referred to the defendant with an endearing nickname? Georgie, really? It seems like she developed Stockholm Syndrome during sequestration.

B37 showed obvious sympathy towards Zimmerman, which makes since given her decision. She became increasingly comfortable, calling the 29 year old "Georgie," during one exchange, and Martin a "boy of color." Unfortunately, the commentary, may not have helped the semi-public relations tour of which she is embarking. Hours after announcing she signed a book deal, the offer was dropped. - See more at: http://hiphopwired.com/2013/07/16/juror-b37-says-trayvon-martin-shooting-wasnt-about-race-calls-teen-a-boy-of-color-video/#sthash.IjHxyQ3P.dpuf

I don't have the stomach to go back and listen to the whole thing again.

Someone else posting the same conclusion on another blog raises the same question for me: are *they* sure it wasn't "George, he..."

page 3A.

I remember reading that she had a plan to write a book, along with her husband, concerning the trial. To me that would say she had a pre disposed interest in a case she said she knew nothing about and had no interest in. I can't get the online edition to open to that page.

It would also kick that stupid knock knock joke on its ass.
