What a waste of Florida time, money, and resourses! The man is out on bail. Why do this just to satisfy the screamers? We know and they know that in the end, no jury will ever convict this guy. So they are just messing with him in doing this.

I hope you’re right but am not that confident. I doubt that reasonable and fair persons will make it onto the jury, and with the pressure being put upon jury members to come up with a guilty verdict — and actual risk of retaliation if they don’t — I think a guilty verdict is possible. This is like the Simpson murder trial, but with the pressure being for conviction.
Zimmerman’s best hope is that some of that pressure will go away before the trial. I’ve seen some progress, but not much. Information about his injuries may have helped some. I doubt if that’s enough, though, to get through to the racists and idiots.
