Beyond a reasonable doubt is as subjective as fear for your life is.
Jury time deliberating good or bad?

I honestly wonder if one or more jurors might vote to convict because they truly fear for their lives if they acquit Zimmerman.
If they genuinely fear for their lives, they should let the judge know. Intimidating a jury is looked down upon by the Feds.
Not what I meant. I wonder if one of them fears facing a lynch mob AFTER THE TRIAL if they do not convict Zimmerman. Their names WILL eventually be leaked (if they haven't already).

No. They don't have to balance any freaking thing against political ramifications. That's what bad judges with an activist bent do. The jury have to decide whether or not the prosecution has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime has been committed.
They have to balance justice with the risk of having rioters burn down their house with them inside.

Well, people didn't riot AT ALL when O.J. Simpson was Acquitted of murder.
So, I am guessing we can expect no riots after this Verdict.
I mean, a lot of people were given a good thumping this whole trial for "preconceived notions".
So, now is a pleasant time for us to all return to our respective productive lives and be glad that Justice has prevailed.
And, for the intelligent ones to buy a bag of nails and a few sheets of plywood.

Here is the O.J. Trial Verdict, and people's reaction:

See? Justice making people happy.
Yay!
Well, some looked like they were asked to fold a load of laundry, but for the most part I see a lot of happy people jumping up and down, smiles all around!
So tomorrow is another day.... I won't be checking CNN for any reports of riots or anything of the sort.
I can assure you not one Hispanic will be harmed.
Just smiles, jumping, and all sorts of Happy!

I don't care what he's up to now. I don't like OJ Simpson. But shouldn't we all be celebrating the fact that he couldn't be proven guilty under our justice system? YAY ZIMMY AND OJ
