I pray for a fair and just verdict. My support and thoughts go out to the Zimmerman family and the defense team as we wait.

5-1 to acquit and the black one wants to convict?
Figures this country Is heading for a civil war real soon.
Was that admitted into evidence? Significant, if so...
I have sisters, no brothers, and have spent the vast, vast majority of my life defending women against sexism and the ‘double standard’ (e.g. guys can do it, but girls/women aren't allowed to). That said, I am sorry, but the above comment rings true. It doesn't matter if its genesis is from virtuous intentions and the desire to be empathic, understanding, and selfless. It is destructive in its inability to apply reason and truth.
George Zimmerman could have easily given a different story. He could have said he had a gun but had absolutely no intention of ever touching it in the confrontation with Martin. That it was only after Martin found the gun on Zimmerman, while beating him, and told Zimmerman that he was going to kill him, that George decided he had to fight for control of the gun - or die. That in the struggle the gun came free of Martin's grip and went off. That he never intended to kill Martin, and that it was an accident that occurred in the context of this violent struggle.
In short, he could have created a narrative that would have made it much harder to convict him. But he chose to tell the truth as he recalled it. For this, he runs the risk of being punished by a society that accepts racism, as long as its from those from whom racism is politically correct.
This is not the way for all of us to live together in mutual respect. This is not the way to end racism. This is perpetuation of injustice.
How the heck would he have that info??? The jury is not allowed to talk to anyone about the case that could cause an easy mistrial..oh and if true I always had a bad feeling about that woman from Chicago, she loves reality shows, that is all she does all day, watch reality TV
How could he have inside info?
Why is that monument designed in the shape of a chaise lounge. It looks like a good place to bring a pillow and take a nap.
Please God let it be true that there is only one person trying to convict.
At least we get a hung jury and George can stay out of jail instead of the other way around with George about headed to the slammer.
Ping to 2042 for final jury instructions.
I did not see any responses to your statement.
Will there be a verdict on the weekend, or will we have to wait until at least Monday?
An individual in Florida who legally carries a concealed weapon can legally use his weapon to stop a felony in process.
If “Zimmerman’s neighbor” has some sort of secret info regarding jury deliberations, it will be only thru illegal means. That would not help GZ.
I call BS. Everybody’s trying to out-panic everybody else. Disgusting.
B-29.
BREAKING NEWS:
‘Fly on the wall’ reports one juror is holding out for a conviction, jury asks for MS clarification to prove self-defense rules… Not Guilty
He can’t...
Pure bovine excrement.
I would imagine that it is impossible that anyone outside the jury would know what’s going on.
Let's eat grandpa!
Let's eat, Grandpa!
Let’s hope he is right —
and he would had his gun out when he left his truck, ready to “hunt” tm down.
