Two- Despite enormous outside pressure from media and the demonstrators(lynch mob) outside the courthouse, they will not get 12 people to totally ignore the evidence and convict.

I'd bet the MSM and the Racist groups involved will work overtime to identify the jurors, and in the event of acquittal, will go after them and their families as well. Such threats may precede the verdict. This is truly becoming an 'Odinga moment', where the mob may determine an outcome not provided for in the Constitution.

In three years, Obama/Holder/Soros have already come close to destroying our country. They ignore the law DAILY. The Constitution doesn’t exist. They threaten the SCOTUS, and Holder allows black gangsters to put out a death warrant on a free man.;tigers eye.

There is no REAL case against this man, or he would have been indicted a month ago. This is 100% politics. If Obama is re-elected, we will be in a civil war within 12 months, or we will be enslaved....one or the other.

“If he goes to trial, Capt. Zimmerman will be found not guilty as juries tend not to convict law enforcement heroes for actions taken while on duty”

AMEN. If I were a Chief of Police I would hire him in a heartbeat. He was doing his job and this thug almost killed him in the process. Thank God he was armed. If not for the weapon he would be dead.

Glendale...

That's right, I think you may have mentioned that a while back but I forgot.

I used to work on E. Broadway and Glendale Blvd, on the corner of Adams if you are familiar with it.

Refraining comment until I hear the actual charges.

Yep, me too....am not convinced this isn't more of the media drama being played out on the stage.... better people wait and see.

Furthermore how do we know this isn't just a cover and they've already taken Zimmerman out of the country knowing well to do anything less will incite further race issues.

People can and do get lost and that with help and purpose....so this could all be a smoke screen which they know in time people will simply forget about....what we'll see next will Be "fake" spotting's of people seeing Zimmerman here and there....makes for good media engagement and sells media.

If any jury votes unanimously for acquittal for any reason, every one of the jurors will live in fear in perpetuity.....and will be lucky if his or her house isn't burned down within weeks.

Would YOU serve on this jury?

They'll be lucky if they even IMPANEL a willing jury. It could end up all black for the above reasons. That's why Mr. Zimmerman's odds with a jury may be nil to nada.

The State is going to get more than it bargained for....and WE will get to pay the million$ that the trial and various security/protections will cost the taxpayers.

My bet is manslaughter which is what I said he would be charged with all along, and have been flamed ad naseum by certain folks here for daring to point out the obvious. Zimmerman’s actions, like it or not, had a direct inpact on the events that followed. He cannot claim pure victim here.

It's hard to define but you'll know it when you see it. Keep your powder dry and your head on a swivel.

Well said.

the "Claire Wolf moment"

If Zimmerman is really charged, I think the "awkward phase" is over.

so why charge a guy, who if given a fair trial would inevitably go free on reasonable doubt.

Oh, wiat I know. Because there won;t be a fair trial.

Oh and of course if there is an zimmerman goes free Eric, the black racist, Holder will trump up “civil rights” charges.

The racial jihadists will have their lynching one way or another.

I think TigersEye summed it up rather nicely at #158.

Said it all without really having to say it.
