I see this situation as Martin the one who felt threatened and any violence Martin may have directed toward Zimmerman was in self defense. In other words, Martin was murdered while standing his ground.

I know that you aren't seeking a sincere answer, so I won't bother with this non-question.

I am guessing that when it is all over, Zimmerman will end up pleading guilty to a lesser charge like manslaughter. He will serve a year or two in prison and never be allowed to own a gun again. I doubt very seriously that this case ever makes it to trial.

That has already started.

That's exactly what they are saying. First they said he wouldn't be charged, now they're saying that he won't be convicted, I guess next comes "he won't get anything more than probation." Just shaking my head at these people. According to Angela corey, she does not prosecute because of the media and did not make this decision lightly. I suppose interviewing witnesses and evidence was all for show. People think they know everything when in fact, we know nothing about the forensic evidence, autopsy, GZ's medical records, ballastic report etc. The Zimmerman supporters are still thinking they can determine the outcome of this case based on his testimony alone.

Nothing will stop it. Why must it continue.

Yes and when he is convicted or pleads guilty, they will say that it was a travesty of justice and that he didn't get a fair trial.

I honestly don't think Zimmerman will take a plea deal. I think he's confident in his SYG/self-defense stance.

I also hope he isn't offered a plea deal.

If GZ turns out to be a liar (and I think he will) and a cold blooded murder, they will still defend him.
