Prospective Juror G66

A retired white female from Chicago, G66 had a great mid-east accent and the courtesy, openness, and kindness to go with it. Often joking with both lawyers and laughing aloud, she still made sure to add a “sir” to every no or yes response. She indicated that she watches the news every day, and that she wrote the whole timeline of what happened on her questionnaire. She recalled seeing a picture of Martin with his hoodie on, and feeling sorry for him. She said she also felt sorry for Zimmerman when she say his injuries. Her recollection was that a neighbor called the police to report a “scuffle, and then she heard a shot.” Supporting the speculation that she based this recollection on having heard the Witness #11 911 recording, she said he heard the screams on the 911 call but has not decided who she thinks it is. She said she would base her conclusions on the facts in evidence at trial, and that she had not yet formed an opinion either way. She indicated that she could manage the issue of sequestration.

Prospective Juror H18

H18 is an hispanic mechanic that recently opened a shop. He says starting the business kept him so busy he didn’t have the time to follow the case. He believes the loss of income from not being at the shop during sequestration would be a severe hardship. Upon further questioning he conceded that his business “will still be there,” and he would survive. (Contrary to my guess in my tweet below, this prospective juror was not dismissed.)

Prospective Juror H29

H29, an older white man, was approved for the next round very quickly. Seems if you distrust the media enough you’re prime pickings for this jury. Says he doesn’t believe a word he hears from them, and so therefore knows no facts for certain about the case. Passed through without much fuss

Prospective Juror H35

H35 is a young white woman with self-professed social anxiety and few friends. She doesn’t listen to the news, instead picking up all relevant information about her community and life from Facebook. She admits to once liking a picture of Trayvon on Facebook but struggles to explain why, though she did give some vague reasoning that the post said you should like it if you’re not racist but not if you are.

Prospective Juror H81

H81 was in his 50s and perhaps of mixed race. He is a regular viewer of MSNBC, stated eloquently that, “The [evidentiary] rules of the court protect the presentation of the facts.” He was well aware that there are reasons why certain evidence is excluded and accepted that he would have to set aside information he knew outside the court.

This guy has 2 HOA suits before Nelson.

From LI:

H69 was a possibly Hispanic woman who likes to read the Wall Street Journal and gets her information from almost nowhere else. She said she recalls so little about the case that she didn’t even remember the names Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman until she came to jury duty.She remembers seeing the faces of both Martin and Zimmerman on TV screens on occasion and recalls a friend saying the media misrepresented Trayvon’s age when they used old images.

Other than this one conversation she says she recalls absolutely no other mentioning of the case with family or friends. A rare find indeed for a juror. H69 happily announced she is pregnant with her first child, a baby girl. She is extremely concerned about sequestration and says it would be very emotionally difficult for her family, who she says packs the room at her sonogram appointments, to miss such a long period with her. Later, though, she said that she could be sequestered so long as she still had an acceptable amount of contact with her family.

Prospective Juror I5

I5 is a black man in his 50's who watches CNN. He watched HLN briefly but switched away after deciding they were "out of control" and like to "glorify" the news for their own interests. He said their way of reporting the news is "not right." He commented that HLN seemed to have prosecuted Zimmerman before he had his day in court.
