How does a prosecutor prove a case of second degree murder when it’s shown the defendant was beaten to a pulp before he resorted to defending himself?
Now it’s easy to comprehend why the police didn’t charge Zimmerman right after the incident.
That's why I've been saying the media narrative is a load of crap since day one.
Only a truther level idiot could believe the cops would give up a murder conviction for anything. as worthless as "racism."
I’m not certain that this applies in Florida courts, but in my state, if a prosecutor charges an individual with a crime and the judge instructs the jury that they can find that person guilty of a lessor crime, they can do so.
I felt from the beginning that the prosecutor set the bar high to ensure that a jury would find Mr. Zimmerman guilty, if not of second degree homicide, at least a lessor offense.
Having spent my career in law enforcement, I was adamant that a person be charged with the appropriate crime commensurate with his actions, nothing more nothing less. In Mr. Zimmerman’s case, from the evidence I have heard and seen, the issue should have been resolved by a thorough, competent investigation, period. I see jury nullification/fear of riots in Mr. Zimmerman’s case, I fear.
