I agree, this is a "Show Trial" with a predetermined outcome. If the jury screws up and acquits Zimmerman, not only will there be hell to pay in some of the major cities with large Africanamerican populations but I believe that the Jury members names and addresses will be "leaked" to the mobs. Then after the dust settles, the Federals will come up with something to try him again. Double Jeopardy? of course, but getting the proper results is more important to them than the Constitution.

You are absolutely correct, and I've posted as much elsewhere. The Feds have already established that precedent with the Rodney King beating trial.

The situation reminds me of a statement I read once by a fascist political theorist. "What is just is what an Aryan (liberal) man says is just". In other words - it's what liberals feel that matters, not the law or true justice.
