    I don't get it. I'd like to read a book about what went on in that jury room. Why would that be so bad?

    Just because people wanted someone convicted for a crime he didn't commit?

    Stevie Wonder is boycotting Florida until the stand your ground law is abolished.

    FYI Stevie, that law wasn't even employed by the GZ defense...LOL

    Do some people not even pay attention to facts at all? What must be going through these folks minds? Black child eating Skittles killed! By a white guy (err...wait...I think he's hispanic, actually....by a WHITE HISPANIC!!)! The white guy is obviously guilty! The jury of women - they're all racists!!

    Why the **** not? They're the ones who get called away from their jobs and families to endure this nightmarish bull****. Now we want to ostracize them because the prosecution couldn't prove the case. We want to treat them as an extension of Zimmerman. I'll admit jurors should lay low after a case and not parade around peacocking as B37 has...but damn y'all need to leave them alone. They did what they had to do. The prosecution failed miserably. Open and shut case. This isn't fairytale law. This isn't a tv show where there's blood and semen everywhere to gain 100% convictions. Just sayin.

    Because that isn't how the system is supposed to work.

    Jurors shouldn't be bothered, but they also shouldn't be parading themselves around. They should remain as anonymous as possible.

    sarcasm detected but just in case not, this cocky mcswagsalot is an idiot. this is america and if a juror wants to make a deal so be it. i'm tired of the moral police and their bs. why don't the moral police respect the legal process and the jury of their peers?

    The trial is over, so I'm not sure what the point is in character assassination of either person at this juncture. Especially when you're pissing on a the grave of someone who can't stand up for themselves anymore. Seems kind of petty and distasteful.

    Weed and jewelry, meh. Also, isn't calling them "underage" kind of silly, since Martin himself is a minor? Anybody else see the irony in painting Martin in a bad light by having a picture of himself with a gun, when he was, you know, shot by someone else's gun and killed?

    So Skittles had child p*rnography on his phone? If he received the photos via phone, isn't that a federal charge?

    No matter how disgusting I find the antics of some posters around here, I sincerely hope nobody spits on their graves someday. Nobody deserves that, and it accomplishes nothing.

    the free market was coerced so as not to look like racists and feared the backlash

    If Martin was in fear, he should have called 911 and ran to the unit where he was staying. Instead he kept talking to Jeantel until he decided to set up an ambush and attack Zimmerman.

    And for the zillionth time - FOLLOWING SOMEONE IS NOT ILLEGAL, BUT ASSAULT IS.
