I feel guilty even commenting on this trial because this trial should NOT be national news and should not be a press feeding frenzy. This is a big story only because of its symbolic value for liberals, who want to use it to reinforce their AmeriKKKa world view. Even if Zimmerman is found guilty, it will probably be a manslaughter conviction, not first or second degree murder. Meanwhile, numerous black-on-white murders - some of them clearly racist in intent - receive virtually NO media attention.
Even manslaughter in this case would carry a 30 year sentence in prison.
