Zimmerman said he lost sight of Martin, got out of his car to call police and was walking back to his vehicle when the 17-year-old attacked him.

It will depend on what the jurors decide. I hope a couple of people convinced that Zimmerman is guilty didn’t manage to elude O’Mara’s vigilance, and try to wear down the others into a “compromise” of a manslaughter verdict.

I hope you are right, but I am convinced he will be found guilty, if not on the original charges, they will come in with Manslaughter.

That is 30 years plus another 30 years because of the firearm.

If he goes to prison, he will not come out alive.

I don’t understand why so many people are rallying to stick up for one person or another in this case. There are only two people that REALLY knows what happened that night and one is dead.

We really don’t know who started the confrontation. Zimmerman has already been caught in a couple lies so how can anyone believe anything he says? The so called witnesses in the case have been caught in a few lies and changes stories more than once.

Zimmerman is an idiot and wannabe cop, while Martin was an idiot and wannabe thug and when you put two idiots together, bad things tend to happen.

I think the prosecution over reached with second degree murder charges and probably could have gotten a conviction with manslaughter but with the flimsy evidence and less then reliable testimony from all parties involved, I don’t see how this guy could possibly get convicted.

Regardless, EVERYONE needs to calm down and stop with the talks of violence in regards to a situation that only one living person really knows the truth about.

“Angela Corey and Bernie “The Roach” should be disbarred over bringing this case in front of a jury”

They are sacrificial Lambs to Washington DC, they were damned if they did, damned if they didn't. Where Corey really went over the top was calling that mess known as Trayvon Martin “A precious child” or whatever the quote was. He was a thug in training end of story.

Anyone else [almost] welcome the “race riots”?

Bring it. I'm sick of the racist terrorism from the "Black Community" and its foul and repugnant "Leaders".

If Zimmerman had said “Allah Akbar” after wards the media would have hailed him as a hero..the media needed something to take away the focus from Obama’s agenda..they want something so that blacks riot when they don’t get what they want, they are begging for it

One of the threads on FR has a link to the entire video of the walk thru w/ Police and GZ. It shows where he parked and walked. The only thing I haven’t found is where the girlfriends house is that TM had already been to before he doubled back to AMBUSH GZ.

I think the video was posted by Uncle Chip.

The jury cannot reduce the charges, they can either convict or acquit on the charges made and brought before the court.

IF Z was assaulted as he says, then you are right, and WHERE it happened is irrelevant, and I do believe, fervently, that he was assaulted as he says. BUT, if he was near his vehicle, that gives TREMENDOUS SUPPORT to his story, and helps him tremendously. Remember, neither you nor I are on the jury, unfortunately.

Seriously, America is being held hostage by a terroristic threat.

call the bluff. I'm tired of being blackmailed.

I will do my best to stay safe, always. If anyone is unprincipled enough to fear riots for a just verdict, they'll have neither safety nor freedom....ever.

I have continually heard that if Zimmerman is found innocent, blacks will riot all over the place.

I would invite you all to look at a warning to blacks from Dr. James Manning, a black pastor who heads ATLAH ministries. Manning warns of MASSIVE white backlash at http://www.patriotscorner.com/forums/general-patriot/black-pastor-to-blacks-warning-stop-pushing-white-folk-t9841.html

The plain truth is that the tank of white guilt is offically dry, and the white majority are not only sick and tired of this 'African'American' bullsh!t that costs us BILLIONS in repairing damage,lost lives, etc., we are armed to the teeth and will protect our property and loved ones at the local level.

If his name had been Jose Rodriguez instead of George Zimmerman then there would have been no indictment in the first place.

At first they thought he was Jewish.

They looked at the name and conjured up an image such as this.

If his name had been Jose Rodriguez this is what they'd have imagined him to look like.

Liberals are such racists.

Because all the physical evidence supports Zimmerman, and the one eyewitness. #duh

He's only a dumb jock football player, so I think he can be forgiven underestimating the scope of the problem.

The feds (Holder and Obama) will surely come after him for violating Martin’s rights, the same way they came after the Rodney King officers.
