More incredible things Juror B37 said on CNN!!

50. She was very confused about fitting Stand Your Ground law with Manslaughter law.

This juror said that Zimmerman had gone too far. He didn't use good judgment. She made the case for manslaughter. But then, she said that Zimmerman had the right to defend herself. Clearly, the prosecution did not make clear why the jurors should view Zimmerman as doing something unlawful, why, in this case, Zimmerman was the aggressor. That was the fault of the prosecution. Seems to me. The prosecution seems to have failed in explaining why Zimmerman was not exonerated by the Stand Your Ground law.

The juror seemed confused by that fact. She could not reconcile the manslaughter law with the Stand Your Ground law. The prosecutor should have clarified that in his closing argument. Apparently, the prosecutor did not point out that Zimmerman made the decision to follow Trayvon Martin and that it was that decision that was the aggression. Perhaps the prosecutor did not see it that way.

Further, I think the prosecutor erred big time in presenting the videos of Zimmerman telling his story. He should have left that out and forced Zimmerman to decide either to testify and face cross-examination or not have his story told in his voice. That was downright stupid on the prosecutor's part -- unless he really did not want to convict.

I don't want to live anywhere near Zimmerman. I sure hope he doesn't move to California. I don't think he would like it here.
