This article correctly points to the prosecutorial ineptness, but the problem all Americans with a functioning brain should be concerned rests in the attempted prosecution of a non-crime.

The police determined that Zimmerman had acted in self defense and prosecutors agreed--until the POS in the White Hut shoved his African-African nose into the matter and then the threat of mob violence forced these moral cowards to prosecute a charge of 2nd degree murder.

Perhaps the six jurors will add to this miscarriage and be so fearful that they will convict this unfortunate man , but I think a hung jury is the most likely outcome.

At any rate if George Zimmerman is properly exonerated it is a cinch he'll never vote for a Democrat again. He supported the POS that stated he could be Trayvon's father.

We can only pray for an acquittal, because this trial couldn't have happened at a better time. With statism on the ropes due to the central socialist government imploding on all fronts it points up the inherent evil of an all encompassing federal and state monster when they attempt to act in concert.

I predict a conviction on manslaughter. I hope not guilty on both but not too hopeful.

If it’s a hung jury, I think the state will try him again and again

You can’t help but wonder what the NSA has on the jurors.

Who in his right mind would ever hire George Zimmerman’s prosecutors?

A low budget comedy show aimed at the 75 IQ points market?

There is zero ineptness with the lack of an African American on the jury. None is required.
Who thought up this drivel?

I suspect that the liberals are hoping for an acquittal to further inflame racial conflicts, and to allow Holder to file a civil rights violation case against Zimmerman and the state of Florida

The prosecution is trying to make the case to the jury that is outside the courtroom.

This is off the Zimmerman issue, the author wrote:

"The client list of Don West and Mark O’Mara dries up if they perform the way their courtroom adversaries do. The prosecutors won’t be out of a job because of this fiasco. Because consequences rarely attach to actions in government, the state incentivizes recklessness."

This touches on a pet peeve of mine for decades. One, our legal system is fundamentally based on a misconception, ie the criminal cases are "The People" vs. George Zimmerman. Actually, it's the estate of Trayvon Martin vs George Zimmerman. It's any criminal action vs. the actual victim of that criminal action.

Again, off topic, that's why some crimes (prostitution, buying illegal drugs) are called "victimless", because there is no complaining victim. The "crime" is consensual.

So, if we would change the criminal law to reflect the reality of a criminal committing a crime against specific people, we could then privatize the prosecution. So, the Martin Family has Crump and Gang has lawyers, why can't they determine and hire the lawyers to prosecute their case? Why is this a State monopoly?

There are no consequences for the employees of the State, when they screw up. We should limit the number of State employees and get government out of everything we can.

Again, off topic, why not professionalize the jury system. They are the only ones in the legal system without legal advice. Why not have a new career of professional jurors? Their jobs would be dependent on coming to just verdicts, that would be their incentive. Would anyone hire members of the OJ or Casey Anthony Juries?
