http://www.businessinsider.com/george-zimmerman-juror-anderson-cooper-interview-2013-7 From the article: "I was sure sure it was George Zimmerman's voice," the unnamed juror known as B37 told Cooper, explaining she felt that way because "of the evidence he was the one who had gotten beaten." Apparently 5 of the 6 jurors agreed it was George. | ||

Zimmerman never would have had the courage to encounter Travyon if he didn't have a gun. Also quoting a friend "you can see someone acting suspiciously, go up to him and confront him verbally at night in the dark, and if he panicks and comes at you you legally have the right to shoot them dead". That's pretty messed up. There was not enough evidence presented to convict Zimmerman for 2DM, period. Based on what? People who are too scared to make simple confrontations with other people, are not people who volunteer to become a watchman. Or have certain interest in cop Work. | ||

B37 is the same juror planning to write the book, by the way. | ||

Within 5 years we're going to have at least 10 books on the subject. Post-secondary courses, too. Picture Trayvon Kenobi in a hoodie, telling Zimmerman, "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." | ||

If you're 65 yards from your home and you're concerned someone is following you, you go home. There is no point about profiling. There is no point about race. (Zimmerman being "black" by most definitions, as well, though he would generally be regarded as Hispanic) There is no point about gun laws, as Zimmerman's gun wasn't even drawn. There is no point about Self-Defense laws, as we have unimpeached testimony of Martin on top of Zimmerman swinging at him. From the information that we have confirmed, Martin waited for Zimmerman. Either openly or hidden. Considering the attendant physical evidence, it's safe to conclude that Martin escalated their interaction into a fight. And that got him dead. Thus, you keep walking home, if you're walking home. Which is why that's the only lesson you take from this case. | ||

I found this story interesting, of course, we never heard about it. Older black man, shoots 17 yr old white kid, when it was actually the black man who made the confrontation, something we will never know about the Zimmerman case. I guess we can loosely see what would have happened if the 'races' were reversed which the pundits seem to love hearing themselves say. tl;dr he was acquitted on self defense. | ||
