Catching a little of the live stream on ABC between conference calls.  Please speak up, Ms. Rachel Jeantel!!! :angry:
CREEPY ASS CRACKA

I'd like to claim that title for Languish, in case you haven't already done so.

Look at how many civil court shows, police/court procedurals there are on tv.  It shouldn't be that surprising.

Yeah, but that fiction.  It's like the difference between watching "Black Hawk Down" and watching Siege policing up the barracks.

A mate of mine said when they were on exercise in Norway with Americans, when it was the Yanks turn to mount guard duty, the British guys generally 'hid' from their trigger happy allies. :P

So, I haven't been following this much, but at the outset my instinct was that this was Zimmerman & Co.'s trial to lose... the knock-knock shit seems more than a little dubious, but second-degree murder beyond a reasonable doubt still seems like an awful big stretch.  Did they agree on lesser-includeds?  I wouldn't be surprised if the jury tries to split the difference by coming back with a manslaughter, or just mistrials after a few days.

I think a mistrial/hung jury is inevitable.  I don't see how they can unanimously say he's guilty of second degree murder, yet I I'd be shocked if the black juror votes to acquit.

They called it ethnic vote.

C'mon now.  It's the same demographic that watches soap operas.  What else do you want them to do with their time?

Anyway, it sounds like I missed some pure TV gold while I was out of it and/or sleeping today.  Ms. Jeantel claimed she couldn't read cursive, told the defense attorney "That's real retarded, sir" (see video below), and said that calling someone a "creepy-ass cracker" isn't offensive.

I'm sure her court nails still looked nice.

If asking what we are betting is invalid, then I'm not making a wagering. :lol:

Figured it was implicit.  Just a straight-up bet on how the black juror votes.
