2:27 p.m.
Judge Nelson says of the 12 gone through, the first eight were women. Judge Nelson says 2 out of four males have also been stricken. She says out of twelve people, eight are women, and statistically, that will happen.

Judge Nelson asks for the reasons for B-76.

De la Rionda says the concern is with the jurors question about Martin going to get candy. He says she also misidentified the victim’s mom.

O’Mara says because the juror knows a factoid should not be considered. He says it is probably the strongest pre-text reason.

Judge Nelson does not allow the state's peremptory strike for B-76. And the same for E-6.

Judge Nelson lists: B-29, B-76, B-37, B-51, E-6, E-40.

She asks for back strikes.

2:22 p.m.
O’Mara asks the state to address why they have stricken four white women in a row: B-12, B-76, B-86, E-6.

De la Rionda says B-12 was stricken for looking at the defense fund. He says she also has a warrant.

O’Mara responds saying the knowledge of a website is not enough.

Judge Nelson says the strike will remain.

De la Rionda says B-86 was stricken for hardship as she was a school worker and was thought to have made up her mind because the victim was expelled from school.

O’Mara says it is pre-textual in that what she said about Martin’s school status is not enough reason.

Judge Nelson says the court also understands the make-up of the jury pool.

De la Rionda says he believes B-86 is the only one that referenced the school records. She determines the strike is gender neutral.

De al Rionda says the Juror E-6 was concerned for her children. He says he’s concerned she will focus on the penalty aspect.

O’Mara says he’s concerned in the context of the strikes of all the women.

De la Rionda goes reads off the race and gender for the jurors being considered.

2:06 p.m.
De la Rionda moves to strike Juror P-67 for cause.

O’Mara objects saying he believe the juror was rehabilitated.

De la Rionda responds that the juror had to use his wife to write a letter, leading him to believe the juror would have a hard time.

Judge Nelson asks Zimmerman if he can hear.

De la Rionda continues referring to the letter. De la rionda says a combination of financial, family, and access to coverage outside the courtroom are factors.

O’Mara responds saying the language is a non-issue. O’Mara says the daughter talking about the coverage was not a violation. O’Mara says the hardship was vetted out yesterday.

Judge Nelson says Juror P-67 never indicated he couldn’t understand. She decides he will not be stricken for cause.
