As of late, the trial of Florida
resident George Zimmerman has been circulating through several news outlets. It
was announced that his jury would be composed of all women. To some this may
seem unfair due to the theory that most women work off of emotion, rather than
rationality. Although I do not necessarily believe this to be true, it has been
a topic of discussion. Another element to the Zimmerman trial is the fact that
none of the jurors are black. Race has been a major part of the Trayvon Martin
case and it makes you wonder if leaving out someone of African American decent
was done intentionally or was just a simple unpremeditated occurrence. It
really does spark curiosity. What made them go this route? With such a high
profile, racially charged case as this one, you would think they would have at
least one black person. Either way, the
Zimmerman camp approved of the jury and the trial will officially begin on
Monday. Every man is entitled to a fair trial, and I am interested to see how
George Zimmerman’s legal team holds up against several pieces of evidence that
seem to say that the situation was less of a self-defense case, but more of a
flat out murder case. The
news coverage of this trial is far from over; America will be watching how
these women handle the fate of one man’s life in their hands.
