Please indulge me in a very infrequent vanity. In all the uproar following the trial, I may have missed something. While I believe that the facts show Zimmerman's innocence beyond ANY doubt, I still think the state's case was hurt by what appeared to this layman to be an inept and incompetent prosecution. (Yes, I believe they are corrupt and unethical too, but that isn't the question here).
So here's my question: Has anyone on the left or any black organizations or leaders, had any criticism at all of the prosecution team? If they care so much about Trayvon, why haven't they criticized the poor case presented by the prosecution?
The prosecution was inept in charging him, not in the court.
They had nothing to work with.
The man killed Martin in self defense.
He should have never been charged.
My suspicion is that since Corey is part black and since the prosecutors are almost certainly Democrats, they are getting a pass from the race baiters.
if zimmerman got hit, you must aqquit
they had no evidence, they had no case. It was a show trial for Obama because “getting back at the system” was why he became president. No doubt this all started in the white house and the ultimate failure of the prosecution will lead to a deeper persecution of GZ by all entities of the federal govt. The fact that lil Traydmark was in the process of a “hate crime” had no bearing on the case either.
If it’s not GZ, it’ll be some other white guy or group that will eventually get railroaded by this regime in the name of “just us”..
It's more in character for somebody like Sharpton to accuse the state of intentionally sandbagging to avoid convicting the "white" guy. So why hasn't he?
it’s never been about the prosecutor, it’s always been about Obama and he can never fail..
Won’t matter for long. In another generation Zimmermans will be guilty for first degree murder with racial hatred in 9 out of 10 cases with one being hung jury and then found guilty in the retrial.
Laws, evidence, facts... none of that will matter as we fall from A Justice System to Just A System.
I heard Jesse Jackson on public radio (while I was gathering intel), and he complained that there was “not a single black attorney prosecuting the case in that courtroom”. He went on to say that when a victim is black, the jury should also be black because “Trayvon was denied a jury of his peers”.
The incompetence of the prosecution was largely due to the fact that nearly all the evidence corroborated the defendant. They had no case, and it should have never gone to trial at all. It was incompetent of them to succumb to political pressure in bringing the case, assuming they were honest and knew better, which is giving them a benefit of a doubt that IMO they do not deserve.
“. He went on to say that when a victim is black, the jury should also be black because “Trayvon was denied a jury of his peers”.”
There WERE blacks in the jury pool and the prosecution didn’t want them.
Not one person who I have spoken with who believes the verdict unjust will acknowledge that both the evidence and the testimony of Rachel Jeantel proved that Trayvon confronted GZ which, of course, was when the fight began. Not a single one of them is able, when challenged, to provide one scintilla of evidence to support their theory that GZ started the fight other than to say he did so by following Martin. They willingly ignore the testimony of Jeantel who said the first words she heard spoken between Martin and GZ was when Martin asked GZ why was he following him.
It's scary to see and realize how the minds of these otherwise normal, rational people have been so completely manipulated by a leftist media with its agenda. Scary indeed.
If Zimmerman's convicted, no need for marches, riots, blowhard speeches, martyrdom, Trayvon's law, national legislation against SYG, or whatever else is up their sleeves. Better he should go "free."
You looking for brownie points from Holder?
They had NOTHING to prosecute - get it!
geeeze -with friends like you....
Man-hating in professional circles appears to be inexplicable incompetence to people seeing it from the outside.
I’ve been waiting for the “rioting masses” to turn on the cracka prosecutors.
I don't thnk we are - you're pushing an agenda even the race baiters haven't yet - hence you had to post a vanity - - and I can't believe you're really that naive.
So what's your game?
Of the interviews I’ve heard on local talk radio, this is also the case. And then they suddenly have to get off the phone when they have no answer.
