Who-are-jurors-deciding-george-zimmerman-fate-here-look-at-panel-6-women

SANFORD, Fla. – The six women picked Thursday to serve on the jury in

George Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial come from different

backgrounds and they have varying knowledge about the case involving

the former neighborhood watch volunteer who claims self-defense in the

fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Here are some details they shared during two weeks of jury selection.

Their names will be released sometime after the trial, which could

last two weeks to a month after opening statements on Monday.

Race and ethnicity have played a prominent role in the case. While the

court did not release the racial makeup of the jury, the panel

appeared to reporters covering jury selection believed to be made up

of five white women and a sixth who may be Hispanic.

— B-51 is retired, not married and doesn't have kids. She has lived in

Seminole County for nine years. She has worked in real estate and run

a call center where she said she had experience resolving conflicts.

When asked if Zimmerman did something wrong by following Martin

instead of waiting for police, she said: "Yeah, I guess he did do

something wrong."

___

B-29 recently moved to central Florida from Chicago. She enjoys

watching the "Real Housewives" on television and works as a nurse on

an Alzheimer's section of a nursing home. She said she hadn't paid

much attention to the shooting. She said she has been arrested, but

her case was disposed of. It's not clear why she was arrested or

exactly what happened to her case, though she said she was treated

fairly. She is married and has several children. A prosecutor

described her as "black or Hispanic" during jury selection.

___

B-76 is a white woman who has lived in central Florida for 18 years.

She manages rental properties with her husband of 30 years. She has

two adult children, including one who is an attorney. She is involved

with rescuing animals in her free time. During jury selection, she

said she had been the victim of a nonviolent crime. "Everyone deserves

a fair trial," she said.

___

B-37 is a white woman who volunteers rescuing animals. She is married

to an attorney and has two adult children. She said she and her

husband used to have concealed weapons permits. During the last round

of questioning, she said she had an issue with the type of weapons

people are allowed to carry. She also thought weapons' training was

inadequate for people seeking permits. "It should become harder," she

said.

___

E-6 is a white woman who is married and has two children. She has

worked in financial services and has lived in Seminole County for two

years. She is active in her church and involved with her children's

school. During jury selection, she said she didn't know the facts of

the case well.

___

E-40 is a white woman who works as a safety officer and recently moved

to Seminole County from Iowa. She describes herself as a football fan.

During jury selection, she said she had been the victim of a

nonviolent crime.
