Two hours ago Zimmermans neighbor Frank Taaffe said that his inside sources have told him the jury is deadlocked with five of the six jurors voting to acquit.
The panel appeared stunned and took a sudden break. After an interview with Geraldo, the panel returned and basically said there was no way the neighbor could know that.
It will be interesting if this prompts an investigation.

(1,799 posts)The judge wouldn't even know this at this point in deliberations. There is nobody in that room but those 6 women jurors.
And this is the guy who made all the racist comments on twitter calling people "cotton pickers" and stuff. Credibility < 0

(243 posts)He started the interview calling out the judge on the panel saying that he was biased- but did not cite an example. He was asked if he ever talked to Zimmerman since the incident. He paused before he answered looking as though he wanted to choose his words carefully. Then he blurted out his idiotic statement.
I think he wanted to look big- he looked and sounded stupid.

(5,455 posts)if anyone has spoken to any of them about their deliberations it is grounds for a mis-trial and maybe even criminal charges for whoever spoke to these alleged "sources"

(966 posts)He got into a little bit of an argument with the correspondent Matt Gutman who stated facts by saying that Trayvon Martin didn't have any weapons. He smugly responded "He had these, he had these, Matty!" holding up his arms. I couldn't believe it...
He seemed like your typical far-right wing, white, older Conservative man who thinks they have everything figured out and know everything and everyone else is stupid.

Especially now. Was there a time when it was 5-1 ? And did someone compromise the integrity of the process?
