I dont believe for a second you'll see even close to the reaction by whites or Hispanics if he is not guilty. Where do you come up with this stuff? But if he's found guilty, we will see the same reaction by blacks as we did with OJ. If not guilty, I believe there will be unrest if not violence by blacks. And no, not all blacks but enough to cause a scene and do damage. I wish that wasn't the case but I'll be shocked if it doesn't happen

is Not the same as 'It was Trayvon.'
You cannot possibly understand the cultural differences between white attorneys and people who grow up in a Haitian culture. I think Rachel would understand exactly what I'm talking about and would not be insulted.

I did not say English illiterate. I said that Haitian Creole French was probably her first language which she learned as a child. Clearly she speaks English. The problem with communication, IMO, had to do with the cultural differences between the white attorneys and the lack of understanding of young urban people and the world they live in today.

In this story we have 2 people who acted in ways that defy logic and reason. 1 of them ended up dead for it.
We don't know what TM intended or if GZ's life was actually in danger. Tm may have only intended to deliver what he considered to be a well deserved whooping upon GZ. I certainly would have entertained thoughts of giving GZ a whooping.
But the law is about how GZ felt at the time. Did he feel like he was about to be killed? LOL getting whooped makes you think it may happen.
It is a sad story all the way around. It is a shame we can't cure stupid.
Youre right. And I wish there was better concrete evidence to prove what exactly happened. I dont envy the jury and it will be sad no matter the outcome.

OK, so Mr. Good didn't see anyone "slamming a head into the concrete". Is this supposed to be some kind of defense for Trayvon being on top whopping George?

...waiting for the smoking gun.

I've heard many, many medical examiners testify in court. I've also read many medical examiners' reports. I have helped find medical examiners to examine autopsy reports made by other medical examiners to be hired by the defense to testify as expert witnesses. And, additionally, I dated a chief medical examiner for a large city for a good while. He was the one of the smartest folks I've ever met. Very, very good at his job. So I do have a clue as to what types of things medical examiners can and do testify about. ty.

The evidence is being presented as we speak.

Mr. Good just testified that the guy with the dark clothing was on top of the guy in red, straddling him, whoopping his ass.

Mr. Good seems to have been the only eye witness to the entire thing.

Sure..sure..it's all the "white attorneys" fault.

Look...in any language...tell the truth.

"Cultural differences..." "young urban people"...LMAO.. ..that's funny stuff!

Are we all supposed to go out and learn how to butcher the English language to cater to a miniscule part of the population?

Are we watching the same trial? Mr. Good didn't say anything like that.
