The future George Zimmerman Acquittal Trial Megathread!

[Caliga]

I still think Zimmerman pretty much went and picked a fight he had no business being involved in, or at least created a situation because he is a meddling spaz, and then killed that kid when it went bad, and he could have avoided the entire thing had he wanted to - but the bar for conviction is a lot higher than the bar for me being convinced Zimmerman is a douchebag largely responsible for that young man's death.

Yep, agree.

The way I see it, Zimmerman is douchbag like Berks says, he could have handled this diferent, and to be specific, by diferent I mean keeping more physical distance between him and Trayvon Martinus. After all, Z-man had a gun and distance was in his favor.

My problem is, this Trayvon kid looked at Z-man, saw a "short cracker", his brain did that lower function untrained people normally do, and somehow came up with a MLOOA (most likely outcome of action) as him succesfully beating the shit out of Z-man, because the Tray-kid was taller, stronger, and younger. Trayzomb definitively forgot the Colt factor: "All men are equal in a under 5 sec/5 meter firefight".

In other words, Trayvon Martin was an evil man used to get his way because of his physical prowess.

5'11" and 158 lbs doesn't sound like physical prowess, but like a skinny youth.

Compared to Zimmerman? Fucking superman, I tell you.

[Admiral Yi]

Don't see it.  Zimmerman has to be packing at least 180.

[Zanza]

Zimmerman is supposedly 185 lbs and 5'7". Both from Wikipedia.

I am ossum.

It's "Stand Your Ground", not "Walk Over To That Guy's Ground Over There, Start A Fight, Start Losing and Then Blow The Nigger Away On His Ground".

You are unbelievable.

Go find some kids in the street making monkey faces and dump a carcass in their water well, please.

Maybe at the time of his arrest, but he's gotta be up to 220 or more by now.

Gotta be able to defend yourself in the pokey.

[Admiral Yi]

The talking heads on CNN seemed to think that the defense had a monster day today.

[Razgovory]

I would hope so.  They are some of the best lawyers in the state of Florida.

Funny how the anti-Zim narrative shifted so quickly.  Up through last week, it held that Zim stalked and attacked an innocent cherubish Trayvon and decided to murder him in cold blood.  That seems to have seamlessly shifted to badass Trayvon knowing how to throw down (admirable quality) & beating the shit out of the cracka (which is not an offensive term), then the cracka being so humiliated that he shot Trayvon after it was all over.  Wonder if that is set in stone or if it will change next week.

Oh and apparently CNN broadcasted Zim's social security number.

I thought it was rather telling how, in Zimmerman's written statement, he constantly referred to Martin as "the suspect".

LOL, way to go, CNN.
