Thread #2

Today, June 12th is DAY #3 of the scheduled State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case. Continuing jury selection. The “Frye Hearing” is expected to continue at the conclusion of the jury selection. One of the Defense experts, Dr. James Wayman, was unable to complete testimony on Saturday 6/8/13. His testimony is anticipated to refute state expert Tom Owen.

There is some really good statistical probability discussion in the prior day’s threads as both DiwataMan and John Galt continue to monitor the race and ethnicity of the jury pool. Given the nature of the Seminole County population at large, the absence of Hispanic potential jurists, and the high number of Black potential jurists, is quite an odd statistical anomaly. A few members of the media have also taken note of this. What’s factually causing the skew is unknown – But one thing is certain, it is statistically impossible for the current make-up of the “potential jurists” to be random; Meaning something, or some process, is skewing the ethnic and racial make-up of the public who received jury duty notifications. We’ll continue to monitor this aspect – it is very intriguing.
