———————————————
5:21 p.m.
O'Mara announces that the Frye hearing will continue Monday at 4 p.m. The defense has one more voice expert who needs to testify.
5:12 p.m.
Mark O'Mara said it's been a long week, but a good week. He said he's happy that it looks like "we're going to get Seminole County jurors to decide a Seminole County case." He said a lot of people doubted that it would be possible, but O'Mara claimed he was one who believed it was.
"We're making good progress," said O'Mara. "I'm very happy. The jurors, for the most part, are being very honest."
O'Mara told reporters that whatever the verdict is, "if we're going to survive this, we need to make sure the jury verdict is believable and trusted." He said he hopes to be in the next round of jury selection by Tuesday or Wednesday.
O'Mara said both the defense and prosecutors are looking out for "stealth jurors," calling them "unbelievably dangerous" to the process.
"There was somebody who we were able to identify that they were being less than straightforward in their presentation," he said.
Regarding the dismissed juror who was warned for trespassing at the courthouse Friday, O'Mara called his actions devastating to the process.
"He would have cost this system a week of time," O'Mara said. "He's lucky I'm not the sheriff of Seminole County."
5 p.m.
Court is in recess until Monday morning.
Defense attorney Mark O'Mara is expected to speak shortly in another courtroom.
4:56 p.m.
Judge Nelson calls in six of the seven jurors questioned today -- all except G-81, the dismissed juror who works near the shooting scene. All six will return Tuesday morning.
These six, plus the 23 retained earlier, make 29 jurors retained for traditional voir dire questioning. Lawyers want 40 for the next round.
4:53 p.m.
Judge Nelson calls in seven jurors -- 5 men, 2 women -- who were not yet questioned. The judge apologized that they have not been questioned yet. All seven will be sent home until Monday morning.
That, plus the 19 yet-to-be-questioned jurors dismissed Friday morning, makes 26 jurors coming in Monday for the first round of questioning.
4:51 p.m.
From Amanda Evans in the courtroom: Mark O'Mara is talking with attorney Ben Crump right now in court.
4:45 p.m.
From Amanda Evans in the courtroom: Attorneys look to be arguing at the judge's bench.
Interview: Juror H-6
4:17 p.m.
Defense attorney Mark O'Mara begins questioning Juror H-6. He said he believes the media was partial toward Trayvon Martin early on, but has since been more balanced. He said he would believe what witnesses had to say over the media.
The juror said he heard a lot of talk about race, with many people saying "a shot man shot down a black man." He recalled the protests, and remembered the Rev. Al Sharpton's involvement. The juror said at first, he thought they may have been right, but he said he could be fair as a juror.
From Amanda Evans in the courtroom: Wow, first juror to mention hearing George Zimmerman's brother, Robert, on the radio.
The juror said he remembers hearing about pictures of George Zimmerman's face being cut or bruised, but he did not see or look up any pictures. O'Mara asked if he has decided if a crime occurred. The juror said he doesn't know. He said he heard the call Zimmerman made when he spotted Trayvon Martin, and to him, "he sounded like he was concerned about his neighborhood."
Juror H-6 said he has to close on his house on June 28, but other than that, he is open to being sequestered.
3:59 p.m.
Juror H-6 is a white man who appears to be in his 30s or 40s.
The juror said he watched reports of the case on the news shortly after the shooting, but then he trailed off. Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda pointed out that the juror wrote in his questionnaire: "I don't know that it was self-defense, because I don't know much about the details."
From Amanda Evans in the courtroom: Wow, first juror to mention hearing George Zimmerman's brother, Robert, on the radio.
Juror H-6 remembers hearing a lot of talk about the "Stand Your Ground" law and other gun laws.
The juror said he has no problems with sequestration. He said he doesn't like TV cameras, so he would not want to have his "15 minutes of fame."
Interview: Juror G-87
3:55 p.m.
Juror G-87 is dismissed without any further questioning.
3:45 p.m.
Defense attorney Don West begins questioning Juror G-87.
From Amanda Evans in the courtroom: G-87 looks terrified. Very nervous.
The juror said she works close enough to the scene, that she could see the neighborhod and where the Trayvon Martin memorial once was. She saw buses driving people to the memorial.
From Amanda Evans in the courtroom: Attorneys are trying not to give away where this woman works, but it's so close, she passed it every day, and could see what was happening outside the windows.
3:29 p.m.
Juror G-87 is a white woman in her 30s or 40s. She said she first heard about the case at her job, which is near the shooting scene.
The juror recalled seeing photos of cuts on the back of George Zimmerman's head. She said she believes the media blows things out of proportion.
G-87 added the shooting is not something she can make a judgment about, because she wasn't there when it happened. She said she knows there were rallies about "people wanting justice," but she's not sure of her own thoughts on them. She also remembered seeing a "makeshift memorial," in tribute to Trayvon Martin, containing stuffed animals and balloons.
G-87 said she and her co-workers were told not to talk about the case at work.
From Amanda Evans in the courtroom: G-87 is very nervous. She must work really close to the incident.
Interview: Juror G-81
2:57 p.m.
Defense attorney Mark O'Mara begins questioning G-81. He said he is originally from Miami and still has family there, and now lives within a half-mile from the shooting scene, and remembers the area becoming a "media circus."
The juror said he watches "The Ed Show" on MSNBC and Bill O'Reilly on Fox News.
Juror G-81 said he's heard the case involved a "disagreement" and a fight. He mentioned the debate over the "Stand Your Ground" law, recalling there were a lot of questions about it. His gut reaction to the case was that "It was a tragedy." He added, "No matter what the circumstance, it's very hard."
The juror said his family and friends did not blame anyone in the case, but added it's a "news event that's particularly close to them." He said he doesn't know if this case divided Sanford, or if Sanford was already divided by something else. He recalled the shooting happened on Feb. 26, 2012, but coverage in the media didn't start until after "an uproar."
G-81 talks about African-American males being killed through violence at a high rate, saying it dates back to slavery, specifically mentioning Jim Crow. He referenced other violence in the African-American community, including shootings in Chicago.
2:43 p.m.
Juror G-81 said he has seen a photo of Trayvon Martin in a burgundy T-shirt [from when he was 16], and a photo of George Zimmerman in an orange jumpsuit [from 2005, released early in the case before recent photos were available].
The juror said it seemed like bias in the media over the case has shifted from being against George Zimmerman at first to later being against Trayvon Martin. He added any media bias he perceives don't shape his own opinions.
G-81 recalled the protests, saying they were simply people exercising their right to free speech. He also said he saw negative remarks online about the case, adding he finds that people who tend to comment on the Internet are "very mean-spirited."
The juror said he has no opinion on guilt or innocence in this case, and he has no issues being sequestered if chosen. He said he's not interested in fame or writing a book about being on the jury.
2:42 p.m.
From Amanda Evans in the courtroom: State Attorney Angela Corey just arrived in court a bit ago.
2:38 p.m.
Juror G-81 is a black man in his 30s or 40s.
He said he watches a lot of local news stations. He remembers days when the story just popped up on the news, but he wasn't looking for it.
Outside: Juror E-7 shows up at courthouse, escorted off
2:20 p.m.
A juror dismissed Wednesday over a Facebook post made shortly after the Trayvon Martin shooting has been escorted from the courthouse after showing up again Friday.
The former Juror E-7, identified as Jerry P. Counelis, was escorted off the property for trespassing.
Counelis made a comment on Facebook in March 2012 on a link to a pro-Trayvon website, saying "I can tell you this: Justice is coming," and bashing the "corrupt" Sanford Police Department for not arresting George Zimmerman.
Interview: Juror G-66
2:12 p.m.
Defense attorney Don West begins questioning Juror G-66. She said she retired and moved to Florida in June 2011.
The juror recalled the protests "because Mr. Zimmerman was not arrested" being disruptive, but she could ignore what she has previously seen or heard if selected for the jury. She said the case turned into a racial situation, and that divided the community, but it didn't come in at church or on social media.
Juror G-66 recalled the "franticness" in the voice of the neighbor who called 911, and hearing "yelling" in the background.
1:53 p.m.
Juror G-66 is a white woman who appears to be in her 50s.
She tells prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda she watches the news every day on TV, and was able to write a full timeline of what happened on her questionnaire.
The juror said she remembers seeing pictures of Trayvon Martin wearing a hoodie and George Zimmerman's injuries. She said her first impression of the bloody photo of Zimmerman was that she "felt sorry for him." She also recalled seeing the demonstrations and a recording of Zimmerman re-enacting the incident for investigators.
Juror G-66 remembers many details about the case, including the first 911 call from a neighbor who witnessed the shooting, and Shellie Zimmerman's arrest for perjury. She said she and her family discussed what happened, but none of them came to a conclusion.
The juror said she does not believe everything she hears on the news, saying the media is not always truthful. She adds there are times when she has the TV on, but she's not really watching, because she's busy doing something else.
The juror said she does not have any issues about being sequestered. She babysits her 2½-year-old grandchild.
1:40 p.m.
George Zimmerman and attorneys are back in the courtroom.
Interview: Juror G-63
12:42 p.m.
Juror G-63 is finished being questioned. Court is in recess until 1:40 p.m.
12:12 p.m.
Defense attorney Mark O'Mara begins questioning Juror G-63.
The juror began talking about "archetypes," or stereotypes, with O'Mara, offering the examples "bro" and "hipster." He said he doesn't know anyone who matches such archetypes.
O'Mara asked the juror if he believes the protesters were wrong. The juror replies, "I guess wrong in the sense that they can't be sure they're right."
Juror G-63 said most things on the local news do not affect or conern him. He prefers national and international news.
O'Mara asks the juror about what he knows about the "Stand Your Ground" law, and what he heard about it related to this case. G-63 said he's not sure if the law applies in this case, but admits he looked up the law on Wikipedia, and he knows that's not always a reliable source.
The juror said his last job was as a teaching assistant. Since then, he has not had a job.
Juror G-63 said he feels people often accuse many cases of involving race whenever they involve "anyone who isn't white." He said racism is not a factor in his daily life, and he doesn't even identify with one race, explaining he is "very mixed-race." He said his background is German, Filipino, Chinese and Spanish.
O'Mara asked if race never came up in court, could the juror disregard it? The juror struggles to understand what O'Mara means, but eventually says yes.
From Amanda Evans in the courtroom: Watching this juror answer, I get the feeling he's just a nervous young man. I think he's used to knowing the answer, but really doesn't when it comes to this case.
11:40 a.m.
Juror G-63 is a young man in his 20s. He is a lifelong Florida native who moved to Seminole County about five years ago.
The juror said he saw bits of the case on TV when the shooting happened, but he hasn't heard anything since then. He doesn't watch the news, but his parents do.
Juror G-63 said he has seen posted on Facebook about the case. As prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda asks him about what he's seen on Facebook, the juror has to explain to him that it's not strictly for news. Users can post anything they want about anything.
The juror said he remembers hearing that a gun was involved in the case, and he heard talk about "some type of 'Stand Your Ground' law," and "the Florida law being weird."
G-63 said he remembers "some type of scandal" involving an "upper-level" person in government getting fired over the handling of the Zimmerman case. He recalls Zimmerman was not immediately arrested, and the firing was related to that. [Bill Lee, who was Sanford's police chief, first stepped down, and was later fired.]
The juror said he remembered there being protests involging "the same people who always protest," but he didn't know or name anyone who was involved with the rallies. "It annoys me when people hold protests," he added.
Juror G-63 commented that there have been people in the jury room talking and complaining about government in general. He said it thinks it's annoying when people protest that the government isn't doing something, and he doesn't like it when "people accuse other people of being wrong."
From Amanda Evans in the courtroom: G-63 seems like he'd make a good juror. He has opinions on things, so he wouldn't get pushed around, but a young voice as well.
Regarding hardship, the juror said his birthday was coming up, but added, "I can move a party back."
Interview: Juror G-47
11:06 a.m.
Defense attorney Don West begins interviewing Juror G-47, who said the TV in the lobby of his restaurant is muted, but has closed-captioning. Still, he said his news watching is "sparse," because he finds it depressing, describing himself as a "very happy person." He said he only cares about news that affects him personally, explaining "a tsunami in Japan or an earthquake in India" would potentially impact his life more than the Zimmerman case.
The juror said he doesn't have an opinion on whether George Zimmerman is innocent or guilty. "That's what we're here to decide, isn't it?" he replied. He said he talked to his friends about the Casey Anthony case, but not this one. He's not familiar with the details of this case, but recalled seeing Zimmerman's face "plastered all over the news."
West asked the juror about race. G-47 said he has no opinion on it, and he hasn't talked with anyone else who talked about race as an issue in the case.
From Amanda Evans in the courtroom: West appears to be getting under this potential jurors' skin.
The juror noted some of his restaurant customers are divided on the case.
10:48 a.m.
Juror G-47 is a young, white man who appears to be in his 20s. He works at a restaurant and has seen tidbits of the case on the TVs at work.
He said he has two dogs and his parents are sick, and works 50 hours a week, so he has no time to sit down and watch the news.
The juror said he has seen pictures related to the case, but nothing sticks out in his memory. He heard the case involved self-defense, but added "Everybody has something to say about everything." He said he also remembers rallies with the Rev. Al Sharpton.
G-47 said serving on the jury would be a hassle in his life. He said he just got promoted to assistant manager at his restaurant the day before he received his summons.
Interview: Juror G-29
10:08 a.m.
Juror G-29 is a black woman who appears to be in her 30s. She has lived in Seminole County for eight months.
She said she does not follow the news at all, but has heard about the case on talk radio. "I try to stay uninvolved, I guess," she said.
The juror said she listens to the "Phillips File" radio show. Regarding the case, she has seen George Zimmerman's mug shot on TV in passing, and has seen a picture of Trayvon martin. She assumed "there was an altercation," and has never discussed the case with anyone.
Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda asked Juror G-29 if she had any concerns about being sequestered. She said she did not.
The juror said she first remembers hearing about "an African-American male passing," and that there was a suspect. She recalled racial tension after the shooting, but she has tried to stay away from the case. She said she does not like to get involved in current events.
G-29 said she does not go to church. She said she remembers a radio host saying it was not George Zimmerman's place to approach Trayvon Martin.
When she got her jury summons, she said to herself, "Not again." She has served jury duty before. She said she understands that whatever she hears int he courtroom will be what she bases her verdict on if chosen.
The juror said her mother told her a few days before the first day of jury duty that it could be for this case. She said she posted on Facebook that she had jury duty, but did not mention anything about this case.
