The Judge, just like the Prosecutor in Jacksonville, is covering her a$$. She doesn’t want to be known as the judge that let Zimmerman off the hook and caused the riots, that are already gearing up.
She, surely, has set up an appellant court win if Zimmerman is convicted.
If this judge gets to the appellate level, there should be riots about that.
I'll double down on that. This judge seems quite frightened about riots, and it seems to be influencing her judgement.
I can understand why. With this emotional powderkeg, black riots may bring on serious white backlash.
Que' sera, sera... whatever will be, will be.
