Showing Original Post only (View all)Everyone that is congratulating the jurors for following the Judge's instructions... psssst, c'mer [View all]
On CNN just now, anonymous juror speaking with Anderson Cooper.
AC asks her whether it made any impact on her when police officer Chris Serino testified that he thought Z was being truthful?
Her response? "It did. It made a BIG impact."
Now, for those paying attention: what part of Serino's testimony did Judge Nelson tell the jurors to disregard?
Anyone?
ETA: verbatim quote from AC360 for those who need it:
AC: "So, when he (Serino) testified that he found George Zimmerman to be more or less overall truthful, did that make an impression on you?
Juror: "It did. It did. It made a BIG impression on me."

It always is, imo, when the jury is told to disregard something they have already seen...

Yes, I have no doubt O'Mara knew and also knew the question was completely inappropriate...

So...they didn't base the verdict on evidence. The verdict was based on a guy's opinion.
