To: Conscience of a Conservative

Ok despite all the hysterics here (and I generally support Z), it was quite clear at the bail hearing that the prosecution planned to rely on iconsistencies in Z’s statements.

Also, sealing the records appears to be supported by both sides. The evidence is not withheld from the defense.

The only possibly outrageous thing I saw here is referring to these statements as a “confession”. Had Z truly confessed to anything he would have been charged long ago.

Z certainly did not “murder” TM. However, he is in jeopardy on a lesser charge. One could question his decision to shoot when he did. That would be based on a claim he instigated the fight (I doubt he did) followed by whether he reasonably thought his life was in danger. That one is a closer call.

A 17 year old kid's hands are plenty to bludgeon and strangle another man to death. Considering Trayvon did indeed hit and pound his head against pavement, I say the law is backwards if it doesn't allow use of deadly force. Much to big of a burden someone being attacked
