The following is a LIVE, ongoing rundown of Day 2 of jury selection in the George Zimmerman second-degree murder trial for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. The most recent updates are on top.

———————————————

5:12 p.m.

Court is in recess until 9 a.m. Wednesday. Ten potential jurors were interviewed today.

Juror E-54

5:03 p.m.

Lawyers have finished questioning Juror E-54, and are in sidebar with the judge.

4:53 p.m.

Defense attorney Don West begins questioning Juror E-54. He says family members have expressed their opinions about the case, but not about George Zimmerman's guilt or innocence. The juror says he can't make a judgment until he's heard all the evidence presented in court.

The juror said he does not think a hoodie had anything to do with the shooting, or is a significant part of the case.

He said when he heard Zimmerman was arrested, he assumed "there was something else," meaning new evidence in the case. But he told West he could base a verdict on only the evidence presented during the trial.

4:30 p.m.

Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda begins questioning Juror E-54, an older white man who appers to be in his 60s.

The juror recalls hearing that George Zimmerman called 911 "when he first noticed Trayvon Martin," and reported a suspicious person. He recalls a lot of protests in Sanford, but after Zimmerman was arrested, people seemed to lose interest.

He said he didn't understand why Sanford police didn't charge Zimmerman right away, so that made him interested in the protests. He said the protests were good, because they led to more investigation into the case, and "we're trying to learn the truth."

From Amanda Evans in the courtroom: E-54 seems to be answering very honestly and straightforward. He's not as nervous as some of the other jurors seemed.

The juror said he remembers the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton joining the protests, along with Florida U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown. He said he had no opinion about those national figures joining the protests.

The man said he has a teenage stepson the same age as Trayvon Martin. He said his son "dresses the same way," in hoodies, and he talked to his son about it, telling him to "just be careful, be cautious," because it may be misleading to others. He said he did not forbid his son from wearing the hoodie, and he has worn it since that discussion; the juror said he simply told his son to be mindful about what other people might think.

The juror said he recognizes Mark O'Mara from press conferences he has held during the case. He added he agrees that media reports should not impact his decision, and he believes in a fair trial for both sides.

Juror E-40

4:23 p.m.

Defense attorney Mark O'Mara begins questioning Juror E-40. She said she moved to Florida from Iowa for work.

The juror said she should not have any major hardships missing work to serve on the jury, even if it took six weeks, and even if the jury was sequestered.

She remembers hearing about a gated community and a teenager regarding the case.

4:13 p.m.

Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda begins questioning Juror E-40, an older white woman with gray hair who has only lived in Seminole County since November 2012. She moved from Iowa, and the case was not big news there.

The juror said she is very busy at work, so she had not had time to follow the Zimmerman case. She did know "somebody was a teenager." She did not remember hearing anyone's opinion about the case.

Juror E-6

3:45 p.m.

Defense attorney Don West begins questioning Juror E-6. She said she has vague memories of news coverage of the case. She had been working a lot at the time of the shooting. She is not currently working, and sees the headlines more.

Juror E-6 is a mother of two children, ages 11 and 13. After she learned about the shooting, she talked to them about safe behavior, telling them not to walk around at night.

She said she did not follow this case in particular, explaining she is "not one to just sit in front of the TV." She did remember something about a motion being denied, but did not recall details.

The juror said she recalls hearing that Zimmerman was on the neighborhood watch, but she said that could be a good thing or a bad thing. She also knows Zimmerman has claimed self-defense, but she "really can't make a guess without knowing the facts." What stands out in her mind is that the shooting was "very unfortunate."

The juror said she has not seen a picture of Zimmerman with a bloody face, just "the one basic" photo, "the same picture I think they always flash." She said she has heard 911 calls from the night of the shooting, and recalled a report that there was no determination made as to who was screaming in the background.

West asks the juror about what she told her children about the case. She said she told them, "There was a teenager, and he was killed." She warned them against giving off a "false impression" about themselves.

3:35 p.m.

We're apparently now on "E" jurors. Juror E-6, a white woman, is called in and tells prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda that she saw "a headline here and there," but did not follow the Zimmerman case very closely.

The juror said she always takes what she sees on the news "with a grain of salt," and she could keep her opinions based on what was heard in court.

She said she has seen George Zimmerman's picture before. She just realized she could be on this jury over the weekend. She said she has not done any of her own research in the case.

Juror B-86

3:16 p.m.

Juror B-86 is finished being questioned. Judge Nelson has called for a brief recess.

3:05 p.m.

Defense attorney Mark O'Mara begins questioning Juror B-86. After saying she couldn't "guarantee" anything to Bernie de la Rionda, O'Mara explained how the judge's jury instructions worked. The juror said she could obey the judge's instructions and disregard what she had heard outside of court, and only base her verdict on what was presented in court.

While she has heard about the case in TV news reports, she has not seen a live hearing in this case.

When asked about raising her sons, she said, "They weren't the problem; the ex-husband was."

The juror mentioned her son is only in town for a few months during the summer, so being sequestered might be difficult for her. She said she might be distracted by missing her son.

2:44 p.m.

Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda begins interviewing Juror B-86, a white woman who appears to be in her 50s. She works in the front office of a middle school, and has heard discussion about the case at work, mostly about how "the media blows everything out of propotion."

"They sensationalize a lot of stuff," the juror said about the news media. "I don't pay attention to them."

The juror said the case was "kind of hard not to follow." She recalled her sons, ages 21 and 20, making fun of the importance of Skittles to the case. [Trayvon Martin had a bag of Skittles on him when he was shot.]

The woman said she paid more attention to the case after receiving her jury summons, but she did not do her own research in the case. She remembered seeing the bloody picture of George Zimmerman with what "looked like a broken nose." She said she thought "something severe happened."

She recalled hearing on TV about the 911 calls, and lawyers trying to distinguish who was screaming on the tape. "I just thought you couldn't tell," she said. She told de la Rionda she could "probably" keep an open mind and only base her opinion on the evidence presented in court.

The juror is a single mother of two sons. She said she thought Trayvon Martin was expelled from school, and as someone who works in school administration and discipline, that stood out to her. She said she is very strict with her own sons, and believes this shooting could have been prevented if Trayvon Martin had not been suspended from school, and if his parents would have done more.

De la Rionda asked the juror if she could guarantee she could disregard what she has already heard about the case in making a verdict. She replied, "I can't guarantee anything."

Juror B-65

2:15 p.m.

Defense attorney Don West begins questioning Juror B-65. She said she had never seen George Zimmerman before Monday, when someone showed her a picture of him. She said she remembers seeing Trayvon Martin's picture on T-shirts with his name on it.

The juror said she has heard George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin.

West asked the juror to look around the courtroom to see if she sees her pastor. She said she doesn't see him. Several Sanford-area pastors are in the gallery.

The juror said she has three children, ages 21, 16 and 12.

She said she has Internet at work, but doesn't read the news. She doesn't think she has seen any headlines about the case. The defense seems like they might not believe her.

She said she listens to the radio on the way to work, and besides that, she mostly listens to gospel music on CD. She did not recall hearing about the case on the radio, at least not while she was listening. She believes she knows very little facts about the case, and said she has no idea about any recordings in the case. "What recordings?" she asked West.

2:09 p.m.

Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda begins questioning Juror B-65, a black woman who appears to be in her 30s or 40s. She said she has not heard reports on the case on TV news. She heard about the shooting from church, where her pastor prayed for both parties in the case. The juror goes to church in Sanford.

The juror said she had only heard the name "George Zimmerman" on Monday. She does not have cable or Internet access, and says she lives a "simple life." She remembers a lot of people coming to Sanford. She has lived in Seminole County for 16 years.

Juror B-2

2:07 p.m.

After a brief sidebar, this juror was called in but left without being questioned.

Interview: Juror B-55

1:48 p.m.

Defense attorney Mark O'Mara begins questioning Juror B-55. She says she is studying business, and just completed her final exams.

She recalls having a small discussion in her psychology class about the Zimmerman case, but she did not pay attention.

From Amanda Evans in the courtroom: Shellie Zimmerman walked back into court at 1:50 p.m.

The juror said she is not taking any summer classes, but she had planned to travel to Dubai or India at the end of June with her family.

1:37 p.m.

After a sidebar with lawyers, Juror B-55 is called in for questioning. She is a young woman and a student, possibly 18 to 25, with light brown skin.

The juror says she learned what she knows about the case on Facebook. There was more than one occasion in which stories about the Zimmerman case showed up on her news feed. She said there was also commentary about the case, but she would mostly ignore news and commentary about the case. She does not watch the news on TV, or read the newspaper.

The woman recalled that "an African-American was wearing a hoodie, or something like that" and she believes the shooting happened in a low-income neighborhood. She has not formed an opinion on the case, and doesn't seem to know much about the details.

From Amanda Evans in the courtroom: George Zimmerman's wife, Shellie, has not returned to the courtroom since recess was called.

Jury pool update

1 p.m.

A total of 41 potential jurors out of the pool of 500 have been dismissed, according to the clerk of courts office. Of those 41, 40 were dismissed before the individual voir dire, or questioning. One was dismissed after questioning Monday.

Lawyers have returned from recess.

Interview: Juror B-51

12:10 p.m.

Juror B-51 is finished being questioned. Judge Nelson calls for a recess for lunch until 1 p.m. for counsel and 1:30 p.m. for jurors.

11:28 a.m.

Defense attorney Don West begins questioning Juror B-51. She explains she lives in Oviedo, and has retired several times from several different careers, first in 1991. She retired from her most recent job about five years ago.

The juror said the shooting was "sad on both sides," adding, "The loss of life is always sad."

From Amanda Evans in the courtroom: B-51 seems to know a lot from the news, but says it hasn't impacted her.

The juror said she heard George Zimmerman was part of the neighborhood watch, but before this case, she wasn't aware that neighborhood watch volunteers actively went out to patrol the neighborhood.

West asked the juror if she believed George Zimmerman did anything wrong. At first, she said no, but then when West mentioned he did not wait for police to arrive, she said perhaps he did. She later added she's open to changing her opinion based on what was presented in court.

The woman said she was capable of being fair. "I'm not close-minded," she said.

The juror said she's aware some 911 calls were at issue in the case, but she hadn't heard the calls. She remembered hearing people say "you can't tell anything" from the recordings.

She also said she knows Trayvon Martin's family has been on TV, but she had not watched them.

The juror said she does not recall much about the particulars of the case, but adds, "Unless you've been living under a rock, everyone knows something about this case." She said she was surprised to see the level of interest in it outside of Seminole County, but she has kept an open mind.

She said she has no interest in talking to the media after the case. "I'm not interested in any limelight," she said.

11:15 a.m.

Court returns from recess, as Juror B-51, a white woman who apperas to be in her 60s or 70s, is called in for questioning.

The juror recalls hearing about the case, saying simply, "It was sad." She told prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda that she read and watched a lot the case in the newspaper and on the TV news. She did not watch any commentary concerning the case. "Just the news," she said.

The juror said she has not formed an opinion on the case. She recalled friends outside of Central Florida talking about "what's going on in Sanford," but they did not show any favor to either side.

She said she did not keep up with the court proceedings in the case, and she has spent the last six to eight months dealing with the death of her uncle.

The juror said she would not have any personal hardship if she had to serve on the jury. She has a dog and a 20-year-old cat, but she has children that could take care of them.

Juror B-51 said it was very intimidating to see all the news trucks outside the courthouse. De la Rionda informed her that the trial was being televised, but her face was not allowed to be shown on camera. The juror said she would be able to base her opinions as a juror on only the facts presented in court.

Interview: Juror B-37

10:59 a.m.

Juror B-37 is finished being questioned. Judge Debra Nelson calls for a 10-minute recess.

10:46 a.m.

Defense attorney Mark O'Mara begins questioning Juror B-37. She says volunteers for animal rescue groups. She has three dogs, four cats, a ferret, a couple lizards, a parrot and a crow with a broken wing.

O'Mara asked how being on the jury for an extended period of time would affect her ability to care for her pets. She said her husband told her he can do it all, and she also has daughters who can help him. She has two daughters, ages 24 and 27. One lives with her, and the other lives about 10 minutes away from her home.

She said any hardships she would have about not being able to go to work would only be hardships for her boss, because she was not there. Her job would pay her for days during which she had jury duty.

The juror said she saw something about the case on NBC's "Today" show at the very beginning of the case, that "there was a death, and there were riots in Sanford." She knew that it was Trayvon Martin who was killed.

The juror said his husband told her she is not allowed to watch the news if she is picked for this jury. He even promised her to tape the "Today" show for her and edit out any reports on the Zimmerman trial.

10:36 a.m.

Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda begins questioning Juror B-37, a white female. She works for a chiropractor, and mentioned she was called for jury duty before, but was dismissed from a jury in a hit-and-run case.

The juror said she recalls a broad spectrum of names involved in the Zimmerman case. She remembers hearing about the shooting when it first happened on TV news. She doesn't read the newspaper, joking, "Newspapers are used in the ferret's cage." She said she feeds a lot of animals in the morning, and hears bits and pieces in the news at that time.

She also doesn't get her news from the Internet, making another joke that she only plays the online game "Candy Crush."

The juror said all she remembers are names associated with the shooting, and she recalls "riots" in Sanford, saying a lot of people were angry, and the local rallies were "overdone." She said she did not take a side, calling the shooting "an unfortunate incident that happened."

She said she has not looked up information about the case since learning she was summoned for jury duty.

Interview: Juror B-35

10:25 a.m.

Defense attorney Don West begins questioning Juror B-35, who says he has a 21-year-old son at school in Tallahassee. He says he does tax preparation.

The juror said he knows people who went to the Trayvon Martin rallies in Sanford, but he did not agree with the marches.

From reporter Amanda Evans in the courtroom: Trayvon Martin's father shook his head while listening to this juror.

The juror recalled a female politician in a pink hat saying Trayvon Martin was "hunted down like a rabid dog." He thought that comment was inappropriate. [That comment was made by U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Miami.]

The juror said he can sympathize with the Martin family, saying he would feel the same way if it was his son. He added most people he knows thinks Trayvon Martin's death was a racially motivated killing.

10:02 a.m.

Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda begins questioning Juror B-35, a dark-skinned male with a salt-and-pepper beard who may be in his 40s. He has been married for 27 years.

The man said he learned about the case on the news and through discussions with friends. He says he watches a lot of the Fox News Channel and Sean Hannity at night.

The juror says he recalls hearing on the news that George Zimmerman's following of Trayvon Martin was made out to be racial. He said he doesn't think the shooting was racially motivated.

"I can't read the man's mind," he said. "I don't know whether he was racially motivated."

He also recalls hearing a report that one news outlet edited a 911 call, and that some earlier images of Trayvon Martin were misleading regarding his age at the time of the shooting. He added he hasn't seen Trayvon Martin, so he doesn't know whether what he heard was accurate.

The juror said he has friends who side with Trayvon Martin's family, and he is the only one of his friends who would argue both sides of the case. He added he can agree to set opinions from TV coverage aside.

B-35 said he has a problem with people politicizing the case. He thinks Zimmerman should have his day in court, and doesn't agree with the racial connotations suggested by the Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson in the case. He also did not agree with the marches in Sanford that happened shortly after the shooting, because he felt Sharpton and Jackson were trying to help their own agendas.

"They don't rally when our own people kill our own people," he said, adding that he didn't believe a march for the death of one person was appropriate.

The juror says the photos he has seen of Trayvon Martin include one when he was a little boy, and one in which he was wearing a hoodie. De la Rionda asked what he thought about Martin wearing the hoodie. The juror replied, "No big deal. I wear hoodies, too. It must have been cold."

Interview: Juror B-7

9:45 a.m.

Juror B-7 says he has been on a jury before. He went on to say he's concerned about his anonymity after the case is over, and the possible consequences in the community after he would reach a verdict.

O'Mara finishes questioning, and Judge Nelson asks attorneys to approach the bench for a sidebar.

9:44 a.m.

From reporter Amanda Evans in the courtroom: "When I sit and watch the jurors, I don't get the impression that they want to be on the jury. They seem very intimidated being questioned by attorneys and in a courtroom full of people."

9:35 a.m.

Defense attorney Mark O'Mara questions the juror about where he gets his news. The juror said he had not watched any court proceedings on TV in this case.

He said he has a 10-minute commute to work, so he only hears bits and pieces of the news on the radio.

The juror again said he recalls hearing a lot of talk about Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law. O'Mara asks the juror if he would be able to consider only the judge's instructions on how to apply "Stand Your Ground" to the case if he was selected. The juror said yes.

O'Mara asked the juror to clarify what he meant when he said he noticed a lot of people "taking sides." He said he heard a lot of people accusing Zimmerman of shooting Trayvon Martin because of his race, and a lot of other people saying it was self-defense. The juror again said he has not chosen a side, adding he feels it's "extremely important" not to consider previous news coverage of the case in their deliberations.

9:20 a.m.

Judge Nelson has arrived, and is immediately resuming the juror interviews with No. B-7, a white male who appears like he might be in his 40s.

Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda asks the juror about how he gets his news. The juror said on his questionnaire that he heard about the case from the newspaper and on local TV news. He added he didn't like the coverage, especially on local news, calling the coverage "very speculative." So, he avoided much of it.

The juror said he recalls talk early in the case about the "Stand Your Ground" law. He said it seems a lot of people have taken sides on it, especially on the news.

The man received his jury summons in March. He said he forgot about the Zimmerman trial until he realized it was starting the same day he had jury duty.

The juror said his father has been very into the case, but has not picked a particular side. He added he knows "inappropriate things" were done by Mr. Zimmerman.
