I believe that Zimmerman's only hope for not being killed in prison by black inmates during his first month there is total isolation from the rest of the inmates for the entire long prison term that the obviously biased judge will no doubt lay on him when he's convicted. IMHO this trial has been preordained from day one to punish Zimmerman and whites in general whether he's guilty of a crime or not.
If anyone thought that prior to the time when Civil Rights laws were enacted white "justice" was actually white IN-justice in many if not all criminal cases involving blacks, (and as a native-born small town southernor who was born and raised during that time I admit that it often was) then they must now admit that the worm has turned, the shoe is on the other foot, and any other "old saying" that I can remember now applies in reverse to the current situation.
You make good points, but Zimmerman is obviously not “white.” Look at his mom and his uncle. They’re obviously HIspanic, I would think largely of South American Indian ancestry. It’s true that they seems to be a very nice family that wanted nothing more than to assimilate into the larger American culture, but that doesn’t make them “white” to anybody but a Democrat!
