56. The defense team for bigoted, gun lover Zimmerman would have excluded me from my written responses.

Further questioning would not be necessary.

I don't care what happened after Zimmerman got out of his car -- as far as I am concerned, he was guilty the minute he identified the unarmed, Black teen as "suspicious," and grabbed his gun.

Unfortunately, I suspect that at least one bigoted, gun loving juror will be selected, and may well hang the jury.

I bet a few bigoted gun nuts end up on jury. Hoyt Jun 2013 #4

As opposed to those that think he's guilty premium Jun 2013 #10

Nope. Just talking about those like Zimmerman -- bigoted bullies who loves their guns Hoyt Jun 2013 #14

So you're not ok with gun owners on the jury, premium Jun 2013 #15

I hope the jury is fair. I think fairness will tick off most gun cultists. Hoyt Jun 2013 #22

Six jurors in Florida criminal cases. Nimajneb Nilknarf Jun 2013 #24

There's only 6 jurors on a jury in FL? nt. premium Jun 2013 #25

Didn't know that. premium Jun 2013 #28

cool answer. +1 graham4anything Jun 2013 #29

Yes, just the kind of answer one might give in order to be certain of being ejected from the jury Nimajneb Nilknarf Jun 2013 #31

the cool answer remark was specific to Hoyt's response, not to the juror(in case it wasn't clear) graham4anything Jun 2013 #32

Hoyt's responses, and yours, would surely exclude both of you from the jury for cause. Nimajneb Nilknarf Jun 2013 #35

My writing here would most definitely exclude me because I think he is guilty(and I am juror #8)LOL graham4anything Jun 2013 #36

Your opinion that he is guilty is not really the issue, graham4anything. There probably will be Nimajneb Nilknarf Jun 2013 #38

and also the fact that I an not in NJ. In 99.999% of cases, I could be very fair. This one? IDK graham4anything Jun 2013 #42

I definitely would be excluded from jury. As far as I am concerned, the moment Zman grabbed his gun Hoyt Jun 2013 #40

To be excused from any jury you need only say "I've made up my mind and it cannot be changed." Nimajneb Nilknarf Jun 2013 #45

Your scenario only works on Jenoch Jun 2013 #49

It can work on any trial. One can say "I think the defendant is guilty because of how he looks." Nimajneb Nilknarf Jun 2013 #50
