Good point. Along perhaps with the stolen property, drug and vandalism history.

I'm new to the laws of the state of FL....but in general, wouldn't it make sense for the state to declare what they are trying someone for before the trial, not afterwords? Makes it kind of hard to put up a fair defense when you don't even know the charges.

Are you seriously thinking I would pick a fight with multiple people? No, I was blind sided and attacked by 3 people intent on robbery.

The jury will be the judge of that!

Take note that just about everyone thinking Zimmerman is guilty is a liberal. They don't care about law, dont care that nothing was proven. They care about their agenda

Read this comment - Martin was now a "child"? Who was beating a dude's head against the ground? Man, children sure are dangerous sometimes.

LOL! Right?!

So, do you think being blindsided and attacked is the same as being in a fight?

This trial was run and prepared for as a murder trial. I dont think the lesser charges should be allowed. And nothing has been proven by the State. The judge has to know this. It would be irresponsible to allow other charges at this point.

We'll see if the jury does their jobs and goes off the States case that was presented. If they do, the only verdict should be Not Guilty on all counts. I wonder if they are told the penalties for lesser charges
Well then, Justice Tilt, the court will be sure to consult with you before making any future rulings. Dang, I wonder why they didn't consider that in the beginning

Evidently not on here or outside the courtroom. The dead person is black, the person who turned that person room temperature is not so the non-black must be guilty of something.

They just showed T.M.'s friend testifying about the "cracker" comments. Doesn't it strike anyone as a bit weird that she didn't think the comments T.M. made were racist comments? It's kind of stuck in my mind ever since she testified and after all the comments on here that the opinion seems to be you can only make racist comments or be racist if you're other than black.

TM is going to be a sacrificial lamb...

Bet you white people don't riot, though.

The Prosecution has gone to great lengths to keep TM's unsavory character out of the picture.

I hope for acquittal, but if we don't get it, then I want a re-trial. That will give Defense the time they need since now they have all the evidence that the Prosecution withheld in this case.

Most intelligent people know that the damage is only returned to the consumer. So, we will be paying attention to who is rioting, if that is the case, and then proceed to make the judgment call on who is intelligent or not.
