If there were any truth left in media today, a story of the true History of this case would have hit the major newspapers by now. Well done... dang shame it would never make the op-ed pages of the big papers. Maybe the Washington Times... maybe.

IMHO, this is EXACTLY why mom should parade a long line of black witnesses (maybe wearing hoodies) of the good Zimmerman has done for the black community by acting as mentors, defending the homeless, etc. Let’s get the elephant out of the room and easy enough for the low information voters to follow.

If both Zimmerman and Martin were of the same race or ethnic background, this case would never have seen a courtroom.

If Martin had been white and Zimmerman black, this case would never have been a courtroom.

If Martin had been any other ethnic background besides black, and Zimmerman were white, this case would never have seen a courtroom.

I always thought it strange that this case never even hit the national news until about a month after it happened. Bloggers and race baiters kept pushing the story for their own purposes, and then the national media finally picked it up and ran with it.

And upon learning that Zimmerman was Hispanic, the media, who in their zeal to enflame the situation did not do much fact checking, decided that Zimmerman was a “White Hispanic”, so they could keep their narrative alive that a white man shot an innocent black boy.

This whole case reeks on so many levels, from the news media coverage, to how it got in the media, to the lies and fabrications in the media, fabrications told by those allied with the Martin side of the case.

I hope and pray it all ends peacefully and that justice is properly served.

yet the band plays on. I lay this now upon the shoulders of that POS judge. She should have nipped this all the in bud rather than being pro prosecution. Once past that and fully aware of all the evidence, both on and off the record, she should have acquitted. Yet, she turns down the motion in a nano second and directs they continue.

The only thing between Zimmerman now and certain death in jail is 6 members of the jury. Hopefully they take their oath seriously but since the judge has not, why should they?

If this judge had been preciding over the OJ case, he would have been in the death chamber by now.

Echoes of an earlier case. Something about a place called Duke . . . Black on White . . . get Whitey . . . public pressure to mount a kangaroo court . . . prosecutorial abuse . . . becoming rather common now that the thugs and looters have taken over.

It is the same thing the media is doing to Paula Deen. Just because a racial slur was supposedly used, the media ran with it without waiting for the facts to come out. Now we are hearing that Lisa Jackson’s lover is refuting everything that Lisa Jackson said in her deposition. Paula Deen is going to be suing some asses off....just like Zimmerman should do after this trial is over.

We see that the rule in this politically correct world is that anyone violating political correctness is targeted for destruction.

They're not members of the legal so-called "profession."

They are trying to avoid black riots. It won’t do any good. The blacks will riot anyway. Meanwhile poor old GZ’s life is ruined. I hope he can write a book and sell the movie rights so he can get some of his life back.

I predict that before this week is out that Sybrina and Tracey will be slinking down in their seats thinking that everybody is looking at them and they will be right. By Thursday they may be noticeably absent as will a lot of their former supporters. Only those who drew the short straws will be there.

Uncle Chip, I would bet they sit it out to the bitter end, because they know they can have the obligatory ruckus when the verdict is read on live TV.

The ruckus on the street will start soon after. The twitterverse is going to be going mad.

Folks, SYG covers your car too. Don’t let the ferals pull you out and do a Reginald Denny on you.

“the elite media is already cutting coverage.”

I expect they will broadcast little or none of the Defense’s case, and act as if the D. didn’t have one.

"Once past that and fully aware of all the evidence, both on and off the record, she should have acquitted"

I'm no fan of this judge by any stretch of the imagination. She has made it blatantly obvious that she is biased in almost every ruling she has made. As I have said previously, I've even seen her interpret the testimony of a witness who was still on the stand right in front of the jury using her own twist.

Having said that, there is no way on earth any judge in their right mind would make the acquittal decision on this case. As wrong as it may be, throwing the case out would invoke the burning of Oakland and Watts, and this argument would NEVER be laid to rest on top of it all. No one wants to give them any excuses at this point and most certainly, no one wants to be the person responsible for giving Sharpton an excuse to be on TV anymore than he already is.

and may I say that the judge did the defense a favor by giving the defense the last word of the day, and two powerful witnesses...the uncle was great and honest....that is the weekend, not Martin’s Mom....

That would be consistent with their history of spiking any facts that don’t match their narrative.

I may be in the minority, but I don’t forsee any mass rioting. The media will do its best to gin some up, but the public’s not really behind them at the moment, and just the simple fact that it takes over a week to cover all the reasons Zimmerman is innocent will undercut their efforts. A couple of small disturbances here and there maybe, that’ll be it.

The jury did that. They were given the choice and chose to continue.
