9:35 a.m.
The juror says he remembers that Zimmerman was involved in “some sort of community watch.” He remembers seeing that Martin was returning home from the story and had bought candy “before the exchange.” “I don’t have enough facts to make a value judgment,” adding that he says he is not trying to “apply for the job as juror.”

The juror says he has limited discussions about the case with people.

The juror says serving would be a big inconvenience, but he could serve.

Defense attorney Mark O’Mara begins questioning at 9:31 a.m.

The judge asks the courtroom who has a phone one. No one answers, but she warns everyone to turn their phones to vibrate.

9:25 a.m.
Juror H-81 says he does not remember seeing any photographs, but has heard commentary about a 911 call recording. He says the media reported expert opinions about the recording, but it did not form an impression on him.

“I remember that it was and remains to be a fairly high profile case, meaning that it’s polarized a group of people…” he said.

He says he did form an impression based on what was happening in the community and refers to the Martin and Zimmerman family.

Juror H-81 says he may have read some posts on Facebook, and gets most of his information online, mentioning CNN and MSNBC.

The juror says “you’d have to live under a rock to now know about the case.”

9:40 a.m.

The juror says he has served as a juror before. The juror says he has wondered what happens to jurors after high-profile cases.

O’Mara explains that the jurors are anonymous and information will stay that way for “some period of time afterwards.”

The juror says that does address his concern.

Juror H-81 says he could serve without being influenced by outside pressures.

O’Mara finishes questioning at 9:40 a.m. and the attorneys enter sidebar with Judge Nelson.

The reason a neighborhood watch was formed?

She "knows Martin was NOT the young child exposed by the media"


The Crump-ism...

Thanks for doing all of this, Rumpole - much appreciated!

Juror H-69 says death is a fact of life. She says she has been on a leave of absence from work and not heard anything about the case recently.

This potential juror acts like she knows nothing, and she seems to be truthful ...so far.

Kathi Belich, WFTV
H69 is five and a half months pregnant with her first child.. And sequestration would be a hardship. The state joked that what everyone in court would like to know is if it's a boy or girl. She smiled and said it's a girl!!

West first expanding on the hardship issue.

BDLR hates that! Specially where she's overheard that the photo of TM that has been shown many time was not a recent photo.

10:30 a.m.
Juror H-69 says she knows when her next two doctor’s appointments are.

West questions further about the pictures she saw.

“I’m skeptical,” she says about what she sees in the media.

She says her church pastor mentioned someone lost their life in a sermon focused on life. The sermon wasn’t focused on what happened.



10:18 a.m.
Juror H-69 says she is not leaning either way in the case. She says her family doesn’t talk about the case. She says she only knows one person shot the other, but not why.

Rionda asks her if serving on the jury would be a hardship. She says her employer would pay her, but she is pregnant and being away from family would be hard.

West begins questioning her at 10:18 a.m.
