You talk just talk to hear yourself talk.
The police watched the video and charged him with murder and his lawyer deserted him, and you want to keep rambling.
How many times can you get on a discussion forum and tell people to quit discussing the news and crimes because they are not in a court room?

As I said in an earlier post, this case is still in the academic area for me. The reason is this: There is not enough evidence being shown to us for us to really have a clear picture of what happened. But it will almost certainly be forthcoming in the months ahead.
And so far, I still see this as in the vein of the Boston Massacre. Doesn’t mean he’s innocent or guilty, but I see him as innocent until a preponderance of evidence makes it clear.
I just don’t believe in a rush to judgement - regarding ANYONE.
Where I am coming from:
I was coming home from work one day and some guy was driving wildly trying to pass me on a two lane road with lots of traffic. He did a crazy maneuver to get around me and I watched him do that with car after car. This was a beautiful summer afternoon commute in Seattle suburbs.
So, after about five miles of this (and it was SERIOUSLY crazy) he got on the open road and went around a corner where I could not see him. As I went around the corner he had slid off the road and into the ditch, almost hitting a woman jogger.
My thoughts were, “that poor guy. I wonder if his wife just left him or he lost his job.” But the rest of the people (those of us he passed and not stopped to subdue him) helping me hold him down were filled with anger and bitterness about what he did.
I thought what he was doing was very inappropriate and, lets be honest, someone could have been killed. But it was obvious to me that this was a “special day” for this guy. I was interested in the mitigating circumstances.
Not that that justifies his actions, and if he had hit the jogger and she had been my wife I’d feel very differently. But he didn’t.
I just approach this stuff differently. I want to see the whole story before I start condemning characters in the story. That day will come, however.
Zimmerman’s first lawyers abandoned him, too.
