The future George Zimmerman Acquittal Trial Megathread!

I don't disagree with anything you are saying, except that this version of events requires the state to prove a LOT more in order to get a conviction.

And without any evidence to counter Zimmermans version of events, I don't see how they can do that.

Unfortunately, that's kinda what happens when the victim is really the one on trial.

Don't be putting this all on The Most Reverend Al because Sanford PD and the SA's Office were cowardly weasels that didn't want to do their jobs.

RESIST WE MUCH

May your first grandchild be a masculine child.  A big black masculine child.

If you had a son, he'd look like Trayvon.

Pfft, at my height, more like Gary Coleman.

No, that's kind of what happens when the only person who is testifying as to what happened seems to be saying that the accused version of events is basically accurate, and that version makes it seem like he was defending himself.

I don't see this playing out any differently if Zimmerman was black and Martin was white, but all the facts and testimony stays the same.

Might not have been any charges at all in that case, as it probably wouldn't have gotten the same publicity.

[Razgovory]

It would have simply gotten the charges and not the publicity.

I think regardless of the races, someone shoots an unarmed kid it's going to get publicity.

Sure it will, then add the race card and it explodes.

National publicity?  Probably not.

Man shoots teen, claims self defense.  No national publicity, no explosion.

Different than Trayvon Case. Did you read it or just pull the first headline after googling it.

From what I understand the police did such a sloppy job initially in the Trayvon case, The Rev Al weighed in. Rightfully so IMO.
