

Had the media not stirred up a hornet's nest over this, the sequester would have been unneeded.

[KittenClaws]

LOL!

When are we gonna hear how ineffective Bambi is because of his golf games and constant vacations?

[over3Owithabrain]

Mani pedis are awesome. And I’m a dude. My local pub has a salon next door + you can bring in your drinks from the pub and kick back while the Asian ladies treat your feet and hands

[matt1234]

I saw a very similar story on USA Today posted within an hour of this NBC story. Sure looks like meda collusion to me.

[matt1234]

Dem rich crackas trew Trayvon unda da bus.

[Revolting cat!]

Ms TRIAL!
