As long as a full investigation is held, hopefully justice will be served. I imagine the prosecuter has enough to go on to bring charges.

Florida only requires indictment by grand jury if the defendant is to be charged with a crime punishable by death. Probably, Zimmerman is going to be charged with a lesser type of murder, such as “manslaughter,” that’s not subject to the death penalty.

Zimmerman: Dad worked as magistrate
Honestly, I don't see what difference it makes. It doesn't negate the fact that his father could have friends in high (judicial) places.

Why would someone shoot another person if they didn't fear for their life?
hmmmm, possibly drunk, possibly racist more than likely both

It would not be outlandish to assume that the elder Mr. Zimmerman has connections that might or might not have been used to influence decisions on prior charges against his son on three occasions.

What in da hell did you get that from? I guess all blacks go to neighborhood to neighborhood "casing" them. The young man had a promising future why would he ruining it doing that. You should wipe your fingers off from all of that [MOD CUT] that you are posting

All, completely true and plausible.

Got video to prove that he was attacked?

You keep saying you're waiting for all the facts to 'come out', but it is clear you side with the killer.

Why couldn't Trayvon be in fear of his life? Why is it that you can stand your ground by shooting someone to death, but can't stand your ground with your hands. If Trayvon did hit Zimmerman, why couldn't he have been standing his ground?

I can't believe someone asked why someone would shoot someone if their life wasn't in danger. It is like saying why would someone take something that didn't belong to them or why would someone say something that wasn't the truth or why would someone take drugs if they didn't need them....smh

I know some African people and they are really nice folks. That's the only thing preventing me from saying what I really want to say to you.
I admire your restraint.

When I read that post, I wanted to burn up the keyboard, but it's a company keyboard...and my post would just get deleted.
