That is true. It does seem like the case should go to court and Zimmerman should have to prove his guilt or innocence.

I would think if anything, it might have an adverse effect on Romney.

Those who were against this law aren't going to sit home in November, nor are they likely to vote R.

He is un custody and rumor has it that it will be secon degree murder.

I, and I suspect no one else here, really knows what happened. We need to wait for the police and Prosecuting attorney to put together a case based on the available evidence, and then we need to wait for another Right to be invoked - trial by Jury of his peers.

Until that all happens, everyone needs to shut up, sit back and let the scales of justice work as they're supposed too.
Good point. You're right.

That would just reinforce the belief of some that we live in an unjust country.

Zimmerman is being brought up on 2nd degree murder charges. How exactly is a brutal right wing murderer going to cost Obama the election?

Zimmerman is a registered Democrat. But don't like the facts get in the way of your rant.

If Zimmerman is acquited are you going to riot like you did when O.J. was arrested for slaughtering Nicole?
