It was a HUGE mistake to have an all-female jury in this case. This is the LAST place you want emotion to play a role in a verdict. I fear these women will be more concerned about the OUTCOME of their verdict, than TRUTH based on evidence and the LAW.

O'Mara said that even if the jurors have REASONABLE DOUBT that Zimmerman did NOT act in self-defense, THEY MUST FIND ZIMMERMAN 'NOT GUILTY'.

Acquittal means angry riots and violence. Conviction means “celebratory” riots and violence which could be even worse as far as the killing spree. Because conviction sends the message that white folks have no right to self-defense.

This is the LAST place you want emotion to play a role in a verdict.

Unless your goal is an emotion driven verdict, facts be damned.

My thoughts exactly. I risk stereotyping ( and the subsequent risk of being bashed by Free Republic female members) women as a whole - but there is a strong current of emotion in how they think and act.

And that doesn’t play well for Zimmerman. I was just watching Fox and they said that the prosecution had a final rebuttal to the defense’s closing arguments. Fox said that the procsecution went heavy on emotion and light on facts.
