Zimmerman is looking a lot like Chaz Bono these days, so maybe he does have a chance.
You bring up an important and many-times-neglected point. I've been on several juries in my time....and the actual physical looks and demeanor of a defendant play an enormous part in the final verdict.
George Z. has gained a lot of weight the past months probably due to lack of regular exercise during his long "laying-low" period. His face now looks more "babyish" and cherubic ......plus he's always had a rather vulnerable, soft-eyed "deer caught in the headlights" look about him.
It's a face that a lot of mothers could love...and a face that female jurors could very well warm to.
In short, he doesn't look or carry himself like an axe murderer as the state prosecution kangaroos and the Obama-Jackson-Sharpton race-pimps try to portray him.
