It's day two of jury selection in the second degree murder trial of former neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman. 500 prospective jurors began reporting yesterday to the Seminole County courthouse, and picking a jury could take up to three weeks.
Jurors were given a questionnaire. Then one-by-one attorneys began asking them how much they've followed the case and how the news has influenced them.The judge has ordered that all prospective jurors remain anonymous. Attorneys interviewed two white women, a black woman and a white man. The man told defense attorney Mark O'Mara he knew a little about the case.
"There was fault on both sides as far as what I could see. It was two people being in the wrong place at the wrong time", he said.
Zimmerman says he shot and killed Trayvon Martin in self-defense. It was a highly anticipated day in the high profile case. Zimmerman's brother and Martin's parents were present- along with dozens of journalists.
Security was tight, but only a few protesters demonstrated outside.
The trial is expected to last four to six weeks.
