Uh yeah. So Zimmerman has the burden of proof on that question.
IF Trayvon's mother had done that, we'd all be thinking she was a class act... and she'd be getting our respect... But it didn't happen and it won't happen...
financially prosecution has an infinite advantage.
perhaps we need a prosecution pays rule. It comes from their budgets and pensions. This includes the judge.
Clear that the judge is doing everything she can to evade blame for a “not guilty” verdict.
The DA is doing the best she can with what she’s got, which is nothing. She’s putting everything out there - likewise evading blame by making it perfectly clear there is no way to get a conviction.
The jury, I expect, will return a bought verdict. They are the only ones having an independent and unquestionable legal ability to act independent of any factors including law and facts. The current administration is very good at identifying and manipulating such independent actors. Which way it will go, I can’t tell, but it will be however someone wants it to. The media is putting a LOT of focus on this, so persuading 6 people to agree on the word “not” is used will have a profound effect on many millions of people.
He’s likely to be acquitted because he is not guilty and there is not a shred of evidence that he committed any crime.
Yes, an affirmative defense like self-defense is a complete or partial defense that raises additional facts. Even if what the state says is true, it exculpates the defendant.
If you thought the last several days were embarrassing for the Obama administration, vis a vis the great state of Florida, buh-buh-baby—you ain’t seen nuthin yet.
The press should butt out, but it’ll never happen. Bastards.
Rodney King is a class act compared to her.
Well, that too...
Agreed. Judges are for sale in this Obama-nation.
I would say it’s the POLITICAL MACHINE that is trying to convict an innocent man.

As I recall, the local Florida LEOs/DA so no reason to charge Zim with a crime. Then, the racists jumped in and put a bounty on Zim’s head; Al Sharptounge did his racist rant, etc.
Then, A. Corey, the State Prosecutor, held a presser for the MSM and said they were charging Zim with Murder 2. Let the record show that only 5 days later she was re-elected!
Definitely politics at play!
Correction...
As I recall, the local Florida LEOs/DA ...SAW... no reason
I have seen different versions of Trayvon’s size, anywhere form 158 to over 200 pounds. I am not sure which is right but he apparently was NOT a little fellow. I am about six four and 250 and the first reports made me expect that a Viking type who looked as I did in my twenties had stalked and murdered a small black child for absolutely no reason other than bloodthirst.
I joined the Navy while still seventeen, I was logged in by the guy doing the physical as six three and one half inches and 169 pounds, a veritable beanpole but I don’t think anyone of Zimmerman’s actual size would have had much chance against me in a brawl and certainly not if I sucker punched him in the nose at the start. A broken nose is far from “insignificant” as the prosecutor claimed in this case.
A lot of us here don't seem to have a lot of faith in women in general. We'll see, soon.
He and the other homosexual justices should have recused themselves from the homosexual marriage issue- but that's another thread.
