Juror:" Zimmerman went too far, but his heart was in the right place!"

[MoonRiver]

OMG, OMG, OMG!

1. Actually she called him "Georgie."

[MoonRiver]

4. Really? Well, that says a lot!

[WinkyDink]

2. "Went too far" would suggest he be found guilty.

[appleannie1]

3. What heart?

[enough]

5. Could you indicate where and when this was said, by which juror? Thanks. (nt)

[MoonRiver]

7. It was a juror interviewed by Anderson Cooper.

Her face was blacked out and she didn't reveal her name.

6. Just afollowin' the law, was these here jurors!

Tra la la.

8. Is it possible to overturn a jury verdict when it

becomes clear from the juror's own statements that the decision was made on the wrong grounds?

[alcibiades_mystery]

9. No, not an acquittal

That's the way it should be, too, but at least we don't have to entertain the absurdist arguments that these jurors were simply following the law. I mean, the Zimmerman supporters can continue to make those arguments, but they've been revealed for the trash they are. The arguments, that is.

[MoonRiver]

10. Nope. Not in the USofA. Italy, yes.

Edit: It could be overthrown, I believe, if a conviction occurred. But when found innocent, the accused can never be tried again for the same crime, regardless of how stupid and/or biased the jury was.

[whatchamacallit]

11. Unbelievable...

[onehandle]

13. Reminds me of when Free Republic called McVeigh 'That poor railroaded boy.'

They thought his 'heart was in the right place' too.

[MoonRiver]

14. I think this means his "heart" was in the same place theirs are.

And that place is totally dark.

[reflection]

15. As opposed to Tryavons heart,

which was splattered all over the ground.

16. I remember a Rodney King trial juror going on Larry King live. Her identity was hidden

but she gave away she was a racist. I believe one of the quotes was, "those people with their drugs and crime, we don't want that here." Here being Simi Valley I guess. She was an older lady and had kind of a southern accent.

I guess having a police force in L.A. made up of armed goons makes her safer in her town. You'd think someone like her would had to have lied during jury selection to get on the jury. Sounds like we had some of the same on Zimmerman's jury.
