Some blacks will see what they want to see no matter what. As a white man, I’m apparently not “qualified” to speak on matters of racial discrimination, but Zimmerman is presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty. That works for all people regardless of skin color.
I want Zimmerman to be imprisoned (or executed) if he truly stalked and murdered Trayvon. I believe people are capable of seeing beyond race and judging the case on its merits. I trust the jury to reach the right decision. They may judge wrongly, but I don’t know of a better alternative than trial by one’s peers.
That said, I just don’t think the state has made its case. Reasonable doubt has to go to the defendant—not the state.
I agree completely
