She sounds nice and sincere, could have made big bucks - this is free;
Said they had trouble understanding and finding evidence, very frustrating. They knew nothing of GZ's backround, life, etc...grand juries find out bad stuff and good stuff about victim and accused....
Florida gave them ballots they couldn't fill out properly.
to vote. Ever since they've had Repubican governors (Jeb) that state is totally mixed up, and the politicians like it that way so that they could put anything over on them...

(22,000 posts)I heard her husband is a lawyer. With only six jurors, someone will figure out and leak who she is.

(10,044 posts)they have phrases they don't think are bad. As an old girl, in my mind, black people will be colored (sort of secretly), because that's what we learned back in the 40's. No insult, just ignorance. They did not become "blacks" till way after, and living in the north, I learned to adapt.

The jurer quoted almost verbatim the things that O'Mara said about Rachel.

(50,326 posts)sometime Sunday and after getting the referral from a "high ranking producer at one of the morning shows." The verdict came in later Saturday evening and this juror had immediate access to this "high ranking producer" to get his referral for a literary agent. Timing is interesting, for sure.
"The juror contacted Martin on Sunday, referred by a high ranking producer at one of the morning shows."

(53,776 posts)And her husband is a lawyer and knows zimmy's lawyers.
Ohhh, that's how that happened.
She was in negotiations, at least her husband was, during deliberations.
What a scumbag, she couldn't wait to get out of that jury room to cash in. I heard the first polling of the jury was 3 not guilty (she was one of those), 2 for manslaughter and 1 for second degree murder.
Bet she was the main one pushing to change the other's minds.
