Telling jurors to not fill in the gaps. Whoops, as a juror I would immediately fill in the gaps. Guilty!

Wow....Messed up w/ the Adams comments. Not asking you to let my guilty client go???
If his purpose is to do damage control, because the jurors watched George's taped interviews...He has really messed up.

I've seen the family of the victim show empathy to the person who committed the crime & their family simply because at the end of the day lives have been altered. Everybody is mourning something. I sympathize for EVERYONE involved here; Martin's family & Zimmerman's family. I don't care what anyone says; even if he's found not guilty he's not gonna be skipping around town drinking Starbucks tomorrow. Regardless of the jury's decision the course of his life has been changed forever.
You are compassionate, Nat, but do you know why I don't feel bad for Zimmerman and his folks? Because he's still alive, and he could have avoided killing Trayvon by not following him. I seriously hope for a conviction.

This case is nothing more than the media trying to make it harder for law-abiding citizens to carry and use their weapons in self defense. They want us to think if only one gun is involved, the shooter always overreacted. This is wrong. People should not have to wait until they are almost dead before they open fire to save their own life.

If George does walk free, that doesn't mean he's "exonerated", not guilty. No one will ever know the truth of what happened that night.

Stop the rambling!!!! O Mara lost me already and I knew from a interview he did yesterday that he ad libs. He sounds a bit insulting to the jury.

Most adults would understand his argument and not.

40 feet is not that far. A semi trailer can be longer. One punch could send someone reeling backwards that far until they fall or regain their balance.

You're actually quite correct. I think you and I have come to different conclusions on this case but at the end of the day, a not guilty verdict means one thing only - the state could not prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. While I feel the state has not met their burden, I still think the entire event was unfortunate and regrettable.
