Some victims of violence can't get up. They are dead. Shot thru the heart by a thug with a pistol.

Uh, oh!
And George Zimmerman himself said it didn't sound like him. To quote: "That doesn't even sound like me."

I guess it was the third guy on the grassy knoll.

2. (formerly, in most European countries) a section of a city in which all Jews were required to live.

3. a section predominantly inhabited by Jews.

4. any mode of living, working, etc., that results from stereotyping or biased treatment: job ghettos for women; ghettos for the elderly.

adjective 5. pertaining to or characteristic of life in a ghetto or the people who live there: ghetto culture.

6. Often Disparaging and Offensive. noting something that is considered to be unrefined, low-class, cheap, or inferior: Her furniture is so ghetto!

These crimes don't make it past the local news. Otherwise, no one would want to come to the city of brotherly love.

Shouldn't George be embarrassed by letting an unarmed 17 year old get the better of him in combat? And he started it? He's so pathetic.

Thats right. The potential victim was supposedly hit and had to chase the perpetrator 40-50 feet before he could shoot him. And after being shot dead thru the heart, the perpetrator was still talking and fighting.

Just what you want on a jury: a bunch of not so bright, non-analytical people who watch a lot of "reality TV"..... No wonder they get verdicts like in the O.J. and Casey Anthony trials.
No matter what they do it is lose, lose. If they get somneone that is familiar with the case and can made rational choices based on the evidence they will say that they are bias, if they find someone who is clueless about the whole case, their intelligence may be questioned as their ability to comphrend the information that they are given. The reality is that they will find someone people that say that they don't know about the case but are lying and will carry their own prejuices into the courtroom.

I awlays thought that in the first place, this is the reason that regardless of the outcome he is a marked man just because he got his butt handed to him so bad he had to shoot a kid.

Them not knowing whether or not it was Trayvon is not material, and in fact it calls her testimony into question even more. Of course they could always require her to testify in court as to whether or not she recognizes the voice. And she could then lie one way or the other.
We will see.
