Zimmerman might feel safer in custody when so many posses are after him. Why not win a Not Guilty verdict and get on with his life?
MSNBC is throwing up video from the night of the shooting (half screen) as a pretend perp walk during the prosecutors live statement as I type.
MSNBC needs a ladder to climb into the gutter.
I’m not a legal expert, so here’s my question:
If Zimmerman is charged with 2nd-degree murder, can a jury still decide to find him guilty of a lesser charge such as manslaughter?
Welcome to justice by mob rule.
Black thugs are protected by this govt.
My respect for this nation is gone

My gut tells me this is an old fashion case of charge big, and convict or plea to the lesser charge (manslaughter).
This was a freak show straight out of an African kangaroo court. I wonder if she received permission from the parents, or was encouraged, to use the trademark “Justice for Trayvon” phrase.
The 90 year old war veteran husband was beaten and his jaw broken. He was shot in the face numerous times with a BB gun and sent to the hospital in critical condition.
The 85 year old partially blind wife was RAPED and then BEATEN TO DEATH.
Can you just imagine the pain, the humiliation, the horror that dear old lady experienced being gang raped by that pack of feral animals?
(the autopsy states she was raped. Dont think all of these animals didnt all participate)
And can you imagine the pain, the horror of that dear old husband having to witness this?
Theres a lot more involved here than a home invasion and robbery.
WHERE ARE THE CHARGES OF A RACIAL HATE CRIME??
90 year old husbands jaw broken and shot in face with a BB gun numerous times?
85 wife year old semi blind wife RAPED and BEATEN to death??
Why does it take a foreign press to enlighten America as to this henious crime?
Where is the outrage?

Look. Here’s the deal. I really don’t have a dog in this hunt. If there really is evidence that damns Zimmerman, he can fry. If there isn’t, well, .... in this political climate, that is likely to be ignored. However, the public will get wind of any additional evidence that’s there.
It might be better to vacation somewhere a little bit safer...
There is no possible way he’ll get a “fair and impartial” jury.
Isn’t this interesting. First they say there’s no reason to prosecute Zimmerman, and then they prosecute him for second degree murder. Says a lot for the prosecutors, don’t you think?
“In order to convict a defendant in Florida of Second-degree murder, the State of Florida must prove the following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
1. The victim is dead;
2. The death was caused by the criminal act of the defendant;
3. There was an unlawful killing of the victim by an act imminently dangerous to another and demonstrating a depraved mind without regard for human life.”

The only element provable is someone is dead.
The rest of the elements are not proved by witness testimony, the transcripts of the call and, I suspect, the forensics.
I think the gutless States Attorney is laying on 2nd degree in the hope she can get a plea agreement for manslaughter.
She is gutless and a coward.
Obama gets reelected and we can expect the general lawlessness that pervades Mexico.
The coming race wars will be entirely on the shoulders of Obama and the Democrats. Well, the spineless Republicans are committing the [heinous] sin of omission and deserve to rot for that.
I thought it was the job of a special prosecutor to do an investigation to see if a crime has been committed, not how an accused person can be prosecuted.
Am I right??
