FGS, a police chief was fired because he DID his job! Everybody knows this whole trial is so wrong, yet NO ONE is going to do a F'n thing about it!
A trial that should never have taken place.
Trayvon Martin had a perfectly good opportunity to have just gone on back to the unit that was SUPPOSED to have been his destination, and he decided instead to pursue a little game of “cat and mouse”, somehow believing himself to be the cat. Pouncing on the “mouse”, and playing around with it a little, only to discover the “mouse” was armed, the game got a whole lot more deadly in an instant.
There is no demonstrable indication that Zimmerman had even attempted to draw his gun, until Martin evidently felt the presence of the holster, and laid off his pummeling of Zimmerman long enough to make a grab for the gun. So for some few seconds, it was not Zimmerman’s gun, or Martin’s gun, but THE gun. It was a matter of sheer happenstance that Zimmerman got the firmest grasp, and managed to fire it at close range up through Martin’s chest.
There had to be an “Aw, SH*T!” moment maybe for both participants.
The appellate courts will, if it gets that far. Thankfully, such blatant misconduct would gain no sympathy from the state appellate judges, whose job is to analytically review lower court decisions. Judge Nelson has been overturned before.
The conduct of the prosecutors and judge has been so grossly unfair to Zimmerman that one might think they've behaved outrageously on purpose in order to insure that any conviction will be overturned - just in case the jury ignorantly convicts him. I'm not saying that's the case, as it would seem too cute by half. But if Zimmerman's going to get a rigged trial, we should be glad that the court's bias and misconduct has been so obvious. Clumsily, hamfistedly obvious.
