Zimmerman Trial

"...the whole truth, and nothing but the truth"

In case you haven't had time to watch the Zimmerman trial proceedings at Sanford, FL, the court is using a binary form of voire dire (jury selection) where they are 'screening' each prospective juror prior to placing them into a final selection pool.

I have long believed that this trial is more about Florida's "concealed carry" and "stand your ground" laws than it is about George Zimmerman. There are several good reasons why I believe that.

Last Thursday's screening of prospective juror "E-81",  shed some light on the prosecution's charade—for those who caught it.

The courtroom cameras that are filming the proceedings don't spend much time on the prosecution's side of the room, but one of them just happened to be focused on Special Prosecutor Angela Corey as prospective juror "E-81", being questioned by Lead Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda at the time, started telling the court about her appreciation of her right to bear arms.

Audio excerpt of prospective juror's testimony:


When Special Prosecutor Angela Corey (pictured below), who had been looking down at her lap, heard "E-81" start talking about the benefit of people being free to bear arms, Corey rolled her eyes up and glared at the prospective juror.

Is this a look of shock, contempt—or conviction?
