No way will a Sanford judge rule to acquit...that judge would be the next person lynched.

First he needs to get the trial moved out that area and then he may have a chance.

Don’t bring it to Tallahassee. I don’t want that crap here. Let Miami have it.

Question: Are the actual residents of Sanford, from whom a jury pool would be drawn, more or less likely to protect one of "their own". Zimmerman fits that classification. The young fellow he shot was visiting the area and by Zimmerman's account (he is the only surviving eye witness and seems to be backed up by the 911 call records) appeared to be casing houses. Where else would he get a fairer hearing than among the people who might know him and whose homes he ostensibly was trying to protect? The protesting mobs are going to show up and cause disturbance wherever any trial is held. The people of Sanford may be more willing to give those protesters the finger. I don't know enough about the area to judge.
