Drop George Zimmerman’s murder charge

New York Daily News ^ | 05/18/2012 | Alan Dershowitz

...Mansfield Frazier, a columnist for the Daily Beast, has suggested that it is the responsibility of the legal system to “avert a large scale racial calamity.” He has urged Zimmerman’s defense lawyer to become a “savior” by brokering a deal to plead his client guilty to a crime that “has him back on the streets within this decade.”

Progressivism on Parade.

Sacrifice an innocent individual for the collective good, perverting Justice in the process.

Disgusting.

“A defendant, under Florida law, loses his “stand your ground” defense if he provoked the encounter...”

Perhaps, but the prosecution has nothing to prove that with except the lame attempt to say “ in wouldn't have happened if he stayed in his car”, which wont fly with any sane Judge.

If that lame spew would convict anyone, it could convict everyone, because any conflict between two persons would never happen...”if they would have just been living 1,000 miles away at the time”.

And it make just as much sense.

Zimmerman had every right to be where he was, and dumb@ss Corey knows it!

The fact that he DID have an illegal drug in his system as Z suspected, should negate all profiling accusations.

[SoFloFreeper]

Drop the charge and applaud him for defending his life. He very easily could have been dead that night. His attacker clearly wasn’t being gentle...

[hoosiermama]

Was Bad-ni manipulating to get rid of a rival?

It’s too bad we can’t “banish/exile” those race-baiting clowns like they did in ancient times. Deport them all to third world countries or wherever and let them see how things are elsewhere, how good things are in the USA as compared to other parts of the world - even when times are bad here. I’m sure that wherever they would wind up eventually they would wear out their welcome and be kicked out again.

The old but very true phrase: “America - Love her or Leave her” still applies.

not even in the same league

I thought I was past being enraged at anything I'd ever see in the Washington Post...

Think again. Their front page starting at the top this morning has this to say about the Z/M case 'Martin Was Shot at Close Range'

No shit, the turkey was trying to kill Zimmerman by bashing his head against the pavement, but that's all the wapo can think of to say about it:

Martin was shot at close range

What wretched, evil, stupid people...

[Flintlock]

Don’t you understand???

The burgular/mugger’s putative “parents” CANNOT SUE unless Z is charged with a CRIME??

Why else copywright the crook’s NAME???

Whe else go to EUROPE (of all places) to fundraise unless it’s really ALL ABOUT THE MUNNNNIEEEEE???

Check the timeline on this mess and see that a WHOLE LOT OF STUFF had to be set into place BEFORE they went after Z.

Imagine if Obama had been president during the Duke Lacrosse scandal. I’d give money to see Crystal Mangum at a beer summit. Oh wait, she is now in prison for murder so she’d have to send Nifong in her place.

Mike Nifong and the lacrosse debacle definitely set the standard for judicial idiocy.

Before this story broke, I really liked Rick Scott and Pam Bondi. However, Scott bending to the will of the race whores and appointing Corey, and Bondi not saying a peep about either this case or the Black Pamper's death threats (which were uttered in her state), has really tarnished their careers, competence, and credibility. I, and hopefully many others, will not forget these events.

They are all cowards or complete idiots. No other choices. This whole thing was, and is, being handled in a despicable fashion.

[Ironfocus]

It is almost rhetorical...but if the incident was reversed, with a black youth shooting and killing a hispanic after the hispanic was beating his head against the pavement, would we have seen ANY of this? Of course not, except maybe to paint the 17yo as a hero. We certainly would not have seen headlines like that in the Post or any other slimerag.

MR. DERSHOWITZ SHOULD JOIN ZIMMERMAN’S DEFENSE TEAM!

[longtermmemmory]

What happened to prsecutor Nifong? Disbarred and bankrupt.

Will the florida bar step up to the plate or is it a special set of free pass rules for political lawyers.

[ladyjane]

Dershowitz is an appeals lawyer. It’s unimaginable, to me, that Zimmerman will need to appeal any verdict but if he does Dershowitz is the best.

[over3Owithabrain]

I read an AP article that is even worse than the Compost. It spun every bit of the exculpatory evidence we heard yesterday and called it a "mixed bag" that mostly still condemned Zimmerman. On NO planet does that evidence hurt the defense.

Funny how the race baiting libs forget that one must be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and just inject their biases into what they "think" happened.

[varmintman]

There’s still the one poor guy, Fuster, rotting in a Flori-duh prison for shit which not only never happened, but which isn’t even physically possible involving one of Janet Reno’s witch-craft trials from the 80s.

[trebb]

Also add to it the fact taht was recently reported that the “innocent little waif” had Marijuana in his system.

Which, as another FReeper astutely noted, bolsters George's statement that Martin was acting weird and that he thought he might be on drugs.

[Paladin2]

Depraved prosecutors just can’t control themselves.

[Tupelo]

Alan Dershowitz needs to be careful here. What he is advocating could be construed as fomenting a riot. If Zimmerman is released with or with out a trial, there will be major rioting in the larger cities. I am sure Holder’s Just-us Dept has been watching him for a while now.

[Haiku Guy]

The case is really very simple.

Was it reasonable for George Zimmerman to conclude that he could not avoid death or serious injury by retreating, once he was down on the ground being beaten?

If the answer to this question is “Yes”, there is nothing to argue about.
