Zimmerman Jury Selection Drags On

SANFORD, Fla., June 12 (Reuters)—Prosecutors and defense lawyers in Florida searched for a third day on Wednesday for potential jurors unaffected by blanket media coverage of last year's killing of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin.

Six jurors in Seminole County criminal court will decide the fate of George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watch volunteer who claims self-defense in the Feb. 26, 2012 shooting death of Martin. So far, jury selection for the trial has been moving at a snail's pace.
