Prejudiced? It's funny that no one traditionally on the left of things called me prejudiced when I first denounced Zimmerman for killing Martin. That was in the beginning when the media was lying and altering the 911 calls. Then the truth started slowly coming out. And there are a lot of false DV claims that are used in divorce and custody battles. As a person in the legal field you should know that. Are the very serious and real DV claims? Of course, that's why I said "unfortunately" people abuse the system, but it happens all the time. And men file real and false DV claims too, especially in same-sex relationships.
yes a kid, unarmed with only a bag of skittles and an ice tea was shot dead through the heart.
And a. Man claiming to have been assaulted with the injuries to prove it. And eyewitnesses that saw the kid on top. Had there not been a shooting, the kid would have been arrested since GZ was the only one with marks on him.
The judge who's been demoted to divorce court and has been overturned at least twice in the last month? In one of the decisions, the appeals court chastised her for not even understanding plain language statues. And had to remind her that the jury, not the judge, are the ones who weigh the evidence. Yeah, she's quite the legal eagle.
Charges that at this point seem unsubstantiated by the evidence that has come forward.. Ask yourself honestly. Would you have brought this case to court with the evidence that has to this point been presented?
I'm no lawyer, but would I try someone who shot and killed another person after he had called the police on this person? At a minimum, I'd do a thorough investigation, which was not done initially. Even when a police officer shoots and kills someone, an investigation is done.
Why would you not put the testimony and accounts of what transpired by Zimmerman, who has lied many times, to the ultimate test? Are you kidding?
Because if you try someone before you have enough evidence to convict they walk away free. It is better to wait until you have sufficient evidence or do not go to trial.

What is the problem you are having with the only living real eyewitness (GZ) who has every reason to lie and embellish, being given the litmus test? Both sides are given the equal oppoertunity to present their case and ultimately a jury will decide. Do you share the ridiculous notion that this case was just cut and dry and not worthy of a trial as other posters have bemoaned?
To this point in the trial, the evidence available does not support your theory of what happened. Your theory is just that. According to the evidence that has been presented, Martin did in fact physically attack Zimmerman. I would like to know in which post that I have made that I have ever referred to Martin as a "young thug". Please point it out to me..
The only evidence we have at this point that Martin attacked Zimmerman is Zimmerman's own word, his statements. That's it. Just his statements. And the State during their case (which is all we have right now) has been very busily presenting evidence that impeaches Zimmerman, which could very easily convince that jury beyond a reasonable doubt that Zimmerman's word cannot be taken at face value.
It certainly can be argued that Zimmerman's statements are self-serving and he has every good reason in the world to lie about what happened. However, the State is steadily and methodically pointing out the many places where Zimmerman has lied in statements and interviews over and over again. In your everyday life, if someone lied repeatedly to you about things, even little things, how long would you trust that person and take their word at face value?
It's really hard to take someone seriously when they insist on calling the can of Arizona ice tea that a black kid was carrying around a "watermelon drink." Yes, the company makes a watermelon flavored ice tea but I doubt if this case involved the shooting of a white boy you'd continue to try to interject that flavor choice into the conversation. You're just trying to push hot buttons by doing so.

After the investigation what would you have done if you were Corey?
We have a system that is set up so 10, or more, guilty people walk before one person is wrongfully imprisoned. This is a liberal system.

So you are discounting John Good's testimony? He has no reason to lie and he saw Martin on top of Zimmerman.
