Everyone involved will be pressured into making sure he is guilty.
Some of have known and stated this from day one.
All white jury and he has a chance for a fair trial, all black jury and he's guilty as hell, mixed race jury equals hung jury every time he's tried.
How many times will the state try him with the same results? When does it simply become harassment to retry him?
Eventually, when Florida becomes tired of retrying him, the fed justice dept. will charge him with a civil rights violation.
Seminole County, Florida appears to be 90+% white. There has been talk of busing in jurors to make it “fair.” I leave it to the reader to determine the race of the “busees!”
Moron.
Some of us have known and stated this from day one.
Angela Corey should be investigated and brought up on charges at some point which should dampen Florida’s ardor to keep retrying Zimmerman indefinitely.
I didn’t know about the civil suit protection aspect of the law. I’ve been going on the assumption that a civil suit would have immediately followed any acquittal or dismissal of charges. Interesting.
This is BS, I had to read about half of the article before the guy made his point. White people are too racist to convict a man guilty of killing a black man. Who the he** acquitted OJ then if this BS is true? White Jurors may very well vote to acquit but it won't be for racist reasons, it will be because they listen to the facts instead of the BS pushed by the MSM.
Wait, what does this law actually say? Are you saying I could shoot you in your sleep, and if I claimed, "stand your ground," I am immune from prosecution? If so, it is a really bad law. I doubt it really is what you say. Someone may act in self defense, but that should be weighed as evidence. Merely because you can name a law, shouldn't mean that they can't be prosecuted.
Koreans? Amish? Ashkenazi Jews? Peruvians?
“by way of force, to deal with the skeleton of race that’s been hanging in the national closet for centuries. “
I agree. It’s time that everyone accepts the fact that blacks are the only large group left in America that’s overwhelmingly racist.
Then we can answer this question: What do we do about it?
Angela Corey should be dis-barred like Nifong.
This case is looking a lot like the Duke Rape Case.
I hate to lay blame in any one corner, I REALLY do, but it’s all the democrats fault.
Dems are the party of RACE. Certainly today, and for many years back.
The Al Not-so Sharpton’s and Jerkson’s of their party have elevated this and worked their voting plan... I mean, public into a frenzy.
With about 50 murders EVERY day in the US, the dems have chosen this one for everybody to chime in on, and keep this in the news cycles, tainting any potential jury. From zer0 himself, to the Martin parents, and everybody in-between.
The best thing for justice here would be if the judge forbade live TV, cameras, and the like. Anything to tone down the ferver and let the courts do their job... themselves!
I thought the opportunity for the case to be dismissed was at the hearing they just had. Is there still a possibility that the judge could dismiss the case before it goes to trial?
Ah, Seminole County. Maybe there’s a way out of the quandry: empanel a jury all of whose members are Seminoles to get the white/black dynamic out of the matter.
Maybe, but Mr. Zimmerman, being half Peruvian, has a high percentage of native Indian blood (he physically appears more Indian than European, just sayin’) so the Seminoles may come off and say he’s not guilty at all. They’re more a jury of his peers than anyone else, and what could the two irreverends, Bogus Al and Shake’m down Jesse do about it, call the native americans racist? Ha!
