I believe that all but one of the women on the jury were Mothers. As such, there was reportedly a LOT of crying during parts of the trial. No one ever wants to even think about losing their sons or daughters. Still, they had to reach their verdict based on actual evidence, no matter how saddened they were by the whole ordeal.

I’m sorry but those 6 women couldn’t look at Trayvon as their son because he was black. Those women couldn’t put themselves in Sybrina’Fulton shoes and feel her pain and sorrow. Their mind was already made up.
God damn, I had fucking faith when I learnt six women had been selected. I didn’t care about their race. I knew they’ll be behind Trayvon’s mother. Most of them were mothers after all. They never empathized, nor sympathised enough to convict the killer of manslaughter.
I remember reading in the last thread that there was no way that Zims would be convicted with a jury of white women. I didn’t want to believe that bullshit. They were mothers they would understand. I was so fucking wrong. Anderson Cooper’s interview with one of the jurors confirmed what I suspected after the verdict; Trayvon Martin was guilty from the very first day of trial. That woman only felt sorry for Zims.
Now some of you are saying, the jury freeing FatmanBitch had got nothing to do with six white cough five white woman who couldn’t relate to a black kid?
Meh, that doesn’t surprise me.

So you are implying that mother’s due to their emotional bond with their children can’t think rationally and should side with their emotions over reason or intellectual capability?
MAYBE, maybe, JUST maybe those 6 women (5 were white btw and they were agreed on by the PROSECUTION) used their brains, reason, and logical deduction while looking at the evidence to come to a conclusions.
But I am sure you will come back with some nonsensical bullshit that says the prosecution was racist, etc etc. And if you can’t see the inherent racism in saying white mothers or black mothers can’t relate to each other as being maternal loving parents because of the differing colors, you are too far lost for anyone’s help. What about white couples who adopt black children? I guess they can’t understand those children or love them.
I will stop throwing reason and logical thinking at you now because all it seems to do is push you further into race filled delirium.
