Zimmerman Trial

My day to day life is affected when the media gets involved with a case, and makes it so I have to hear about every minute of the day.  So I'm sharing the love.

its just saying that everyone is missing the point with this trail. It shoul be about doing something about stand your ground laws and how flawed they are. If a man punches you in a bar you can shoot and kill him and say you're life was threatened an probably get away with it. It's not a well written and plan out law. Why focus on the social dispute when it's clearly a probably with the .politics. in florida

The laws are fine as they stand.  Take gun laws, remember when they tried to pass even more regulations on them recently.  We didn't need those.  We had enough as it is.  In fact, if they enforced said gun regulations that we already have, they would see that too.  But NO.

Profiled. That's the problem here.

Now apparently a Juror b37 may have been influenced while visiting her family during the trial. Which is against protocol, unsupervised meetings with families may provide biased opinion.

Turns out her hubby was writing a book on the case:

And, it turns out, there is evidence to find that jury tampering did happen, as Juror B37 discussed in her aborted book deal:

The potential book was always intended to be a respectful observation of the trial from my and my husband’s perspectives…

Her husband holding a perspective strong enough to write a book on the subject, given unsupervised access during the trial to his wife on the jury. Juror B37 has also admitted that the decision was reached with information not presented at the trial itself.

This is a siren bell warning of jury tampering. And this is but one juror, how much was discussed with the other jurors. The failure to supervise has now resulted in a potential legal nightmare for the state of Florida, which can be held liable for failing to properly ensure an untampered jury. Add to it the money that juror B37 could anticipate from such a book deal, which would be worth far more if given a not-guilty verdict than otherwise, and we are looking at a potential post-trial jury payoff negotiated through the husband.

And the concerns over Juror B37 are far older than that apparent after the trial. In watching her jury interview, one finds a very concerning pattern. As discussed by legal expert Gail Brashers-Krug, a former federal prosecutor and law professor and who is currently a criminal defense attorney in Iowa:

She really wants to be a juror. She seems to be going out of her way to minimize the disruptive effect of a multiweek trial on her life. Jurors rarely do that. She is also taking pains to avoid saying anything particularly sympathetic to either side. Both sides tend to be very skeptical of jurors who are particularly eager to serve on high-profile cases. Often they have their own agendas, or are attention-seekers.

We find a juror with their own agenda, who managed to sneak her way onto the jury, with unsupervised access to an element harboring their own viewpoint and opinion, and who aimed to profit off of a non-guilty verdict. She had the means, by having access to her husband unsupervised. She had the motive, by profiting off of a book deal. And she had the opportunity by being on the jury in the first place.

Jury tampering is a third degree felony in Florida, punishable by up to five years in prison. But with a man who would cover up a tuberculosis outbreak in charge of ensuring the judicial process is followed, it is highly doubtful a real investigation into jury tampering will happen in Florida.
