We all have the right to state our opinions in this case.

And no, a bunch of people stating their opinions on the internet is not going to hurt Zimmerman's chances of getting a fair jury trial. If I believe Zimmerman is guilty as fuck, it doesn't matter whether I announce that on the internet or during jury selection - I'm not going to be on that jury. But they'll still manage to find enough people to seat a jury. Even if it means moving the trial to another location - which often happens in high-profile cases.

Besides, if they could find a jury for the Casey Anthony case - where virtually nobody was defending her prior - they'll manage to find enough unbiased people for Zimmerman.
