I think he may be found not guilty, even though he very likely has a large share of guilt in the whole thing.

As far as racial epithets ... The word doesn't matter as much as the hate behind it. Regardless of the target's race

Don't tell fail that, though...

Any questions?

[Dr. Love]

Not that I don't think racism is a problem (in my state I think blacks and hispanics hate each other more than whites vs anyone, at least in the urban areas), but I hardly think a few charts is definitive proof of anything. Correlation does not imply causation.

It is no coincidence that Somalia has both the highest number of pirates and the lowest amount of carbon emissions.

Case is now in the jury's hands....

My opinion stays the same - I think based on the evidence (or lack thereof), I think he should be acquitted, but I won't be shocked if he gets manslaughter.....

I can NOT see the jury finding him guilty of anything after the judge's instructions. Acquitted...

There isn't anything complicated about this case. Zimmerman was attacked.....was being killed....and defended himself. Just like he should have done.

There is definitely racism in this case. Scumbags at the mayor's office and the State Attorney General, railroading a victim of crime and labelling him a criminal. Zimmerman is the victim of the crime.

The police didn't want to charge him, because he isn't guilty of a fucking thing.

He's the victim of a beating by a punk, and he's a victim of the corrupt "criminal justice system", and the even more corrupt political system.

Don't bring Skittles to a gun fight.

He should at least get manslaughter.

Geezus.. the stupidity is contagious around here today....


Here's the question, dimwits...

If you supposedly have some "****** thug" sitting on top of you, pinning you down, bashing your head into the cement with two hands, while somehow finding a third arm to punch you in the face with, and while he's on top of you pinning you down, you manage to get an arm free to reach into the back of your goddamned pants, where your gun is holstered, pull out that gun and shoot him point blank in the fucking chest while he's on top of you.....

Then where's the blood?

Never mind the impossibility of the rest of the goddamn lie of a story, where the fuck was Trayvon Martin's blood, if there were an ounce of truth to Zimmerklansman's story?

It doesn't work. It is 666% impossible for the events to have happened the way Zimmerklansman claims.

The prosecution's own "evidence" proves Zimmerman is innocent.

The defense annihilated these corrupt prosecutors. There is NO EVIDENCE Zimmerman is guilty of anything. To the contrary. He was 100 percent justified.

You have to be either an idiot or a racist to think Zimmerman is guilty. He defended himself, just like the law allows, and basic human rights allows.

That fucking punk attacked Zimmerman and made a big mistake.

Stand your ground, and don't bring Skittles to a gun fight.

[Satan]

Oh, no doubt the prosecutors are corrupt.

Why?

Because it's fucking FLORIDA.

And the Zimmerklansman racist family has deep connections with the Repuke party. Would not surprise me at all if the prosecution played to lose here.

That does not change the reality of what I said in my previous post at all. If you shoot somebody point blank in the chest while they are on top of you, there's going to be blood.

A HELL of a lot of blood.

But there wasn't.

So either Trayvon Martin was a robot, and had no blood, or Zimmerklansman is a fucking liar.

Just so you know who's on the jury...

Six women to decide Zimmerman's fate

By James Novogrod and Tom Winter, NBC News

George Zimmerman's fate is in the hands of the jury, six women who must decide whether the former neighborhood watchman committed a crime in fatally shooting 17-year-old Trayvon Martin or that he acted in self-defense.

After 24 days of jury draw, opening statements, witness testimony and closing arguments, the case went to the jury Friday afternoon in Sanford, Fla.

The jurors have three options: They can find Zimmerman guilty of second-degree murder, they can find him guilty of manslaughter or they can declare him not guilty.

Zimmerman, 29, has pleaded not guilty. He said he was attacked by the teen and acted in self-defense.

Here is what we know about the six women who began deliberations Friday:

Juror B-29: Originally from Chicago, she's been married for 10 years. The woman — who is either black or Hispanic and is the only juror who isn't white, according to prosecutors — has eight kids, one of them older than 18. This is her first time serving on a jury. The woman has been at her current job for three months, and when asked by prosecutor Bernie De La Rionda during jury selection if she belonged to any organization, she said "my house is my organization," eliciting laughter and understanding from the courtroom.

Juror B-76: A resident of the Sanford, Fla., area since 1975, she has two adult children. During voir dire she said her 28-year-old son is an attorney who practices in the county, but his specialty is foreclosures, divorces and contract law and he does not practice criminal law. Her daughter is a certified nursing assistant. This juror is unemployed after running a construction company for 15 years with her husband. She and her husband manage rental properties and are helping their kids build homes. Her passion is rescuing animals, and this is her first time on a jury.

Juror B-37: A local for 18 years, and the daughter of an Air Force captain, she has been working for the same company for 16 years. Her husband is a "space attorney," meaning he has worked with the shuttle companies and is now working with rocket companies. One of her kids, a 24-year-old, is a pet groomer and the other is a 27-year-old student at the University of Central Florida. She likes animals and rescued them until her husband told her, "Stop!" She has been called to serve on a jury four times, but said she was never seated because of "where I work."

Juror B-51: She's served on juries before, once as an alternate in the early 1990s, and again three years ago in Seminole County. She is unmarried and does not have kids. Now retired, she previously worked as a real estate agent. She was also the director of a call center with 1,200 employees under her. Asked by the prosecutor how she handled disputes in the workplace, she said, "You have to listen to all sides, and sometimes you just have to make the tough calls." A transplant from Atlanta, she has lived locally for nine years.

Juror E-6: A native Floridian, she has lived locally for two years. She has been married for six years and has two children, ages 11 and 13, and said she was proud to be raising them. She said said she was proud to be a member of a church. She is unemployed after being in school for nine months and working in financial services. Her husband is an engineer. She acknowledged that she was arrested in 1999 and told the court she was treated fairly, saying, "I deserved it." She has never served on a jury.

Juror E-40: She moved to the area from Iowa eight months ago. She is married to a chemical engineer and has one son, who lives in Western Pennsylvania. She told the court that in her spare time she likes to watch football, read and travel. She has worked as a safety officer, and served as a juror 20 years ago on a drug case in Pennsylvania. No verdict was reached in that case.
