We’re on the edge of complete political, economic, and social disaster. I can’t gussy it up or make it sound palatable.
Other than that, everything is peachy keen!

He could if I was on the jury.
I think Corey overcharged hoping Zimmerman would plead out, and a trial wouldn’t be necessary.
If this doesn’t get thrown out at the evidentery hearing, it will be a much higher bar that the prosecution will have to meet at trial. All 12 jurors will have to be convinced of guilt. I’m betting there are more honest jurors than most think. Zimermann only needs one holdout.
Only if they select the jury from people here on FR. As a whole, this is the most intellectually honest group I know. Sure we’re conservatives, patriots, etc. and we definitely have strong opinions. But my fellow freepers seem to be a cut above the ordinary when it comes to education, integrity, and common sense. Out in “the wild” of MSM land George doesn’t stand a chance.
No. That’s the point.
Justice no longer exists in America, and neither does honesty.
I have to say no.
If the charging document that was made public is what the State has to base its case on, I'm betting that a judge would dismiss charges on motion after the State makes its case. No jury decision would even be necessary under this scenario.
I can't see how that document suggests the intent needed to justify 2nd degree murder, and with what was written I can see no proof that Zimmerman wasn't acting in self defense, which is the State's responsibility to prove - not his.
This is my non-lawyer opinion of course, and its not my freedom thats on the line so whatever the defense decides, I hope ultimately justice is done.
Hollyweird has spent at least 20 years making us believe even a little skinny woman can go ninja & quickly hurt or kill many large men but nobody’s supposed to believe Trayvon could put Zimmerman in actual fear of being killed. Defense might need to show the jury “Salt”.
Why was he even charged?
Zimmerman is a human sacrifice to the barbarian gods of Al and Jesse.
I think he can get a fair trial, if he gets a good attorney. Remember, O. J. was convicted in the press before he went to trial.
For some reason I don't think Judge Joe Brown could hold a fair Trial.
NO!
The fact that Zimmerman was charged with a crime is entirely indicative that he cannot get a fair trial. No crime was committed according to "stand your ground". This is a dog and pony prosecution to appease race baiting interlopers.
