it is a race, mestizos. but I digress. we should be focusing on the immigration bill. the media is controlling us and getting us to focus on things like this trial . i guess I fell for it too.

They’re probably also looking into bogus civil rights charges like they did to the cops who apprehended Rodney King.

Hispanic isn’t a race, but an ethnicity.

So what are people from Mexico?

What's the latest PC term they've come up with?

And why do government forms ask if one is white, Hispanic, etc?

Most Mexicans are Mestizo. Some are Caucasian, some are Negro.

Many Hispanics self identify as Caucasian. It isn’t their fault that the government differentiates.

Most people from Mexico are descendants of Mayan , Astec and other indian tribes. but he tells me they are not a race. ok . now lets focus on the immigration bill. the media wants us to focus on this trial. and I am falling for it too.

anyhow, the democrats created the 1965 immigration act to get immigration to come mainly from non-white latin America. it was all a diabolical plan to set the races against each other , racial marxism. they have the blacks on the democrat plantation and they have convinced hispanics , other non-whites and immigrants they must vote for democrats and not republicans as the media says republicans are racists, white males who hate women and minorities and are for only the rich and white. the democrats have non-whites voting for democrats/socialism

Same scenario as Jimmy Stewart in Anatomy of a Murder. Jimmy asks an inappropriate question of a witness. Prosecution objects and Judge sustains and tells the jury to disregard. Then the client asks Jimmy, how can the jury disregard what they’ve already heard. Jimmy says, “They can’t.”

"What the jury does NOT know and will not find out is if they convict Zimmerman of manslaughter he serves life in prison..because there was a gun used and the “Victim” was under the age of 18 its automatic 30 year sentence"

MoM indicated assault could result in equal or more time than Murder2.

That fact must be conveyed somehow to avoid them trying to split the baby with a compromise verdict.

"...Judge Alex.....

He is probably the best source on the case.

He and Dershowitz shared a panel the other day. The Judge thinks GZ will probably get convicted on a lesser. Alan thinks so too, but he's betting it'll be turned over on appeal. The Judge thinks it'll stand.

depends what he gets convicted of, if its manslaughter its the same as 2nd degree murder, he gets 30 yrs..if its aggravated assault, I have no idea what the penalty is, just have to hope for a not guilty verdict

“And is shamelessly salivating over what Obama might award her with...a federal appeals court seat? SCOTUS?”

All through this trial I have been wondering what hers and Corey’s goal is....a federal government appointment.

Is this even legal? Don’t they have to decide the crime ahead of the trial? They charged him with second degree murder and it’s up to the jury to decide if he’s guilty as charged.

Now the “judge” wants change the charges to manslaughter since the State failed to make their case against second degree murder.

Maybe I died and woke up in the Soviet Union.
