To the extent I come across as excessively contrarian, it’s because I frankly find it boring to essentially post “me too, I agree” type posts. So, I am more likely to post in a thread where I disagree with some or all of what is being said than a thread where I agree with what is being said. In the Zimmerman-Martin case, I tend not to agree with the “general beliefs of the people who use this site,” as you put it, in that the “general beliefs” appear to be that Zimmerman is 100% innocent, while I am hesitant to reach any conclusion before we see all of the facts and evidence.
Then we are in some ways alike.
I’m pretty confident based on what I’ve read and seen, that Zimmerman is innocent on grounds of self defense. The burden of proof is on your side.
Before today I was doubtful that there would even be a trial. If what is in the public domain is any indicator, it is doubtful you could find a jury to convict. I don’t know if ‘over-charging’ is allowed as a tactic in FL. As a strategy it would seem very unethical in this case. That is what I consider the ‘conservative’ argument. I believe this because my conscience tells me.

Well, I guess you’re one of those folks who doesn’t believe that strange American concept of INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY?
