(22,541 posts)Using blatant trickery to distract and confuse her over 2 days. It was obvious the minute he began to stand up when objecting and remained standing up. The judge had to chide him. Then the long list of phone calls that he read one by one and asked questions about, as if she'd know which 30-second call it was when Trayvon said something or where George was at 6:51:24-6:51:46. Or how to describe the sound of feet on wet grass. And the Jude chided him again.
I'm a woman and a mother. She's a big girl. But I wanted to wrap my arms around her and yell at him to stop it. I felt pride when she stood up to him. As a woman. So I think what he did erased the race issue. I'm white, but I do admit to being sensitive to people being bullied. I hate it. I'm also sensitive to his insinuations about race and intelligence and violence. That really pissed me off.
So, seems to me that George chose a team who thinks like he does. They might have been able to choose jurors just like them, too. I didn't see who their jury consultant was. We need to find that out, find out their statistics.
