Bull .... if the law says it was not murder ... and she was simply following the law .... then she should keep that fat pie hole shut and not make such dastardly statements that "he got away with murder".
Enough of the PC BS already .... the truth about this nation's problems with racism is that it is not the white people who are the racists, in spite of decades of insinuations that ONLY white people can be racists.
She doesn't deserve your criticism here. Why is it so hard to understand that humans aren't robots? Her heart told it was murder but through a great deal of anguish she did what the law required her to do. Isn't that what many people on this forum have been saying for weeks before the end of the trial that you hoped the jury would put their emotions aside and vote according to evidence presented? We still have freedom of speech in this country and if she or any other jury member wants to talk about the process that took the jury from point A to point B it's their right. If jury deliberation wasn't an important part of the process they'd we'd just go with their first vote out of the gate and hang every single jury by doing so.

Yep. As far as her opinion or heart as she puts it. Its no better than anyone elses opinion, including you or I. Her only job was to follow the law, and sadly, she had to be friggin convinced to do so. She did her job, now she needs to shut it about her biased, race based opinion.

How is her opinion race based? Many white people feel the same, exact way---that Zimmerman got away with murder or manslaughter BUT that the jury had no other choice (given the laws in Florida) but to vote the way they did. Most if not all juries have a few members that have to be convinced. This jury had three---count them THREE, who had to be convinced to vote not guilty and the other two were WHITE.

Its a baseless opinion. Its meaningless because there is zero evidence of it. I see it as race based because what else is there to even lead you to think it was intentional murder? Nothing. If Zimmerman didn't have a mark on his body, I could see thinking it have been murder but a guy who watches over his community, pulls people from car wrecks, and tutored black kids is not suddenly a murderer

If the jury was able to see all the evidence that was surpressed, her opinion of GZ being a "murderer" may have changed.

I have never said it was murder. Manslaughter, yes. That's what the State should have gone after and what this jury member also indicated. Seems to me that the people here who are labeling this "racist" are very ones who are trying the hardest to make it racist when the facts don't bear that out. Are you forgetting the other two WHITE jury members who voted for manslaughter in their very first vote?

How about Trayvons own history? His twitter, phone, school record. That would give even more credibility to GZ being most likely right in what he did. Knowing what we do about Trayvon, there's every reason to believe he started a physical altercation

There are plenty of white folk who subscribe to the same racial views as people like Shatpton do.

Manslaughter was a lesser charge. She didn't go for that, either.
