Who are the George Zimmerman trial jurors?

B-29 is a Hispanic woman from Chicago who moved to Seminole County four months ago. She said in questioning that she doesn't pay attention to the news and knows little about the case. She works in a nursing home and has eight children.

B-76 is a white, middle-aged woman. She has lived in Seminole County since 1995 and has been married for 10 years. She has two children. Her passion is rescuing animals. She has no prior jury service. She said she remembers hearing about the case and seeing Zimmerman's injuries, but she has not formed an opinion.

B-37 is a middle-aged white woman who has lived in Seminole County for 18 years. She has two daughters in their 20s. She said she watches NBC mostly, and only uses the newspaper for her bird cage. "I think it was an unfortunate incident that happened," she said.

B-51, a retired white woman, has been in Seminole County since 1987. She is single with no children. She doesn't believe Zimmerman was doing anything wrong by being active in neighborhood watch. She is aware of the controversy over whose voice was on the 911 call.

Maybe the prosecution is throwing the case. I would say the overcharging may also be in Zs favor.
