Bingo, these talking heads have been ginning up the brothers for 2 weeks now. I fully expect that when the not guilty verdict comes down all holy heckoly is going to break loose in all the the big cities.

Thank goodness that FL is a CCW state.

No.

Only in the big cities still restricting second amendment rights.
The lesson of the Korean Shop owners will prevail elsewhere.

That underlying threat is what the prosecution is counting on for a conviction. The message, which they must never say out loud, but will be conveyed to the jury in a multitude of small indirect ways is simple:

"If Zimmerman walks, all Hell will explode and many people will die. Put him away for a couple of years, and things will stay calm. Isn't the freedom of this one man, who was probably a bit over overly aggressive, worth it to keep the peace?"

This, in a nutshell, is their entire case and they know it, the media knows it, and the defense knows it. What's more, reasoned to an all female jury, it's probably going to be quite effective. These women will rationalize their decision as noble in ways aimed at promoting universal peace and harmony. I mean, tough luck on Zimmerman, but hey, sometimes sacrifices have to be made.

The defense only has one chance and it is not "reasonable doubt about guilt", it's "overwhelming proof of innocence".

I am not sure if they have reached that level.
