The THUG was not on trial, so he gets no jury of peers or otherwise. In the court of public opinion the verdict was proper because Zimmerman got a fair trial.
His “peers” were named ‘Smith’ and ‘Wesson’.
Trayvon WAS on trial, and he DID have a jury... but it was a jury of 1, and the choice was not aggravated assault, battery, or attempted murder. The choice was a simple upstairs or downstairs. I suspect this juror’s decision was downstairs.
Indeed, George’s opponent was the city of Sanford (or, was it the county or the state of Floriduh?), and not TM, nor TM’s family.
Very true.
But for argument's sake, assume Trayvon survived the encounter with George Zimmerman.
In that case Trayvon, would have been charged with aggravated assault:
And had the case gone to trial, he would have been entitled to the very same jury as Zimmerman got.
Amazing that the person who says he would "stake his law license on it" seems to have no idea what a "jury of one's peers" means.
"Peers" in this case does not mean people of the same age, race, religion etc. It means people who are selected from a broad cross-section of the population in the district where the alleged crime took place.
