Six white women or five white women on this jury. you talk about what charles was talking about, that organizing principle. i just call it -- and i called it a couple weeks ago, the prism through which they look. early on and one of the reasons i was all over sunny on this case was because i understand, i think, from sitting in the trenches that the prism through can they look is the same prism that george zimmerman looks when he sees trayvon martin walking there. then when you layer on all of the other nuances about this and you put on the woman who had the home invasion and you press all of ...

And so when they then try to run away from that in the trial, which is what i think they did, there was no other result but a not guilty. and now people are justifiably cynical about the system. i think for all the wrong reasons. i think that this case is so complex, so nuanced, and it's so aggravating to me to watch commentators and people in the media talk about it in such a twitter, 140 character manner. because this case is so layered and is so -- it reaches into such the collective psyche of this country and the problems with race relations in this country, that i don't even know where to...
