SANFORD, Fla. -- Six women return to a Florida courtroom on

Saturday morning to begin their first full day deliberating the

future of George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer who is

charged with murdering Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teenager.



The jury deliberated for about 3 1/2 hours on Friday before

breaking for the night. Jurors will return to the courtroom at 9

a.m. to resume their effort to reach a unanimous verdict.





This jury composition is interesting. The defense had to assume that

women would have an intense fear of the sort of crime Zimmerman claims

had been rampant in the neighborhood and would find Zimmerman's

suspicion of a 6'2" hoodie-wearing youth stranger to be reasonable. The

prosecution had to believe that the women would maternally gush over the

pictures of the 12-year-old Traycon and focus on the candy and soft

drink. One side badly miscalculated, but which?



I'll say this much - the prosecution's star witness, Rachel the Hutt,

didn't help them.





She was an excellent witness. The problem the defense had with her is

that she's much smarter than the defense attorneys.



She speaks three languages . . . which is two or three more than you.



She was not cowed by the defense attorney who thought he could

browbeat her into changing her story.



Your description of her as "Rachel the Hutt" tells us all we need to

know about you.



For sure.



As does his continued pushing of the totally erroneous and discredited

6 foot 2 inches meme.



He hates her because her hearing Zimmerman confront and

attack Trayvon

She didn't hear that. She heard Traycon confront, assault and begin to beat on Zimmerman. That's what she heard.
