The Official Zimmerman Trial Verdict Thread

[legaleagle_45]

Trayvon could have been standing up and slumped over slightly. This guy is getting too iffy. He just isn't so sure anymore suddenly.

If that was the case, the trajectory of the bullet would not have lined up and gone straight through from front to back.

Yes it's definitely guns. To me this is an example how things can go really wrong if your carrying a gun. Clearly Martin wasn't doing anything wrong until he was confronted. After that I guess we don't know what happened. If they were fighting after Zimmerman confronted him it seems really wrong that Martin ends up dead. Seems like he was minding his own business and Zimmerman brought about the confrontation. If Martin did attack him I don't think he was going to kill him, should have just been a fight. But instead it's a death thanks to the gun. All that said Zimmerman probably had good intentions that went really bad. Again probably thanks to the gun. So yes the politics is because of the gun.

Sarah, do you really think Zimmerman won't be acquitted?

I think they have to give him some time simply because he killed the kid and there is some reasonable doubt. How much? Depends on how the jury is taking all the testimony.

You're assuming Zimmerman initiated the confrontation. The Evidence doesn't support that.

LOL

Sarie just acknowledged reasonable doubt.

She just doesn't grasp that this means GZ should be acquitted.

 

[TemplarKormac]

It's ridiculous enough we have an entire party driven on convicting someone based off of a political agenda.

 

[Missourian]

Bernie is pretty much beating this guy up. Omg, 15 seconds is a very long time to be without your heart.

Still confident the case is over?

I just read up on this...what the doctor is saying is absolutely true.

One can even remain conscious for several seconds after being decapitated...

HowStuffWorks "Do you really stay conscious after being decapitated?"

 

[PredFan]

By jove, I think you've got it!

This didn't start with race. This started with the media's idea that this case could be used to get stand your ground laws struck down and institute strict gun control.

I think race had a lot to do with it until everyone realized that GZ was hispanic.

Now it's totally about guns and partially about race.

If there is reasonable doubt, GZ walks or at least he should based upon the law. A jury may in fact ignore the law and deliver a verdict that is contradicted by the evidence... That is the purpose of the motion of acquittal. Now MO'M can renew that motion if the jury screws things up.

Why is the Zimmerman case devided so sharply along partisan lines? With only a very few exceptions the lefties here believe GZ is guilty and the conservatives wait until the trial is over. I couldn't understand why, since GZ isn't white, the lefties were so ready to string him up.

Moments ago, it hit me.

It's only partially about race. True, if TM was white or hispanic, no one would care, but race isn't the real reason they want GZ to fry. It's guns.

GZ defended himself with a gun and a black man is dead. They cannot stand the thought that GZ might have legally used a gun to defend himself. It's about guns, and self-defense and even Stand-Your-Ground.

If GZ is convicted, they can use this case to revive their efforts to take away our rights and that is THE issue.

The left never ever cares about right and wrong, they only care about winning.

huh....that might be true for some people but for me it is about being the mother of teenagers in Florida and wanting them not to worry about some asswipe killing them simply because said asswipe thinks they are a danger. It is also about how wrong vigilante justice is.

De La Rionda is trying to confuse the witness...

Clearly Martin wasn't doing anything wrong until he decided to assault Zimmerman for no reason.

Exactly. Essentially, she seems to be hoping that the jury gets it wrong.

Like I said. It's typical of the left. they don't care at all about right and wrong, they only care about winning.

She's sharp as a bowling ball.

(I really only quoted you to annoy her now )

How long does it typically take an appeals court to overturn a conviction ?

That pretty much sums up your thinking.

Long enough for a declared racist to die in gen pop
