SANFORD, Fla. —
The six women who acquitted George Zimmerman in Trayvon Martin's killing were sequestered during the trial, but Channel 9 learned those jurors were allowed hours of time alone with friends and family.
Channel 9's Kathi Belich confirmed the jurors were left unsupervised with guests at times, which WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said is more than enough time for a member to have said something that could have influenced a juror and possibly impacted the verdict.
The Seminole County Sheriff's Office said Judge Debra Nelson allowed jurors generally no more than two hours of alone time with visitors once a week.

This is beyond ridiculous.
If anything, a family member would “tip off” the threats of violence, rumors of riots and riot plans by LEOs
So if there was anything said, anything to be tainted, it would have been anti GZ.
As long as the jurors toed the line, they got pedicures.
I agree. There is no evidence any family member said anything improper (but, hey, when it comes to this case, who needs evidence?), but if they said anything it would have been about the pro-Treyvon, anti-George media circus down there.
[eyeroll] Yeah, the fiasco staged by the prosecution could NEVER have been enough to convince them to vote for acquittal. In fact, given all the pertinent information the state conspired to keep from the jurors, I'd argue that in this case, outside information leaking in would no doubt be of BENEFIT.
At first I thought this meant “alone time” with the Martin family. Frankly, it wouldn’t surprise me.
LOL!
And the cousins best friend's neighbor went to a Tea Party rally. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
It’s the accused who has a right to a speedy trial and a jury. The actual jurors don’t have to be locked away in dadgum isolation chambers throughout the trial.
Good grief, the straw grabbing going on after this verdict. They’ve got enough broken straw to fulfill straw man agitation propaganda needs for the next five years.
A**holes.
They will do anything and say anything to undermine the rule of law.
One of the jurors liked black licorice candy when she was a kid.
It was once said that “Hell hath no fury, like a woman scorned.”.
That goes double for racist blacks who didn’t get the verdict they wanted in the Zimmerman trial.
A trial that never should have been.
They are determined to win one way or another.
Zimmerman should leave this country and find one with no treaty to return those wanted by the US. Obama and his Negro flunkies in the Justice Department aren’t about to give up on this. The law means nothing to them, they twist it to serve their purpose. This is the new America, and some of us saw it coming.
Bill Schaeffer must be familiar with this....he was pro-Zimmerman the first couple of days into the trial....then became pro-Trayvon as the evidence clearly showed Trayvon was the assaulter.
Schaeffer got talked to by someone during the trial. It was obvious to all covering and following the trial
I would consider a month away from my family a nice vacation.
Oh yeah? Well, I heard one of the jurors had played Tea Party with a childhood friend when they were five years old.
On the other hand, I wouldn't allow Kathi Belich or Bill Sheaffer unsupervised with my neighbors dog.
Licorice is commonly available in strands called "whips". Licorice is black. Licorice is therefor racist.
