This is the real Obama statement.
The other about “jury has spoken” was sleight of hand. Watch the other hand, which in that case was this one.
Preponderance of the evidence to show negligence is what one talking head said would be required. Then he said that Zimmerman “following” and “not identifying himself” would play into negligence.
My sense is that he did NOT get a chance to do those things because he was in his truck for the most part at night in the rain. When he did get out, he was just checking to see direction and that was what the dispatcher meant by following. We’re not talking about STALKING which is a repeated pattern of unwanted attention type following, and is the type of following that is illegal.
More than that, they won’t have the failure to have discovery and they will have the info about Martin’s fighting, burglary tools, drugs and paraphernalia, and his racist and sexist commentary.
O’Mara seemed to have a “bring it on” attitude yesterday.
The media is doing a great disservice in continuing to play their “child Trayvon stalked and murdered” meme. They are nuts and there is a reason they want this moment to be a racial moment. Wagging the dog, but I’m not sure the direction I should be looking.

Also, stalkers don’t call 911 or let the police know where to meet them.
