ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) —About $33,000 was spent to sequester the six female jurors who acquit-ted George Zimmerman of any crime for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin, according to details re-leased Wednesday by the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office.

The sheriff’s office spent almost 10 times that amount $320,000 on total costs related to the trial, including overtime and equipment.

During their three weeks of sequestration, jurors took an excursion to St. Augustine, Fla.; watched the movies “The Lone Ranger” and “World War Z;” went on bowling ex-cursions; and saw Fourth of July fireworks.

All television, Internet use, mail and phone calls were screened and logged by deputies who provided security for them at all times. Jurors were allowed to use their cell phones once a day to check for voicemails and make calls in front of a deputy, accord-ing to the sheriff’s office.

Jurors ate most of their breakfast and dinner meals at the Marriott hotel where they stayed during seques-tration. They dined out twice.

They received visits on weekends from family and friends, who had to sign an agreement promising not to discuss anything related to the case.

Despite spending 22 days together, four of the jurors have distanced themselves from statements another juror made in a televised interview.

The four jurors issued a brief statement Tuesday on court letterhead saying the opinions expressed by Ju-ror B37 to CNN’s Ander-son Cooper are not repre-sentative of their views.

“The opinions of Juror B37, expressed on the An-derson Cooper show were her own, and not in any way representative of the ju-rors listed below,” said the statement, signed by Jurors B51, B76, E6 and E40. The six-sentence statement did not specify what parts of the other juror’s comments they disagreed with.

Juror B37 said the ac-tions of Zimmerman and 17-year-old Trayvon Mar-tin both led to the teenag-er’s fatal shooting last year, but that Zimmerman didn’t actually break the law.

The four other jurors said in their statement that Martin’s death weighed on them.

“Serving on this jury has been a highly emotional and physically draining experience for each of us,” the statement said. “The death of a teenager weighed heavily on our hearts but in the end we did what the law required us to do.”

They also made a request for privacy. The court has not released the names of the six-woman jury, which included five whites and one woman who appeared to reporters to be Hispanic.

B37’s face was obscured by shadow during her in-terview.

In a statement to CNN released Wednesday, Juror B37 said she prayed for those who have the power to modify laws that gave her “no verdict option other than ‘not guilty’ in order to remain within the instructions.”

NASA still perplexed by astronaut’s flooded helmetCAPE CANAVERAL,

Fla. (AP) — The space-walking astronaut who came close to drowning in a flooded helmet searched for clues in his spacesuit Wednesday, in hopes of understanding the unprec-edented water leak.

Engineers in Houston, meanwhile, conducted their own investigation into what should have been a routine, yet still risky, maintenance job outside the International Space Station.

But a day after one of NASA’s most harrowing spacewalks in decades, an-swers eluded the experts.

“There still is no smok-ing gun or definite cause of what happened or why that water ended up” inside Luca Parmitano’s spacesuit, said NASA spokesman Kelly Humphries.

Parmitano, Italy’s first and only spacewalker, could not hear or speak by the time he re-entered the space station on Tuesday, 1½ hours after stepping out. He also had difficulty seeing because of the big globs of water in his helmet and elsewhere in his suit.

He’d worn the same suit on a spacewalk a week ear-lier, without mishap.

NASA aborted the second spacewalk because of the deluge and later acknowl-edged it was a serious situ-ation in which Parmitano could have choked or even drowned.

He looked all right, al-though wet, when his crew-mates pulled off his helmet, and was reported to be in fine shape.

“Back to normality on the ISS — Cupola is still a fantastic sight, even after a (very short) EVA,” Parmi-tano wrote Wednesday in a

tweet. EVA is NASA shorthand

for spacewalk: extravehicu-lar activity.

He followed with photos of Italy’s Lake Como, the Italian Alps and the Rimini

sea resort that he snapped from the station’s cupola, or observation deck.

NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg, a crewmate, added via Twitter: “Just happy Lu-ca’s safe!”

On Wednesday, Parmi-tano shined a long flashlight through the ring collar of his suit, while his colleague, American Christopher Cas-sidy, examined other equip-ment used Tuesday.
