How many similar cases were in Chicago last year (though black on Negro!), ~500? How many went to court? Zero, you say?
Orrrr this case is going to be resolve with a stand your ground motion.
It's a simple self defense case.
It won’t be a Stand Your Ground defense. Zimmerman wasn’t standing; he was on his back. This is regular, old self-defense.
No, it doesn’t imply Zimmerman pursued Martin. Stand Your Ground implies just that: you stood your ground. It removes the “duty to retreat” which plagues states like mine. Zimmerman wasn’t standing, and so had no ability let alone duty to retreat, and for that reason it is not a Stand Your Ground case.
Unless regular, old self-defense is now handled under a law with “Stand Your Ground” in the title, in which case it would technically be a Stand Your Ground defense, even though it isn’t. But my understanding is the SYG law indemnifies you against arrest, not merely conviction, which is why he wasn’t under arrest before the public furor. So according to it he shouldn’t even be in a position to offer a defense, and wouldn’t be if it weren’t for this Nifong of a DA.
Obviously there is some judge-fixing going on. This is a prosecutor that is not local...against an attorney with much local court experience
The prosecution has no case. They will not find enough Black Racists in Seminole to convict. Having been a juror in a few cases in this County....few blacks are in Seminole jury pools
This case is embarrassing.....and costly....for us. Zimmerman would not be on trial if Trayvon was white
I read Arc of Justice but not the other one.
This case is about bringing a White Hispanic to justice for the unwarranted murder of a racially-priveledged young man in Obama/Holder's Afro-merica.
Ben Crump’s affidavit that he dumped on the court today so as to avoid today’s deposition:
Excellent story little known in America, but almost totally unknown to blacks. You’d think it would be featured in American history class, but you’d be wrong.
come on man,
This here b Floriduh
O'Mara also admitted in his motion that the prosecution is in compliance with the law, so I don't find the ruling surprising.
“Stand your Ground” defense = Zimmerman can go on with his life.
“Self Defense” = Zimmerman will be sued into poverty for the rest of his life.
fl law does not work that way.
travon was the one escalating to physical force.
The case is about lawyers wanting to be able to sue again. With stand your ground, the lawyers have a statutory prohibition against seeking civil damagaes.
(ps it also lowers insurance rate liability)
You expected differently? They are going to crucify Zimmerman. This trial is a mockery of justice--has been since the onset--and the obama administration, et al, intend to use it against law-abiding gun owners who fire in self-defense. Do not be surprised when we hear that "tragedies like this" are part of the reason citizens need to be disarmed.
Hearing hear here:

At 44:40 on the tape hear how Benjamin Crump has been promoted.
He is the Private Attorney General.
Zimmerman would not even be on trial if the politicians were not afraid of having to react to rioting negros.
