CNN: Zimmerman prosecutor excused potential black juror for being a Fox News watcher

[Little-Acorn]

Once again, the truth starts to come out:

Zimmerman was denied a fair trial because of the hysteria, fear and hatred of liberals.

And Zimmerman was acquitted anyway.

CNN: Zimmerman Prosecutor Excused Potential Black Juror for Being a Fox News Watcher

George Zimmerman haters throughout the media have carped and whined about the fact that there weren’t any African-Americans on the jury despite the law requiring the accused NOT the victim be judged by his peers.

On CNN Newsroom Tuesday, it was revealed that a potential black juror had been struck by the prosecution for committing the crime of being a Fox News watcher (video follows with transcript and commentary):

CAROL COSTELLO, HOST: So Mark, do Trayvon Martin's parents you think, I mean, when they look at the jury makeup and they look at the decision that jury came to, do they say why didn't we have an African-American on the jury? Why did we have six white women?

MARK NEJAME, CNN LEGAL ANALYST: And that's what we were saying from the beginning. You know, sometimes I've been criticized by some who don't understand that a legal opinion is very different than a personal, a social, or a philosophical opinion. When you look at the composition of Seminole County, it's eleven percent African-American. And when you look at Sanford, it’s 30 percent African-American. So when you subtract Sanford from the overall Seminole County, you have, you know, a very, very small minority, specifically African-American representation within Seminole County. So when in fact you condense that down to a jury, the odds of getting an African-American on the jury are very slim when you're in Seminole County.

COSTELLO: Although if I remember correctly one of the prosecutors struck a black, a potential black juror from the jury.

MICHAEL SKOLNICK, POLITICAL DIRECTOR TO RUSSELL SIMMONS, CO-PRESIDENT GLOBALGRIND.COM: Yeah, he was also, I was just, he was also a Fox News watcher. So that was, you know, problematic for the prosecution.

In case you were wondering, Skolnick is not a Zimmerman supporter or a conservative.

 

[FireFly]

Yes - They knew they had no case so they helped make the jury all white so they could blame them for not convicting GZ.

 

[TemplarKormac]

I mean really, you think Zimmerman was a racist, turns out the prosecutor is the racist.

Oh you, you are so freaking funny!

 

[nodoginnafight]

why would anyone want an indoctrinated juror?

why would anyone want an indoctrinated juror?

Normally, the prosecution would have wanted to have black jurors, you know to be fair and balanced. But they hurt their own case by having an all white jury.

I would think indoctrination would be more harmful than skin color.
But that's just me.

That was a directive from Obama and Holder

And what has the media done, namely the big contingent of Liberal networks?

Indoctrinate. Zimmerman racist. Martin angel. No justice, no peace.
