In addition, the testimony of prosecution witness after prosecution witness undermined the prosecution's own case. Some critics faulted the prosecuting attorneys. But the prosecutors had to work with what they had -- and they had no hard evidence that would back up a murder charge or even a manslaughter charge.
You don't send people to prison on the basis of what other people imagine, or on the basis of media sound bites like "shooting an unarmed child," when that "child" was beating him bloody.
The jury indicated, early on as their deliberations began, that they wanted to compare hard evidence, when they asked for a complete list of the testimony on both sides.
Once the issue boiled down to hard, provable facts, the prosecutors' loud histrionic assertions and sweeping innuendoes were just not going to cut it.
Nor was repeatedly calling Zimmerman a liar effective, especially when the prosecution misquoted what Zimmerman said, as an examination of the record would show.
The only real heroes in this trial were the jurors. They showed that this is still America -- at least for now -- despite politicians who try to cheapen or corrupt the law, as if this were some banana republic. Some are already calling for a federal indictment of George Zimmerman, after he has been acquitted.
Will this still be America then?

George is a hero.....so is his defense team, esp MOM and West.
That, and ... (tagline)
ABSOLUTELY.
Could you give just a sentence or two why you think the juror’s book will opinions we won’t like? I’m just zipping in and out and don’t have time to listen to a linked audio. Just a clue would be nice.
BUMP.
There was a photo circulating of Martin’s father with some gang rappers.
Those 6 women had BALLS and COMMON SENSE!!! Way to Go, GIRLS! Makes me proud!!
Would love to see it.
The photo I saw was a posed photo with a group of men standing facing the camera, about 5 IIRC. St. Skittles’ father was one, some rapper subhuman scum named something like Lil Wayne was one (he was grossly fat) and some others. I saw it maybe here but a good place to try is The Conservative Treehouse, they did phenomenal research about Trademarkvon. I was visiting the site quite often - they may have been the first place to find FB photos of Trademarkvon, I should visit more often.

I have no idea how to search for anything there, unfortunately.
