With that headline, "The Orlando Slantinel" is very good, but still too kind.

This is all about political manipulation to sacrifice Zimmerman in a political show trial that puts the Communists to shame.

Zimmerman's only hope is that the government gets their hand picked judge, and he turns on them, and/or several very cunning nullification jurors.

There will be several trials.

What the jury nullification proponents never seem to realize is that it is a two-edged sword.

The OJ jurors practiced it, as did the jury in To Kill a Mockingbird. If the evidence is as is presently out there, the Zimmerman jury might have to do so in order to convict.

Conviction of an obviously innocent man because you dislike his politics or skin color is just as much jury nullification as is acquittal of a guilty one because you approve of his politics.
