opening statements began. the strategy, at least. attorney rodger futerman, remember, had put cara through a couple of mock trials and discovered-- >> the majority of women convicted her, and the majority of men didn't, and the women's rationale was all emotionally based. they wanted to hear much more emotion in her. they want to hear her crying. >> and this client is not like that. >> that's not her. it's just not how she is. >> so futerman worked hard to ensure there were mostly males in the jury. in florida, second degree murder cases have six-person juries, and he succeeded. 5 of the 6 were men. >> we believed the men wouldn't be focused on the emotion, but more on the facts. >> what else did you look for in the jury? >> gun owners. people that were not afraid to shoot someone if they came into their house unannounced, and almost every one of our jurors had a gun, and was not afraid to use it. >> once the trial began, futerman told those jurors that cara had no choice but to use her gun to defend herself.
