Only the ignorant and the biased would believe that a neighborhood watchman deserves to be charged with murder because something violent happened (no matter what that violent thing was) because he was not in his truck but was on foot watching a suspicious person. I’ve heard callers to talk shows repeat that allegation ad nauseum and I am sick of it. I hope it is so blown out of the water it never comes down again.
If defense does a stark and thorough enough job of debunking it, it will go far in quelling some of the rabidity driving the calls for riots and murders of random whites upon acquittal.
You’ve got that right! They keep saying it over and over. I heard Geraldo say it was abominable that Zimmerman followed Trayvon but he will be acquitted because that is the law. B.S. (legal analyst on WFTV just said “It isn’t over yet. If the jury believes any part of what the star witness said such as Trayvon saying ‘Get off me’ then it could be enough to convict because it makes GZ the aggressor. Like it or not.” He is hoping so badly that there is a conviction. Logic would tell me the aggressor would get in the most damage to the other person. OK. Game over! GZ told Hannity he used his gun because he thought he may pass out and TM went for his gun. That is backed up by GZ telling the responding officer he was feeling light headed.
