And that is exactly why I have only done jury duty once, and never will again. The only evidence you get to see is what they want you to see, and the only shit they want you to see is what will most likely manipulate you into giving the verdict they want....the sort of evidence required to render an informed judgement is usually either not allowed to be introduced....or suppressed, if one of the lawyers sneaks it past. Add to that the privacy-invasive voir dire, and one has every reason to avoid this game.
As for Zimmerman, he is lucky he dodged the bullet as much as he did. The negroids was after after a pound of flesh and quart of blood, but had to settle for a little finger! This shows why police now feel the need to wear a body-cam, and why anyone on a neighborhood watch (or attending a protest) should do the same.
