Guys just heard there is established case law that in Florida that if you are acquitted on Murder 2 but jury is hung on manslaughter you have to acquit. It's an all or nothing deal. Trying to verify. Get you a link when I can.

Case law will tough to find without

WESTLAW or Thompson Reuters
 
SO? you can throw somebody 3-5 feet away from yourself and then somebody can crawl the remaining 5 feet. 10 feet is not a long distance - T height was more than half of that distance :rolleyes:

Again, direct evidence. It has to be taken on face value like I explained yesterday of how a shot through the heart would surely silence anyone and drop them on the spot. You can conjecture all day long, but direct evidence is what murder trials are all about.

And if you'd been paying attention to the direct evidence in this case, you'd know that the defense's expert witness on pathology testified that a shot to the heart might very well NOT drop someone on the spot. That there were instances where a person was shot through the heart and ran a short distance before collapsing.

And Trayvon might have turned into a zombie also. A shot directly into the heart is going to drop someone on the spot 9 out of 10 times.
 
You got to give it up for George! at least he isn't wearing those wussy sweaters those brothers wore back in the infamous 80's trial when they were taken into court for killing their parents to inherit the millions,,,and yet, just like this case, they had to bring up "The Child Abuse" excuse.
 
Are we at a point where nutters here won't even concede that Zimmerman acted foolishly? That he should have done things differently?

Are you so ideologically dug in that you do not assign any blame at all for this killing to the guy?

If so......how fucking stupid.

That's kind of exactly what I said earlier today and bears repeating.

Indeed it does bear repeating. Zimmerman's behavior created the entire scenario that resulted in the death of Trayvon Martin. Trayvon was an ordinary citizen, an innocent, unarmed person minding his own business who should have been able to walk to the market and home unmolested and unharmed. Instead he ended up dead due to the behavior of Zimmerman. There is no doubt whatsoever about that. Had Zimmerman left Martin alone, Trayvon would be alive. If Zimmerman so believed Trayvon was a suspect, all he had to do was report it to the police and allow them to handle it. Instead, he inserted himself into the situation, carrying a loaded weapon, and fool that he is, he killed an innocent, unarmed person. Those who are pro-gun wil never concede that Zimmerman did the wrong thing. It will be on each of their own individual consciences that they support a man who murdered an innocent person because they so believe in their 2nd Amendent right, they don't care about innocent people dying.
 
GZ failed tactically.

No upside from leaving the truck.

He was still within his lawful right.

But stupid.

Nothing wrong with getting out of the truck, walking around or calling the police. ;)

Getting out of the truck had little tactical upside ...... all kinds of downside.

Just like leaving your house to go after someone in your yard or breaking into your car has very slim upside
