How could he be innocent of the crime of which he's accused if by making a mistake which would lead to a conviction? He's either guilty or not guilty & if he's not guilty, what possible mistake could he make that he would be convicted????
I guess you've never been on trial and been cross examined have you?

Trayvon Martin Case Shadowed by Series of Police Missteps

An examination of the Sanford Police Department’s handling of the case shows a series of missteps — including sloppy work — and circumstances beyond its control that impeded the investigation and may make it harder to pursue a case that is already difficult enough.

In interviews over several weeks, law enforcement authorities, witnesses and local elected officials identified problems with the initial investigation:

I heard that Martin's girlfriend Jeandell apparently wrote a letter about what happened and then admitted that she didn't even know how to read it. I also heard the prosecution screwed up by allowing the ME to bring in his notes.

There was no point in having Martin's mother testify. We all know she will say it was Martin screaming for help. But the defense hurt itself by even questioning her. I also heard that the judge refused to let the defense even express concern for her loss. Even the liberal CNN defense expert said she had never seen a judge refuse to let the defense attorney treat the witness like a human being. The bias against the defense in this case is unprecedented.

No I haven't, as I don't commit crimes, but what's that got to do with it? Zimmerman's either guilty or he's not. In reading your writings, it's not about justice, it's about winning even if lets a murderer back out on the streets. Personally, I feel Zimmerman's a pathological liar with no remorse. If that's the case, & Zimmerman walks, this isn't the last we'll be hearing from him.

You can blame the police, you can blame whomever you want, but the bottom line is it comes down to Angela Corey. She didn't have a case. She bowed to political/racial pressure.

She's a very foolish woman.

That is funny. I am thinking Z will retire from neighborhood watching.

Many of us who've been watching the trial disagree with you.

Have you watched the live stream or just caught the followup slanted news ?

I heard she is being investigated for falsifying the Zimmerman arrest warrant.

Nah, if he is found not guilty he should open his own security firm that provides watch services for communities.

Actually, I think the fact she prosecuted the case, even if she lost, might have helped her get votes if the state's case had not turned into a total embarrassment. The only question left is how long the jury will pretend to deliberate before the not guilty verdict.

Only a racist could support a guilty verdict now.
