Default What will the verdict be? What will the sentence be?

Today will be the first full day for the jury in the George Zimmerman case.

What will the verdict be?

What will the ultimate sentence be?

Anyone care to wager a guess?

In my experience, evidence matters less than attorney skills, and atty skills matter less than juror's predispositions. Here's a link to teensy juror bio sketches, but enough info for me to guess not guilty is coming the next 12 hours of deliberation.

Sounds like Zimmerman will walk given these thumb prints of facts about the jurors. The defense also presented its case much better than the prosecution despite that stupid joke at the beginning from West.

Not guilty if the jury analytically finds on the facts and has not been swayed by the emotional rantings of the prosecution.

This fiasco should never have come to trial!

Not guilty if they understood the jury instructions. I just hope they don't try to be peace keepers and go for manslaughter.

Hung jury. I'm thinking that at least one of the jurors will be swayed by the (over the top) hysterics of the prosecutors' closing statements, despite the lack of evidence.

My gut tells me they had a verdict last night but wanted to sleep on it, pack up and put their ducks in a row.

The verdict should be not guilty and the sentence will be having to disrupt his whole life and probably have to move far away, be harassed by those who disagree or have an agenda and live in fear for the rest of his life.
You'd have to be a fool to bet on a jury. I have two letters to say about that O J.
