Zimmerman Prosecution Excluded Black Juror From Trial For Being A 'Fox News Watcher'? (Videos)



By Susan Duclos In all the coverage of the George Zimmerman trial, where Zimmerman was charged with second degree murder for the death of Trayvon Martin, then the lesser charge of manslaughter was given to the jury to consider, both of which were rejected by a jury of six women when they rendered a not guilty verdict, one refrain has been heard consistently, "no blacks were on the jury." In the initial coverage, the mainstream media made a big deal out of that fact, reporting "The jurors, none of them black, include a Hispanic woman with eight children, an animal rescuer who once had a concealed-weapons permit, and a woman who said she had used Mr. Martin’s death as a cautionary example for her two adolescent children. Of the four alternates chosen for the case, two were men, and all were white. Nearly all of the jurors have children.
