In the aftermath of the George Zimmerman verdict everyone was heard from either by news conference, television interview or by tweet -- except the jurors.
The identities of the six women who decided that Zimmerman was innocent of murder and manslaughter in the death of Trayvon Martin were sealed at the start of the racially charged trial and the court and the sheriff reminded the media after the trial that the court order is still in effect.
The roll call of the jurors sounds like a moment from a Bingo game -- B76, B37, E6, B29, E40 and B51. And during the trial the camera in the courtroom was careful to never show their faces.
There is no indication that the women will explain their verdict in public any time soon.
"Jurors were given packets of letters from the media containing interview requests. They expressed no interest at this time," the court spokeswoman tweeted out today.
The court also tweeted a warning shortly after the verdict was announced, saying, "Any attempt to identify jurors is a violation of the current order."
The warning was bolstered by a release from the Seminole County Sheriff's office reminding the media that the identities of the jurors "remain protected by order of the court.".........

To heck with the permit - they should all carry...
If these jurors are not protected, no one else will want to sit on a jury for such a case OR the state will win all cases because the jurors don’t want to be victims of the politically corrected group.
Smart choice.
True ... Evil must not win!
I don’t want to wake you ... well, Heck Yes, I Do!
Had I been on that jury, it would be a bandolier, twin holsters, a sombrero and a crazed look on my face forever. This would all be topped off with the paranoia of Yossarian.
PERMITS??We don’t need no stinking permits!

“They are Heroes!”
No, they are simply citizens who were called to do a job and did it. They don’t owe anybody any explanations about anything. Had I been on that jury, the public would never hear a word from me, ever. Period!
Thank You!
I knew you would understand.
Within a few weeks the Liberal News Media will have everything about them made public. The same Liberal Media who has yet to tell us Jack about the background and missing events in POTUS background.
Thank you for setting us free.
and I knew from watching you.

There are so many people who think being on a jury is like some reality show, as in, let’s vote for this one to move on to the next round of his life, or let’s vote that one off the island and into prison. I’ve served a couple of times, nothing even close to a case like this, but you aren’t there to ‘feel’ that some one is probably guilty, or that ‘maybe he could have done something else besides shoot’. You have to work with what evidence is presented and decide whether the state proved its’ case or not. If they didn’t, what you might feel is of no consequence whatsoever. To let your personal feelings get in the way is to let the whole justice system down. It’s an awful responsibility for $10 a day + mileage.
yes, been there. What a ravaging day for these Six Heroes.
Keeping London Bridge erected is a challenge.
