Check in if you're a white person who thinks Zimmerman should have been convicted of something.... [View all]

Not only am I white, I am the same sex and age as most of the women on that jury. I would have held out until there was a hung jury for at least the lesser charge. Although I am white, I also think that the jury should have been much more diverse.

I pray for peace for Trayvon and his parents.
