they are saying george had a depraved mind

"depraved mind" is a phrase of shyster weasel words which has no meaning in the material world.

Well there's likely video from the 7-11 Martin went to....they generally have them rolling. This would establish some time frames.

Here say says there's some question if he paid for the candy and drinks....again the video would attest to that either way.

Also the police video when they brought Zimmerman into the precinct.

Also the toxicology report on Martin would be interesting....I haven't heard if that's been released or not.

Based on the standard of preponderance Zimmerman is clearly innocent. But this case is political, not legal, so the usual standards are irrelevant. This is the beginning of mob rule in Florida, which was tried but stifled in 2000.

[[GEORGE ZIMMERMAN, did unlawfully and by an act imminently dangerous to another,]]

Absolute bull shit- following someone is NOT an act imminently dangerous to anyone

[[and evincing a depraved mind regardless of human life,]]

Whwen did that happen? WHILE George was having his head bashed agaisnt hte sidewalk?

[[although without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual,]]

So, apparently George has a ‘depaived mind’ according to corey, but in his ‘depraved’ condition, george was apparently still lucid enoguh to decide not to kill martin? But but but I thought, according to hte black comunity, that george hunted down martin with the express intent of killing him?

[[and during the commission of the aforementioned Second Degree Murder, the said GEORGE ZIMMERMAN did carry, display, use, threaten to use or attempt to use a firearm]]

And corey in her infinate wisom and psychic abilities has determined this how again? How has she determiend who held the gun, pulled the trigger, or whether or not george was simpyl tryign to wrestle the gun back from trayvon after trayvon went for the gun with an express probable intent to use it on george when it went off?

[[and did actually possess and discharge a firearm and as a result of the discharge, death or great bodily harm was inflicted upon any person]]

And htis is against hte law when standing your ground agaisnt someone who was tryign to kill zimmerman? and how again does corey know it was zimmerman who discharged the gun and notr soem accidental discharge? Even if zimmerman was the oen to discharge, did he not have the right to do so in order to protect his own life agaqisntr someone trying to murder him? IF he infact DID have the right to discharge the gun, then why in the hell is he beign arrested? On What Charges?

Corey had to INVENT charges, assume unkowns, and make stuff up agaisnt Zimmerman in order to have him arrested

Probably whomever is in the location this occured I suspect...but am not knowledable at all about how that may be determined....the whole affair wil be a tangled web..a maze already in fact, before this is said and done...which likely includes the Judges as well as all those involved in a legal sense.

Forget it, The fact is simple: the woman caved in to fear. She decided to let the mob decide the fate of George Zimmerman.

[[Overcharged? IMO, yes.]]

Let’s hope this gets thrown out of court before it even gets to triasl, and then that zimmerman sues and wins agaisnt florida for falsely charging him with a crime he did NOT commit

I would hope Governor Scott would do the same thing for Zimmerman if he is wrongly convicted.

Hope all you want but don't hold your breath. Not a chance in hell of this pardon happening if the situation arises.

[[and that he somehow wasn’t justified taking a gun with him simply because a lot of property crimes had occurred.]]

He had a conceal permit an d was justified carrying it anywhere he liked- Zimmerman also wasn’t ‘indifferent to martin’s safety’ because he didn’t have his gun out wavign it at martin, and also because he didn’t initiate contact wityh martin- martin criminally assaulted zimmerman first, so it was martin who was indifferent to zimmerman’s safety- I hoep she does go that route- it WILL backfire on her

The gun charges are just an add-on to enhance sentencing. If he is not convicted of murder, he won’t be convicted on those, either. They have to do with using or brandishing in the commission of the crime.

[[It is a sad day when you have to go to Court to “prove” your innocence.]]

In Florida, and many other states apprently, the innocent are guilty until proven innocent, while the guilty are innocent until proven guilty- hte left ism ore cocnerned with protecting criminals than they are about protecting hte innocent, hence why we have so many laws restricting the innocent from owning firearms for self protection and why there are so many rules agaisnt hte use of firearms in the prtection of life

The prosecutor met with the kid’s parents and prayed with him

Omigod. I had not heard this. Is this true? Anyone have a link? Dear god in heaven. Zimmerman is being set up by shitholes running the state of Florida.

There’s much we don’t know which might prove his innocence

The very idea that he has to "prove his innocence" shows how perverted this case is. Totally political, nothing of any legal significance involved. The Cory whore talking about "justice for the victim" may as well have been debbie wasserman schultz talking.

George Zimmerman is screwed. By the rule of the mob.

it is the socialist’s hope that after having flamed the fire of hatred agaisnt whitey, that the courts will push for makign it illegal to own a gun or make it so tough that practiaclly noone cdaqn own one- the only way to have socialism is to prevent citizens from havign guns

There is a big sign outside the gated community: “under video surveilance”

I find it very odd that no one is calling for it. Hope Z gave a copy to someone (Hannity?)

Re: All those calls scattered over what time period?

Zimmerman made slightly less than one call per month.

All those calls were to the non-emergency police number.

It's not clear how often he was on Watch, so it may in fact be a lot of calls.

However, there were something like 8 burglaries in that complex in 12 months, at least 3 of them by young Black males.

There was also a home invasion - two Black males kicked down a door, while a mother and daughter locked themselves in a bedroom.

One last important fact.....

Zimmerman was not on Watch the night of the shooting.

He was returning from the store, spotted Martin walking around in a steady rain staring at townhouses, and the rest is history.

On Greta’s legal panel, the assumption was they’d probably skip the prelim, go straight to discovery and trial, in about 6 months.
