I'd just like to put this out here as well to all the people crying that the jury was 5 white people and 1 puerto rican.
"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed."
-Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution
In determining fit jurors who are impartial, there is a process called "voire dire". In this process, BOTH attorneys, meaning Zimmermans defense, AND the State of Florida's attorneys question the jurors to determine if they hold an biases, if anyone feels the juror is biased, they may challenge the appointment of the juror and the court will determine wether or not the challenge is legitimate. In a pool of 50+ jurors, any challenged juror is usually cut loose immediately.
Sparknotes for the moronic, idiotic, and indolent youth of today:
THE PROSECUTION QUESTIONED THE JURORS FOR BIASES AND AGREED UPON THE JURY THAT WAS CHOSEN.
