Jesus Christ, how many times must I repeat myself. Mr. Zimmerman has been officially charged with murder in the 2nd degree by the STATE. We DO NOT know what discoveries were made by the STATE that led to this conviction so trialing based on public knowledge is useless.
I don't believe my comment was directed to you. trendlover was 'trialing' Zimmerman based upon public knowledge and I asked him several questions based upon <b>his</b> trial.
As for you... Please read up on the Duke lacrosse hype/arrests/trial to learn how fanning the flames of racism can ruin innocent lives, and make fools out of the supporters of the 'victim'.
I don't have the evidence to know whether the Zimmerman dude is innocent or guilty. Certainly, his guilt is possible. However, I think a reasonable person at this point, would conclude that it's 90+% likely that Zimmerman's story is accurate and that he did nothing wrong. Seems likely to me that Zimmerman was courageous by what he did (looking out for the safety of his community), was attacked by a punk, and defended himself. If true (which is likely) he deserves our praise. We need more Zimmermans in this world, IMO.
(another fact that's been glossed over by the media is that Treyvon was NOT an innocent little 13 year old kid with a lollipop who never got into any trouble. He was a 6 foot 3 inch, 17 year old punk who was already "serving time" for "crimes committed" at school.)
