It's true

Eh Id like if all states allowed such leeway. Id rather have someone who is guilty of a crime be imprisoned as opposed to him/her getting off on a technicality. Think of someone standing trial for a murder 1 charge and despite the fact that overwhelming physical evidence exists, the prosecution wasnt able to prove that premeditation occurred.

Applies especially to this case, and much of the defense's argument drives the point home. It was awesome when they brought the guy who owns Zimmermans gym up to the witness stand to testify about how much of a pussy Zimmerman is. A wannabe cop with a history of violence shot an unarmed man on the doorstop of his home because he unwisely started a confrontation and quickly found himself in over his head. The precedent of a not guilty verdict is scary to contemplate.

Yeah but it's the prosecution's job to file multiple charges up front. In FL they have to give notice of all charges before the trial begins. Stacking the cards in favor of the prosecution is hardly a fair trial.

1) There's no way to prove that.

It's already out there. It's been talked about for over a year

2) Listen to the call. Martin ended up running away from Zimmerman before he followed 2 minutes later, which made him that much more suspicious. What dispatch told him doesn't mean shit to prove anything.

Which also makes him the aggressor. If Martin was trying to get away , then there's no way Zimmerman can claim self defense if he's pursuing

3) Defense wounds or hand scrapes injuries isn't necessarily going to be present when you get in a fist fight. Slamming someone's head repeatedly doesn't require you to get injured in return. That doesn't destroy anything. In fact the dozen swollen and/or bloody lumps on Zimmerman's head shows Martin was being extremely aggressive and vicious while Zimmerman apparently did absolutely nothing to Martin until he pulled the trigger. This definitely supports the self defense claim with an extremely strong string of evidence.

It was presented by the medical examiner. What it also does is destroy Zimmerman's account of the story. Zimmerman elected not to testify which makes him look even less credible. Infact it makes him look like a lair and someone with something to hide

Lol, there were scrapes on both of martins hands retard.

Btw, doesn't mean shit. I have knocked the fuck out of someone before and my hand just turned red. Weak argument even if your facts were correct.

Zimmerman did nothing illegal. He did something stupid, but nothing illegal.

1. That's got to be the most credible source I've ever seen.

2. If he's trying to keep an eye on a suspicious person in his neighborhood he's hardly the aggressor. The person that threw the first punch is, and we'll never have a way of knowing that. Who cares anyway?

3. It's pretty normal for defendants not to take the stand.

4. Christ, you love to play the race card.

 

[bigbassturd]

Lol @ zimmerman 'electing not to testify'

he took advice from the fucking legal council you got dam idiot. They feel it was unnecessary for him to take the stand (which is true)

They didn't need it.

I didn't make it about race. Zimmerman did that all by himself with his pursuing of African Americans in the Twin Lakes community

In FL the judge can allow a lesser charge if he/she believes there is enough evidence to support such a charge be reasonably considered.

inb4 liberal activist judges, despite the fact that this kind of stuff happens all the time.

And you're doing it again.

Now I'll point out where CBS is doing it as well if that's the case

George Zimmerman Trial: Man who shot Trayvon Martin was concerned about burglaries, police volunteer coordinator says - Crimesider - CBS News

Face it , Zimmerman was profiling African Americans

 

[wootoom]

It's always about race, no matter what you say
