Keep in mind the State has 10 peremptory challenges (as does the defense) they can use to exclude a prospective juror without having to state any cause whatever.
I expect E81 will get one of those with a ribbon tied around it.

@LawSelfDefense
What did E81 say?!?!?!?

FYI, I'll have great detail on E81's responses to questioning (as well as the other prospective jurors) when I do my wrap-up of the day. I'll post a brief message here when that goes live. Keep your eyes open for it.

@LawSelfDefense
Is this really that surprising? There are people like "E7" all over the place that will hide their true intentions to get what they want. We wouldn't need courts or lawyers if people like that guy didn't exist... Good on the defense team and judge for figuring him out.
Understood, that is why I stated I wondered if there was any chance she would make it & I agree (and laughed)
at your blue ribbon comment.

It would be nice to see him prosecuted for perjury. Or, as in my experience most judges would have done, at the very least held in criminal contempt and locked up until such time as the Judge's temper cooled down.

I know, I'm just impatient, and I can't stream it live.

You can follow my Twitter feed, I'm commenting on the whole thing in real time, probably send a tweet out every minute or two. That would give you a sense, at least , of how things are going.

Zimmerman Jury Selection -- Day Four Wrap-Up
Hey folks,
I just posted up the wrap-up for day four of jury selection in the Zimmerman case.
There were two notable events of the day.
The first was Judge Nelson's decision to sequester the jury for the duration of the trial. This decision clearly caught some of the prospective jurors off guard, creating considerable hardship for more than a few. On the other hand, several jurors had expressed concerns about their safety if their anonymity was not preserved, one that she would feel like she had a bulls-eye on her back.
On a practical note, it's unclear to me how they truly expect to remain anonymous. From the national public, sure. But nobody can realistically disappear from family and work for a two to four weeks without explaining what's up. It would seem the fact that they were a juror would inevitably get out--but maybe not until after the burning was over.
The second notable event was the questioning of E81. She looked de la Rionda straight in the eye and said she believed that Zimmerman should just go home, and that he had acted in defense of himself. When asked if he was going to have to perform "magic" to get her to change her mind she essentially told him he'd just have to do his job--work hard to convince her otherwise. (He acknowledged that the burden of proof was, indeed, on the State.)
She knew a great deal about the case. She recalled seeing the picture from Trayvon's phone of the mairjuana, and that he had gotten into trouble a few times. She had seen video of him refereeing a street fight, for sport, and believed that he was training to be a street fighter. She thought he might have been looking for a reason to fight that evening, that Trayvon became aware that he was under observation by Martin and that Trayvon had been the aggressor in the conflict.
A firm believer in gun rights and CCW, E81 said that the more guns there were out there in the hands of law abiding people, the safer it was. SHe believed that everyone who was not a felon or mentally unsound should be allowed to carry a gun.
There's more on this wonderful young woman, but you'll have to click over to the full wrap-up report, right here at Legal Insurrection, to read the rest.
Tomorrow we do another full day of live stream, all-day coverage of day two of jury selection. Be sure to join us.
Best,
Andrew

That's not really fair, no reason to post everything twice.
If you want short & sweet, here it is, if you want more, go to the other site.
Thanks for all the effort Andrew.
I was just giving him a hard time. It's all good
