What I can’t understand is how the judge accepted this pathetic piece of sh... er, *work* at Zimmerman’s hearing yesterday, and decided it was sufficient to support the murder 2 charge.

Because of the manipulation and lies of the networks, threats and intimidation by flamethrower Sharpton and pals, and a pronouncement by racist Mad Maxine on the floor of Congress that Trayvon was hunted down like a dog and shot, there is no way Zimmerman can ever get a fair trial. The jury pool across the country is hopelessly tainted.

I read it. It read like the prosecution’s closing arguments. It was laughable.

I have a question that I’ve wondered about. When the cops told Zimmerman to quit following the other guy, was Zimmerman in his car?

Pardon me for the dumb question.

I know why she does not want to go to a Grand Jury, but how
does she get away with not going to the Grand Jury? It
would seem to me that it is required under the 5th Amendment.

Something about not being held to answer for a capital or
otherwise infamous crime without...

just asking.

Can you imagine being the lone juror who refuses to be intimidated, doesn’t find Zimmerman guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and the Black Panthers put a bounty on your head?

Don’t say something like that couldn’t happen in this country, because it already has happened, hasn’t it?

This is a 21st Century American version of a 1930s Stalinist Show Trial.

In this version, it begins with the media.

And of course, it’s already begun.

If you look at the actions in court through the lens of the US Constitution, you are not seeing what’s really going on.

This is High Communism in action, with the full pressure of a Thugocracy in the White House backed up by the threat of large numbers of anonymous murders roaming the streets seeking revenge.

No jury will acquit this man. Juries have families. They don’t want their families dead.

Zimmerman is going down, as surely as any Enemy of the People in 1930s Stalinist Russia. And we are all going to watch it happen in the media.

We all have a ringside seat to an incredible injustice.

Another good analysis, this from Andrew McCarthy.

Zimmerman “confronted Martin and a struggle ensued"

Seems like the guy who got fired from NBC wrote this affidavit. "Zimmerman confronted Martin (true) [...edited...] and a struggle ensued (true),”

The missing piece, edited out, is [lost sight of Martin, returned to his car, was then attacked by Martin]

Put this back in and it reads: Zimmerman confronted Martin lost sight of Martin, returned to his car, was then attacked by Martin and a struggle ensued

Quite a different picture!

It’s pretty easy to hang the special prosecutor on this stuff, but what if... Just, what if...
I understand that the defendant may invoke the FL self defense statute as an affirmative defense in these cases. And, he/she can do so at the very start of the trial (maybe earlier?). Further, the judge must rule on that defense motion before anything else can move forward. SO, what if the special prosecutor intentionally overcharged the case, so as to give the trial judge an ‘out’ for the self defense claim?
Obama still gets to tell the faithful that the case was properly brought, and that the real problem is that damn FL self defense statute. The race baiters are never going to be placated, no matter what happens. And, the NBP can continue their tinpot army antics, as they will under any circumstances.
The finer legal minds here on FR can pick this apart much better than I can; but, it seems to me that there may be other ulterior motives in play, not just “hang Zimmerman” BS.

25 years of Prosecution here. There is NO doubt there is probable cause for Voluntary. I am a little surprised at 2nd degree but just carrying the gun and following when told not to gets you there.

None of this means he is guilty, but the analysis is replete with ppl with agendas and who know nothing about what they speak.

Charging Zimmerman is an EASY call.

The political wags will weigh in ad nauseum. Ppl who actually think they “know the Constitution” will do so too. Fortunately, none of these people are involved in the case. Good attys on both sides. The system is working.

Trayvon Martin’s mother identified the voice crying for help on a 9-1-1 call as her son’s.

That is really weak since they have at least one eye witness who says it was Zimmerman crying for help.

The writer must not have gotten the memo.
Zimmerman is going to be found guilty. Somehow someway. This is pure politics.
Even if a jury finds him not guilty here, then the Feds will step in and charge some civil rights violation.

The prosecutor revealed herself to be nothing more than a buffoon in front of the cameras the other day. A pure political hack.

Zimmermans’ attorney should call Sharpton, Jackson, Maxine Waters and big O to testify on what they know about this case, they should also call NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN to testify about how they manipulated the facts in this case. If nothing else, it would be funny to watch.

So a latino wannabe cop encountered a black wannabe gangsta thug on that fateful night and now all the white people are being blamed. It’s a perfect storm.

If someone was beating the snot of you and you were armed would you shoot them?..

Romney voters most likely wouldn’t..
Obama voters would be doing the beating..

Newt voters would shoot him right in the eye..
