Shit fucked up
The Zimmerman Trial: Justice for Trayvon! (Let's discuss it)
- Thread starter code_pirahna
- Start date
A mere two days after finding George Zimmerman innocent of the murder of Trayvon Martin, juror B37 in the case has signed on with a prominent literary agent, as a prelude to a book deal. This juror is a woman who hates the media and went into the trial mistakenly believing there were "riots" over the case.
The video above is the entire voir dire of juror B37— the process during which the attorneys question prospective jurors to determine their suitability. During the questioning, the juror, a mother of two who owns "a lot" of animals, revealed the following things:
- She dislikes the media in general and considers it worthless. "You never get all the information... it's skewed one way or the other."
- "I don't listen to the radio" or read the internet, she said. Her only news about the case came from the Today show. "Newspapers are used in the parrot's cage. Not even read," she said. "It's been so long since I even read one. The only time I see em is when I'm putting them down on the floor."
- During questioning, she referred multiple times to "riots" in Sanford after Trayvon Martin was killed. "I knew there was rioting, but I guess [the authorities] had it pretty well organized," she says at one point. In fact, despite a great deal of salivating anticipation by the media both before and after the trial, there were no riots in Sanford, Florida.
- She referred to the killing of Trayvon Martin as "an unfortunate incident that happened."
- Asked by George Zimmerman's attorney to describe Trayvon Martin, she said, "He was a boy of color."
Juror B37 found George Zimmerman not guilty. Her book will surely make her a lot of money.

The black chick for the defense Channa Lloyd was working for FREE as an unpaid intern wow...
This trial showed me one thing If I ever was in law I could not be a defense attorney ...a 34 year old intern???
on fb page her status update read closure well safe to say she is not talking about the Martin family
people have some interesting comments
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Channa-Lloyd/147898088603830
Closure....
First, I wouldn't want a lawyer who just after the verdict updates her Facebook page. She needs to mature more in that area.
Second, closure is truly one of the worst comments she could have typed. Closure for who? George? He is free. You don't know what happen that night. You have to believe his story, lies and holes. Closure for the Martin family? Their son died unarmed, not committing a crime. Wow, typing closure after a death case, truly a bad look for this woman. If I was a member of the defense team I would tell her "take that post down". She is fucking someone on that team, believe me. You won, but be respectful in the win and don't forget a kid still is dead. You defended the man who pulled the trigger on an unarmed kid. We have to start having better and higher standards in our women.
Some comments are saying selling out, uncle tom, I'm NOT going that far. I just see a woman who has to mature lots more in the law field, maybe even her personal life. A black woman typing closure when another black woman lost her son ...... disrespectful to the utmost, especially right after the verdict. Truly ugly, no makeup, law degree, looks, professionalism can hide ugly.
Who is Mo Ivory?
And I'm saying, fuck this bitch and her whole worthless family lineage.
Folks don t want to admit......
this was the Jim Crow South alive and well......
Racist town .....
Good ole boy police network who botched it and let him go 44 days without an arrest...
Defendant a good ole boy....who s daddy was a judge...
All white jury.....
easily against Trayvon...

There are moments in history that you do not want to be on the wrong side of.
This strikes me as one of them.
She made a choice, and the words 'closure' say a lot about why she may have chosen to be a part of the team as an intern.
Frankly, there are black people who feel like it's better to Tom and be in the white man's good graces, than to stand for something and 'suffer' with the folks being oppressed and ostracized.
For me, this woman is now a member of the "Super Coon Hall Of Fame".
bruh...she's 34.....she aint a kid....
We were fighting against tremendous odds from the beginning & the fight will continue. Its not over yet.
Bruh, she's no different than women we label gold diggers cause they get impregnated by athletes or sell themselves out on BBW, LHH, ROH_ etc...she saw an opportunity to increase her profile & set her future and she pounced on it. She's just as bad as them other attention whores & for that...she'll have to live with the consequence of being on the wrong side of her color's history.

Five Moments That May Have Led to George Zimmerman's Acquittal
Only the six female jurors know for certain what testimony or evidence convinced them to acquit George Zimmerman of murder charges in the death of Trayvon Martin, but there were key moments in the trial that appeared to undermine the prosecution's case for conviction. Here are five of them.
Chris Serino was the lead investigator looking into the shooting of Martin and initially urged the Sanford, Fla., prosecutor to charge Zimmerman with manslaughter, a recommendation that was rejected.
Serino was called to the stand by the prosecution and was expected to be a key witness against Zimmerman. In his "just-the-facts" style of answering questions, Serino was repeatedly questioned by the prosecution and defense about Zimmerman's version of what happened that night. But in a surprise, the investigator was asked by Zimmerman's lawyer whether he believed Zimmerman was telling the truth, and the cop answered, "Yes."
The next day the prosecution asked that the jurors be directed to disregard Serino's comment and the judge agreed, but the damage may have been done.
John Good was another prosecution witness whose words may have helped Zimmerman more than the prosecution. Good lived near where the fatal shot was fired and appeared to have had the best view of the brief fight between Zimmerman and Martin.
Good testified that he saw what he believed to be Martin on top of Zimmerman. "The color on top was dark and the color at bottom was…red," Good said referring to the men's clothing. At another point he told the court that the person on the bottom had "lighter skin color."
Zimmerman is a white Hispanic who was wearing a red and black jacket that night. Martin, who was black, was wearing a dark sweatshirt.
"The person on the bottom, I could hear a 'Help,'" Good said.
Under cross examination by Zimmerman's lawyer, Good said he believes he saw Martin on top punching Zimmerman "MMA style," a reference to mixed martial arts.
"The person on top was ground and pounding the person on the bottom?"asked Zimmerman attorney Mark O'Mara.
"Correct," said Good
Rachel Jeantel was Trayvon Martin's friend who was talking with him on a cell phone until just moments before Martin was killed. She told the jury that Martin was scared of a "creepy a** cracker" who was following him and just before losing contact with Martin said she heard him say, "Get off. Get off."
But under a grueling cross examination by Zimmerman's lawyer Don West Jeantel conceded that it was difficult to hear what Martin was saying and that she did not know who threw the first punch when Zimmerman and Martin came face to face.
"The last thing you heard was something hitting somebody?" West asked her.
"Trayvon got hit," Jeantel said.
"You don't know that, do you?" the defense lawyer said.
"No sir," she said.
"You don't know that he didn't take his fist and drive it into Zimmerman's face do you?" the lawyer pressed.
"No sir," Jeantel replied.
Renowned forensics expert Vincent Di Maio may have been one of Zimmerman's strongest witnesses. He told the jury that the pattern of powder burns and other forensic evidence on Martin's body indicated that the teenager's sweatshirt was two to four inches away from his body at the time he was shot, meaning that Martin was leaning forward over Zimmerman when he was killed.
"The medical evidence is consistent with his [Zimmerman's] statement," Di Maio told the Florida court.
The words of Trayvon Martin's father were also used to undermine the prosecution's case. A key battle in the trial was over who was heard screaming for help in the background of a 911 call before the fatal shot was fired. Martin's family insisted the voice was their son's voice, while Zimmerman's parents told the court it was Zimmerman screaming.
Serino testified that when Martin's father, Tracy Martin, first heard the tape he said it was not Trayvon. "He looked away and under his breath said, 'No,'" Serino told the court.
A second police officer gave a similar description of Tracy Martin's reaction to the tape.

There is not a single reason to worry about this bitch, she got 2 daughter and i put my money where my mouth is they got it coming. let her believe that mommy and her "WHITE" daughters are immune from this because now they belong to the group, they're moment is coming and i have the feeling is not gonna be pretty.
And cats thought it was because of a bad prosecution....
shit could have been skin tight and with folks like her on the jury....trayvon didn t stand a chance....that is the Amerikkka of today....
Same here.... except I also feel... I don't know (naive? stupid?) for thinking it could have went down any other way.
Shit is just sad.
Trust tha karma of that broads choice is gonna hit her 10 fold.She ain't like tha average oreo broad who hangs around cacs 24/7.She hangs around Black people and goes to Black functions.This is where shes gonna come face to face with her dumb ass decision.
Tha comments she getting on FB from Black people are gonna be a lot worse face to face especially a club(social and entertainment),BBQ,Bar,pool full of them.
Everywhere she goes shes gonna be reminded of that shit.
People who hang around her will drop out her life because they'll quickly grow tired of being associated with her actions just by being her friend.
She'll soon be a social outcast.Cacs ain't checking for her outside tha case so she fucked herself.

somebody posted this in the comment section...
Not surprising. People that are really into animals have always seemed to have a hard time feeling empathy for humans. Something I've noticed.
True that. She's probably one of those people who would run back into a burning building to save her hamster instead of her neighbor.
Despite outrage, federal charges uncertain in Zimmerman case
By Carol Cratty and Tom Cohen, CNN
updated 5:28 PM EDT, Mon July 15, 2013
Washington (CNN) -- In the emotional aftermath of the Trayvon Martin killing last year, Attorney General Eric Holder signaled the unlikelihood of filing federal hate crimes charges against admitted shooter George Zimmerman.
"For a federal hate crime, we have to prove the highest standard in the law," Holder said in April 2012, 45 days after Zimmerman shot the African American teenager in what was depicted by civil rights groups as a racially motivated killing.
In words that now sound prescient, Holder described to reporters that day how "something that was reckless, that was negligent does not meet that standard."
"We have to show that there was specific intent to do the crime with requisite state of mind," he said.
Zimmerman's acquittal of state murder and manslaughter charges on Saturday showed the Florida jury rejected that he intended to kill Martin for any reason, including the racial motivation necessary for federal charges that he violated Martin's civil rights.
The Department of Justice opened an investigation into the Zimmerman case last year, and a statement from the agency on Sunday said it was ongoing and will now include evidence and testimony from the Florida trial.
In a speech in Washington on Monday, Holder said the Justice Department would "continue to act in a manner that is consistent with the facts and the law" in examining what he called "the tragic, unnecessary shooting death of Trayvon Martin."
"Independent of the legal determination that will be made, I believe that this tragedy provides yet another opportunity for our nation to speak honestly about the complicated and emotionally charged issues that this case has raised," Holder said. "We must not - as we have too often in the past - let this opportunity pass."

she felt sorry for zimmerman lol
im done
im done
That is when you excuse yourself. Don't just say "fuck it" I'll cosign everyone else...someone's life is in your hands. Will her speaking out now affect the decision in anyway?
Let's see if Rachel is understandable during this interview. She got a pass from many of us and the black community as a whole. I would prefer she conduct herself the same way during the interview, because I will be pissed if she is clear now.
