Unless I'm misunderstanding him (distinctly possible) the legal analyst for Orlando's Channel 9 (whose feed I've been watching) seems to be saying that the prosecution is carrying the day so far.That may just be wishful thinking from a typical Maoist Obama-loving lawyer...or maybe,having seen the jurors,he gets the sense that none of them can be mistaken for rocket scientists (a la the OJ jury).Or maybe he's right...maybe the “typical” jury,having heard *this* evidence,would vote to convict.

My take is the media mob WANTS rioting and general craziness if Zimmerman is found not guilty. That boosts ratings and sells papers. So even though anyone paying attention knows the prosecution has been an absolute disaster, they tell the low-information viewer that, "Boy, that prosecution is doing an INCREDIBLY GREAT job! Zimmerman's going to be convicted for sure!" Thus, if Zimmerman is acquitted, the low-information viewer goes apoplectic: "This was a slam-dunk for the prosecution! The fix is in! Where's my baseball bat???"

The James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies has sort of become a primer for today's "journalism." Why wait around for things to happen when you can make them happen yourself?
