haha I will never forget what my Torts professor once told our class - "Jurors are the dumbest people in the courtroom"

... and he's 100% right.

"100%"?

you don't think you could find one example in the history of mankind where there was someone in a courtroom that was "dumber" than one of the jurors?

Well do you actually think more than 5% of jurors have higher IQ than lawyers? Lawyer is basically a job that requires you to have a high IQ.

what are your stats based on? "juror" is not a job, so how could you hope to make such a comparison of IQ's

an intelligence quotient is a very specific thing. it's not just some herp-derp concept to appeal to

I was just making the point that this isn't a case of stalking, because stalking is defined as a repeated action... Zimmerman didn't repeatably follow or harass Martin over and over again...

If you try to shake off a person following you but he repeatedly catches up, that's repeated. All Trayvon gotta feel is "this kracka STILL following me!" IMO.

Meet the jurors in the George Zimmerman trial

Six women were chosen to serve on the jury in the trial of George Zimmerman, the Florida neighborhood watch captain accused of murder in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

The six jurors and four alternates went through a nearly two-week long process of jury selection, where they answered questions about their knowledge of the case and opinions on subjects including guns, law enforcement and media bias.

Below are general descriptions of the jurors, identified by numbers assigned to them by the court to protect their identities:

6 JURORS:

B-29: Described as a Hispanic woman, who works as a nurse treating patients with Alzheimer's. She has seven children and lived in Chicago at the time of the February 2012 shooting. Supposedly she is black and Hispanic.

B-76: Described as a white middle-aged woman, who said Zimmerman had an "altercation with the young man. There was a struggle, and the gun went off."

B-37: Described as a middle-aged white woman, who works for a chiropractor and has many pets. She described protests in Sanford sparked after the delay in Zimmerman's arrest as "rioting."

B-51: Described as a retired white woman from Oviedo, Fla., who has a dog and 20-year-old cat. She knew a good deal about the case but said, "I'm not rigid in my thinking."

E-6: Described as a young white woman and mother, who used to work in financial services. She used this case as an example to her adolescent children, warning them to not go out at night.

E-40: Described as a white woman in her 60s, who lived in Iowa at the time of the shooting. She heard national news reports and recalls the shooting was in a gated community and a teenager was killed.

4 ALTERNATES:
E-40: Described as a white man in his 50s. He cautioned his 16-year-old stepson about wearing hoodie, which Trayvon Martin was wearing at the time of the shooting.

B-72: Described as a Hispanic man in his 20s, who works as maintenance technician at a school. He is a self-described power lifter and arm wrestler.

E-13: Described as a white woman in her 20s. She has brother who is black. She says she "never" watches the news, but when she first heard of shooting thought it was a "racial thing."

E-28: Described as a white middle-aged woman, who works as a nurse and says she listens to a lot of radio on her 15-minute commute. She said she knew little about the case and has no opinion about Zimmerman's guilt.

Seems like the mainstream perception is that being a lawyer is job that is revered by "common folk" & that it takes a vast amount of knowledge to be a lawyer. But reality is that they aren't any smarter than anyone else who decides to become knowledgeable of the law
