I heard a defense attorney say that while she believed in the jury process and felt that they had reached the right decision, “George Zimmerman being found not guilty does not mean he is innocent.”
The first thing that came to my mind is every client she has should fire her and that no one should employ her services ever again. Imagine, your defense attorney, for which you have paid handsomely, wins your case and then does an interview where she suggests that even though you were found not guilty it doesn’t mean you’re innocent.

THOSE ARE THE FACTS.
Indeed they are.
Thousands of black killed every year by other blacks and it doesn’t faze them.
A baby killed in it’s baby carriage because it was white-—no outrage. A girl and her boyfriend raped extensively killed and burned. Not one word against it.
But a Hispanic ,called a white man ,kills a black ,in self-defense and it’s riot time.
Her statement was legally correct. Being a lawyer, she may have been trying to inform you a defendant who is found "not guilty" in a trial may not be innocent. Think O.J. Simpson.
On the other hand, she probably would also say some people who are found "guilty" are actually innocent.
Don't read too much into her comment.
A lot of it has to do with blacks saying and doing what is expected of them. Also there’s the fact that most blacks get their news on the street.
I know an inner city pastor in Detroit who has taken a lot of heat for speaking the truth. He’s saying that whether you agree with the verdict or not, the shooting probably wouldn’t have happened without a well deserved “cultural” reputation. In one sense he blames Trayvon’s father for being typical of black fathers. He says they love their sons but not enough to be true fathers.
I know the type of man he’s talking about. I used to work with a black man who was the proud papa to a half dozen drug dealing thugs. When one of his sons was shot in the leg, daddy seemed to be proud of it like the boy had bravely faced a threat. Real fathers don’t want their sons involved in crap like that.
Blacks have been told so often tha they are victims of racism, that they believe it even when it isn;t true. Many, especially those trapped in the hood, believe that racism is the reason they are there but constantly berate those who try to leave through education and hard work.
My little town has one black family. The father says they’re here because he and his wife are here because they were not going to let the hood hold their 3 kids down.
His father fled Detroit with his family during the riots and moved to Jackson. When he grew up he moved his family out here.The whole family are nothing but fine upstanding citizens.
I think a lot of blacks would be brought over to a consistant, constitutionally conservative message. The problem is the puppet-masters in the Republican party. They’re only interested in greater wealth and power for their sponsors.
I would like to see some of them take a trip to Africa and visit some of the villages that are at the end of the road.
See what their lives would be like if they had never been brought here as slaves, if they still lived in Africa. No one would want to stay. Let them come back and see what they told the others.
If I was black I would be so grateful that I had been delivered from Africa. What a hell hole!
lol. The central plank of the Democrat platform when McClellan ran against Lincoln in 1864 was to sue for peace with the South and keep all blacks slaves.
Yeah, they're so blind. And stupid.
Who do they think the slavemasters were? The very ones who are raping them today. geez!
It took a Republican to free blacks from their servitude and a Democrat to try to keep them in their place.
But they ain't quite bright enough to figure it out. Must be alla free stuff.
Yes, they are. In a country of 316 million, the 12.5 percent black minority commits nearly 50 percent of the crimes. Most of this crime, 93 percent, is committed against other blacks. About 2 percent of the young black males are gang bangers, thugs, burglars, rapists, muggers, thieves, and murderers.
Now, instead of cleaning up their mess within the black community, the majority of the blacks heed the siren calls of Sharpton, Jackson, and Obama to blame all their ills on white racism. Horse hockey. The black minority aren't victims (though the paint themselves as victims); they are the CAUSE.
The black’s nihilistic life style choices are their problem because it leads nowhere but crime, self destruction, and death (primarily to other blacks). However, none dares speak the obvious truth. It is totally disgusting and there is a real backlash building.
And monumentally stupid to boot.
Not merely blind, but given their outbursts in this post-racialist age, they are ignorant, deaf and dumb, too.
Yes,
My last line where I commented was “I think he gets it.” I’ve been reading his columns for a long time and find him extremely insightful and common-sensical. Occasionally I do have to look up some of the words he uses. LOL! But to most of the racists he’s just “uppity” and a sell out. And I agree that a lot of these folks, who were sold by their fellow tribesmen, are slightly better off(sarc) than if their ancestors hadn’t been sold. A quick trip to the dark continent and the horrific living conditions there should have them kissing the ground when they get back stateside.
Think many of them know the real truth about the demokkkrats? I read somewhere that LBJ said(concerning the civil rigthts act) if the dems gave them just a little, not too much, they’d have them “N’s” voting demokkkrat for a 100 years. Don’t remember the exact quote. The kkk hunted down errant blacks and republicans and lynched them.
There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.
A little perspective: if George Zimmerman were an Orthodox Christian, his priest would certainly have imposed a penance on him for taking Trayvon Martin’s life, even though under the law (and rightly so) it was a homicide justified by self-defense. Our canonical tradition has a canonical penance for soldiers who kill in war — three years excommunication (contrast with the canonical penance for murder — lifelong excommunication with communion of the Holy Mysteries on the deathbed only). (I should note, the canonical penances are rarely applied in practice, but mostly serve as a guide to the relative severity of sins.)
Homicide is never an innocent act, though in the fallen world, it is sometimes a necessary act, sometimes an act which is the least of the evils some circumstance presents to our prudential judgement. Our law rightly recognizes homicide in self-defense as one such circumstance, and imposes no temporal punishment. The verdict in the Zimmerman case was correct, but sub specie aeternitatis, none of us are innocent — as the Scriptures say “no man liveth and sinneth not”.
