George Zimmerman haters throughout the media have carped and whined about the fact that there weren’t any African-Americans on the jury despite the law requiring the accused NOT the victim be judged by his peers.
On CNN Newsroom Tuesday, it was revealed that a potential black juror had been struck by the prosecution for committing the crime of being a Fox News watcher (video follows with transcript and commentary):

In case you were wondering, Skolnick is not a Zimmerman supporter or a conservative.
For good and bad...you are not really tried in front of a 'group of your peers' you are tried in front of the people who live around you...from all races, religions, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Were the prosecuting because they were leftists, or because they are prosecutors assigned to the case Hmmmm.....hmmmmmm.....which could it be, which could it be.......

It's obvious they did this due to Lefty bias...OBVIOUS! The people who put the state up to these shenanigans are ALL leftists. They did this to placate their masters.
To get selected for jury duty, I think you have to be a registered voter and not have a criminal record. Maybe the available blacks could not pass the minimum to get in the jury pool anyway.
This is a real problem in some towns because the same people keep getting picked for jury duty due to the limited pool of qualified jurors. I would hate to be called more than once every few years.
Oh balls, you know the prosecutors and defense can do that, right? They can dismiss with or without cause, right?
You obviously are missing the point.
