Someone in the state of Fla. ought to explain to these people that evidence (or in SOME cases, the lack of it), is the reason a we have a judge and jury who meet to determine innocence or guilt of the accused...instead of following the ‘judgement’ of public opinion.

I'm going to go ahead and say it. For a segment of the population that thinks it is wrong to stereo type, based on the actions "of a few", the raw ignorance and stupidity on display for the is defeating their position. And the media is not helping the cause by repeatedly showing how stupid the stereo typed portion of the population apparently is.

Every time I see another story of a person that does not understand the most basic and fundamental of our "rule of law", I think I "stereo" type just a little more.

The MSM is criminally remiss in NOT addressing FIRST AND FOREMOST the basic and critical legal defects of current and blindly BIASED public opinion and statements about the outcome of the trial.

If the outraged public DOES NOT/CANNOT comprehend how the fundamentals of the legal system work, nothing anyone says will EVER convey to them that their objections are groundless, strictly emotional and subjective opinions!

Everyone has and is certainly ENTITLED to (a word they surly understand) an opinion, but opinions CANNOT determine fact...hence the legal and judicial system...!
