napscoordinator, I used to be in the same spot you’re in. I was here on Free Republic last year arguing with people until I was blue in the face about Zimmerman being an obvious racist murderer who deserved the worst punishment they could give him. But people on here convinced me to look hard at the actual evidence in the case, and so I headed over to the Conservative Treehouse and to Mike McDaniel’s blog Stately McDaniel Manor and examined the evidence that was available at that time (around April of last year). I found that I was being presented with a very, very flawed picture of what happened in this case. In the year since then, ALL of the additional evidence that has come out has supported Zimmerman’s side of the story. The only mildly positive thing that’s happened for the State is that there is a voice “expert” who claims that he’s certain it’s Trayvon Martin screaming for help, but that guy is a kook. There simply is no evidence in this case to support the conclusion that George Zimmerman hunted Trayvon Martin down and shot him in cold blood, or any of the other things that the Trayvonites attribute to George.

Seriously, check out the Updates on this case on those two blogs from way back in April and May of last year. Then come back here and tell us if you still feel the same way.
