Tuesday, potential jurors said serving on the jury for the George Zimmerman trial is not ideal, but they'll do it if they have to.
It was the running theme in court for the day that started with Juror H-81 saying, "I'm not applying for this job."
Another man told an attorney "you could make me a very happy man," if he wasn't chosen for the jury.
One young woman, Juror I-19, was worried about the financial hardship. She appeared to be in her early 20s, and said she works an hourly job. She told the court she may have to borrow money from her grandparents to pay her bills, but the attorneys asked her if she can see if she can make arrangements.
Our reporter in the courtroom saw Juror I-29, an older woman appearing to be in her 50s or 60s, consoling the young woman and rubbing her shoulder as the judge told them to return Wednesday for the traditional jury questioning.
It is not a job a lot of those potential jurors seemed to be looking forward to, and prosecutor Bernie De La Rionda reminded them again and again, it's a sacrifice you make to live in this great country.
Nine jurors were questioned Tuesday, which ended with 40 being retained for the second round of questioning.
