Especially what a jury(even a grand jury) might do.

Remember Casey Anthony?

I wouldn't be surprised at all if this guy walks.

Either way, Zimmerman will be a martyr to racists.

Kinda like people repeating over and over again that an almost 18yr old kid is a "child". Goes both ways Sport.

Too bad they didn't know that a self-appointed and armed watchdog who had a gun despite a prior assault on a PO was going to chase and confront the young man, then shoot and kill him.
Actually, they're reading the police report. They're just deliberately spreading lies for the hell of it.

More importantly, how long is it going to take before we get Feb 26th off of work every year?

For quite awhile the whole thing seemed obvious: Zimmerman followed Trayvon Martin and, essentially, executed him.

But now there's supposedly a witness that saw Martin attack Zimmerman, and that it was Zimmerman who was screaming for help?

Unfortunately, no matter what the truth actually is, this has turned into an international racial catastrophe.

I can't take off the ruby slippers though because my three year old has just started watching the Wizzard of Oz on the Cartoon Network right now.
Everything I have read gave the correct time.

Hey, at least someone has come up with a more recent photo of this poor, defenseless baby Trayvon (who witnesses saw on top of Zimmerman beating him, a man who eventually shot him in self defense.)

Anyone want to still claim that he couldn't hurt a fly?

He called the police because he saw someone he felt was "suspicous" in a neighborhood that as I understand it had several recent breakins.

What none of those "attacking" Zimmerman have cared to explain is how he was injured if he was armed and "hunting down" Martin. If he were out to kill him as many suggest, he wouldn't have allowed Martin to get close enough to assault him. He would have shot from at least a few feet away. Which of course goes against witness testmony that places Martin on top of Zimmerman, who was supposedly calling for help.

The reporting I have read on this case has been terrible. We (or at least I) have no idea if either was on public vs private property. How long did Zimmerman follow Martin? Was he following at some distance so he could report to the police where Martin was? Or did he try to physically restrain Martin? Is there evidence that Martin jumped or ambushed Zimmerman? In which case he had every reason to fear for his life. Exactly what were the witness accounts? An autopsy was done on Martin, exactly what did it show? Were there marks on his hands, etc, that might indicate he was in a fight?

Common sense would say that if you go after someone with the intent of killing them with a handgun, that you don't get into a fistfight with them first.

I'll wait till the police report and coroners report are released before making judgement.

On a different note, will our president have the integrity to call out the Black Panthers for placing a bounty on a man's life?

Why do you keep asking these same questions over and over again when they have been answered?

How many times do you need to be told it wasn't 2am?
