    Cartoons have a great way of taking an event & make a point of it. I'm all for having guns but keep them at home or at the range. No need to bring them out in public.

    If Casey Anthony is any indication, the crazy media focus on the case could actually favor Zimmerman in his trial.

    I predict a not guilty verdict in this modern day lynching.

    Yeah, I think they're gonna be hard-pressed to find a jury that hasn't already made up its mind as to his supposed innocence or guilt...well, as unbiased as any jury could be.

    Casey Anthony... OJ Simpson... media coverage is NO indicator of the result of a trial as far as I can tell.

    Lynching involves someone being killed. Only one person has been killed in this case.

    +1 Let's remember who the people we should feel really bad for are, i.e. the dead kid and his mother.

    It's AN indicator (social media plays a part too - the older Zimmerman couple, anyone?) ...but, I was talking about general bias.

    I don't think it will be fair as there does seem to be a lot of racial issues which often confuse dumb jury members. He's just another crazy person with a gun; nothing will change.

    THIS case will be an uphill battle for the proscution to prove for sure.

    His brother is on Piers Morgan right now. Not helping his case, imo.

    And his name is Robert Zimmerman. Just like Bob Dylan.

  • alright, so trayvon's family and zimmerman are going to get their day in court.

    that is all i was asking for, that the legal process begin and then run it's course.

    How do you select a jury for this case? You literally have to grab people that are coming out of comas.

    It's Florida. With the elderly population down there they can easily find 12 people who have forgotten every reported detail in this case by the time they pick a jury in 6-12 months and if they let Matt Bush drive around a little more they'll easily have 12 people in comas to choose, too. ;)

    Trayvon's mother said it was probably an accident.

    I thought the state attorney did a good job at the press conference last night.

    So, if he's found innocent you'll be happy then?

    You get the people that are too busy being pissed off about Guillen's Castro comments to even think about this case!

    2nd degree murder? Wow, I figured manslaughter, not this. Maybe they shoot for 2nd deg murder, figuring they settle on manslaughter?
    They must have something interesting to show.
    I guess we might finally see the pictures of all of Zimmerman's injuries too.

    i won't be happy, but all i want is the judicial process to be carried out. trayvon's family and zimmerman deserve to have that. if he is found guilty, grand, if not, they both got their day in court.

    i just do not want this crime to be swept under the rug, as has happened so many times before.

    the outcome is not going to please everyone that's for sure and I hope
    we don't lose more rights because of Zimmerman

    after the strip search law I'm really beginning to wonder :wtf:

    Good post Gimme.. I agree. From the little we know, I imagine it would be very difficult to convict him. But maybe there's more to the story. Either way, I think it sends a good message that this controversial statute, Stand Your Ground, is under the microscope. Otherwise, the wild west mentality in Florida will just get worse.

    It'll be interesting to see if there's any information that comes out during the course of the trial that we don't already know that led to the 2nd-degree murder charge-- maybe other eyewitnesses, forensic evidence, etc. that made the prosecutor think that charge is warranted.

    It's either make him do hard time or potential wide-spread rioting. What do you think Al Sharpton's response would have been if only manslaughter charges were filed? That would not have appeased him or the community he represents.

    Zimmerman is going down. The media's rush to get the jump on information without fact-checking and good research sealed his fate weeks ago. The people want blood now.

    So be it if it preserves order.
