Zimmerman’s attorney Mark O’Mara sounds very confident.
I would be confident too if I were him, given the reported facts.
Most of the speculation on these threads and in the media about the case has nothing to do with the relevant legal issues.
The case will turn on only one issue, who initiated the physical aspect of the altercation and whether Martin was on top of him beating him when he used his gun.
The state will have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Martin did NOT initiate the physical contact and Martin was not on top of him beating him when Zimmerman used his gun.
I simply don’t see how it is possible for the state to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt based on any facts publicly reported.
The best thing for Zimmerman may well be a long trial in which the true facts get a full public airing notwithstanding the efforts of the MSM. Obviously, there is a risk of a biased and unreasonable jury, but that is Zimmerman’s best shot for the long run in wanting to be able to live a reasonably normal life after acquittal.
This case is a piece of cake... this is a joke..
Doesnt matter what facts come out, the race hustlers could care less.
Not guilty verdict for Zimmerman will result in the usual thug behavior and then AG Holder will trump up federal charges against him.
The only thing that really bothers me is what he said at his against-legal-counsel interview with the DA’s office.
If there are facts here that are unreleased and GZ is truthfully guilty of something, I have no problem with him being charged, but man - If he went and gave an interview to a hostile DA and answered a question “incorrectly,” and gave the DA ammunition to trump up a charge, I’m just as frustrated wtih GZ as I am with the prosecutor. He should have known better than to talk to her without counsel present.
That aside, her demeanor was certainly unprofessional and gave the impression of a lack of objectivity or distance from the events.
