The National Bar Association will hold a news conference Monday in South Florida to discuss legal issues surrounding the George Zimmerman trial and the implications of the stand-your-ground law.
Trayvon Martin's parents, along with their attorney, Benjamin Crump, association President John E. Page and religious leaders will attend the news conference.

"The verdict," Page said in a statement. "says an unarmed college-bound Black teen can be profiled, stalked, confronted and killed by an armed neighborhood watchman with hollow tip point bullets.

“The verdict,” Page said in a statement. “says an unarmed college-bound Black teen can be profiled, stalked, confronted and killed by an armed neighborhood watchman with hollow tip point bullets...if he pins that watchman to the ground and starts beating him.
It won’t be long before they start selling indulgences of a hoodie nailed to a cross.
The verdict, Page said in a statement, says an unarmed college-bound (irrelevant statement not in evidence) Black (irrelevant) teen (irrelevant) can be profiled (empty assertion), stalked (empty assertion), confronted (all evidence contradicts this) and killed (you betcha) by an armed neighborhood watchman (fantastic) with hollow tip point bullets (would FMJ or wad cutters have been better?).
Hey Jeantel is now college bound too.
And a woman with four children can be working the third shift in a hot bakery and three black teenagers, out on bond with extensive rap sheets wearing hoodies can profile, stalk, break in, corner her and shoot her to death.
The Trayvonistas will milk the myth for all that it is worth. Meanwhile the rest of America has moved on (dot org).
Of course he was college bound. He was going to be the next black president and do it at 24.
I think in honor of the SYG protests, they should air the movie ‘DJANGO UNLEASED’ on TV that weekend.
Everyone seems to have forgotten about DJANGO.
Cool Movie..... and widely misunderstood.
When are these ignorant jacka$$es going to learn that the Zimmerman case was not a “Stand Your Ground” issue. The defense stated from the beginning that it was a case that involved self defense with Zimmerman fearing for his life. Stand your ground is an entirely different set of circumstances.
No, the verdict says that the prosecution did not prove its case that the defendant committed the crimes he was charged with beyond a reasonable doubt - and they did not - in fact, not even anywhere close. There was virtually no evidence to support their case. There is also absolutely no evidence of profiling or stocking, but there was considerable evidence which strongly suggested the defendant fired the shot after being repeatedly assaulted, including suffering a broken nose and having his head bashed into concrete more than once (indeed, the only eye witness said Martin was on top of Zimmerman). It's a sad, tragic situation, but you don't convict people of crimes there is no evidence for. The most he should have been charged with even stretching the case as far you could and assuming the most with flimsy evidence presented would have been involuntary manslaughter - and it is highly doubtful he would have been convicted even with that lesser charge with the evidence that existed. There was never sufficient evidence to justify this case to be prosecuted to begin with as the initial prosecutor assigned the case concluded.
Alan Dershowitz analyzes the Zimmerman verdict (certainly no conservative)
The press and the narrative they are creating is very disturbing...are they trying to condition people who will serve on juries to just convict every defendant because they feel bad about situations just to please the press and the powers that be?

Between affirmative action, Harvard alumni legacy entitlement for Obama's (if he had a) son, Trayvon might have also benefitted from his presidential-pseudo-daddy's 'Indonesian' foreign student designation so that he wouldn't have to prove he could write anything (in script?) for Harvard's law review either. Easy, peasy diploma mill for agrieved entitlement mongers.
It’s a completely dishonest narrative - trying to make it seem as though evidence existed to convict him but he just got off on a technicality due to the “Stand Your Ground” law - which has nothing to do with the fact that the prosecution did not come anywhere near proving their case and there was virtually no evidence to support it, and that is the case if the “stand your ground” law did not exist and the right to self defense is not something that requires codification.
They KNOW this, but their goal is to make it impossible to defend yourself even if the law exists because of fear of being persecuted by the race mob if you do, effectively ending the 2nd amendment even if it still exists. Watch for more and more whites to be brought up on charges in self defense or SYG shootings if the person they shoot/kill is non-white. Police and DA’s around the country got the message to arrest and charge whitey now because it’s easier than dealing with the politics of the mob.
They already know it, they're just lying through their teeth about it.
The Bar Association... Like the NAACP and many, many other organs, this once-august state-sponsored monopoly has morphed into just another auxiliary wing of the Democratic National Committee.
