Amen ... my full agreement. Six Ladies have stood up to say .... Enough!
No, she’s still got that Joker grin. And too much makeup. But if she’s your wife or sister, I apologize for any insensitivity.
CNN embarrassed itself by falsely claiming that on the 911 call, Zimmerman had used an archaic racial slur to describe black Americans. In fact, as even the prosecution later admitted, he had used the word punks. At least the cable news channel did not resort to fraudulent editing though.
The press was judged in this trial - they were found wanting...
Wonderful - please post on every Zimmerman thread - it’s that good. Thanks so much...
...”In a heartbeat. When some strange person sucker-punches you to the ground and then gets on top of you and starts banging your head into concrete, your only assumption can be that he means to either kill you or do you serious bodily harm. You don’t have time to intellectualize over the finer points”...
Example of head injury from the Mayo Clinic:
“By Mayo Clinic staff
Traumatic brain injury is caused by a blow or other traumatic injury to the head or body. The degree of damage can depend on several factors, including the nature of the event and the force of impact. Injury may include one or more of the following factors:
Damage to brain cells may be limited to the area directly below the point of impact on the skull.
A severe blow or jolt can cause multiple points of damage because the brain may move back and forth in the skull.
A severe rotational or spinning jolt can cause the tearing of cellular structures.
A blast, as from an explosive device, can cause widespread damage.
An object penetrating the skull can cause severe, irreparable damage to brain cells, blood vessels and protective tissues around the brain.
Bleeding in or around the brain, swelling, and blood clots can disrupt the oxygen supply to the brain and cause wider damage.”
And, of course, you can also die from head injury. I cannot see how anyone knocked to the ground by a large stranger who begins to pound that person’s head on the sidewalk would not feel in mortal danger. They do not call guns “the great equalizer” for nothing.
if i was on that jury my first words would hv been... NO we will not vote with emotions as the prosecution has requested. we will vote on rule of law.
the audacity of them to even ask.
btw the note taker jurist probably took item by item and showed the ever changing story line.
I make a habit of not following “Crime Stories” in the media, but this is the best article I’ve read on this case. The author deserves a lot of credit for his excellent writing.
“Six brave ladies did the right thing”
Maybe some here will re-consider some of the unkind things written about women jurors.
For that matter, women generally.
You would have been a great juror.
Other Freepers made the following observations that bear repeating here:
"...George Zimmerman is 1/4 white yet Barak Obama is 1/2 white, which makes him more of a white man than Zimmerman."
"...a hispanic man kills a black boy and 6 women acquit him, yet it's still the white man's fault."
I caught that this morning....laughed so hard I got my “morning constitutional” started earlier than usual.
Bigtime....we quit her when she declared in no uncertain terms that “Jimmuh Carter was the bay-est president we’ve evah hay-ed!”
The bar for libel and slander in this country is very high. It'll be a tough case for Zimmerman to win.

It has been said that women saved civilization during the Dark Ages through their determination to transmit it to the next generation. In a way, our nation is being threatened with the destruction of our own civilization through the corruption of our institutions. I believe those six brave women could possibly go down in history as making a landmark decision, in spite of unbelievable pressure from the most powerful among us to condemn an innocent man, which could bring about change in future attempts of the powerful to politicize race in this nation. At our core, we are about saving what is worth living for and that is truth which leads to peace for all people.
It seems like such a deliberate act done to pervert the evidence and to harm someone. Hard to believe that no consequences might follow.
Indeed, tremendous pressure was brought on these jurors. In the end, the threat to riot was revealed as nothing more than an attempt to intimidate the jurors into ignoring the facts and the law and sending an innocent man to prison.
Mr Rams: She wasn’t worried. She knew she had left her wallet at home.
There’s a bunch of “Mary Jane” jokes in `Truly Tasteless Jokes - Vol. 4’ They all end with “Mary Jane laughed and laughed because...”
Example:
Mary Jane was walking down the street when a man pulled her into a dark alley and started ripping off all her clothes.
And Mary Jane laughed and laughed, because she knew her clothes wouldn’t fit him.
I lay the blame on the hip hop videos that show thugs draped in gold chains, surrounded by gyrating half naked women, bragging about sex and drugs while promoting violence and hate.
I had no idea! :-)
