If he is acquitted, Zimmerman is the one who is in a position to sue.
There were reports on local TV stations referring to him as the “vigilante” shooter.
Not the “alleged” vigilante shooter, not “police have characterized him as a” vigilante shooter, but straight up calling him a vigilante.
On its face, if Zimmerman is exonerated, he has good cases against some news outlets for defamation.
You’re talking about rules. Why do you think rules matter to these people?
I would still like to know under what jurisdiction the DOJ has the authority to step in on a State matter?
They have not stepped in on other capitol crimes...
The facts of the matter are now irrelevant. The police and
the local DA did not arrest and charge because the facts upheld a claim of self defense. The “special prosecutor”
became involved because this is a showcase racism issue that
people in power want to use for their benefit. That is why
the grand jury was not used and why this prosecutor filed
Murder2 charges, not manslaughter.
Zimmerman is a sacrificial lamb who’s fate is already sealed. No judge isgoing to dismiss these charges, it would be political suicide for a number of reasons, the foremost being that whethe free shit army riots at Zimmerman being freed the judgewho made the decision will be viewed as the person responsible for the rioting.....not the animals who riot.
If Zimmerman is lucky...he might have one or two people on
his jury that will look at the facts and not the emotions and cause a hung jury. If that happens Zimmerman will
be tried again....and again and again, till either the
sought verdict of guilty is obtained or he is acquitted.
If he is acquitted he will still likely face federal charges
of some variety.....Holder isn’t about to let a Brown and White Cracker get away with killing one of “his people”.
Good post 2DV!
It simply amazes me the amount of people who don’t believe citizens have the right to protect themselves in the face of a physical assault.
I do not understand the big deal .This is the first time I have ever heard of a white Hispanic offing a black Black.
The Black Panthers will twitter the location of the residences of all the jurors and thus insure a guilty verdict.
It will never happen...the lynch mob is running this else he would never been charged....the time is past for fair...the mob wants it pound of flesh...else there will be war and blood...you can thank obama and holder for this
I wish Zimmerman safety and justice in his legal proceedings.
I'm sure Obama wishes this was closer to election...but I think it will be dead in the water in a couple of months. I think Zimmerman has a really, really good attorney.....a slender Perry mason.
Where did this author learn his critical thinking skills? Imagine that. You make something legal and suddenly you discover that the acts that were made legal are now legal.
I hope he gets off and rams a law suit up the butt of NBC for their tape doctoring.
Many people are forgetting that there will be a massive use of perjured evidence. Evidence will be created, as necessary, to counter each move by the defense. I can forsee a witness testifying that Zimmerman was chewing on "The Trayvon's" face just before the shooting.(Sarcasm)
Doesn't matter if they know it or not.
The current corrupt Justice Department can manufacture charges out of thin air indefinitely.
If George Z. is found "not guilty," of the murder charge that is, I see a certain new federal charge immediately appearing : "deprivation of civil rights," or some such similar all purpose charge with attached jail time.
The right to challenge probable cause, trial by jury, to a public trial, right to confront accusers and the bar against double jeopardy are as old as the Bill of Rights. It’s the next constitutional “outrage” that will have our Dear Leader doing a tap dance on the U.S. Constitution. Is there any traditional American institution he hasn’t already shown his public contempt for?
Others are concerned that the laws foster a vigilante, even trigger-happy mentality that might cause too many unnecessary deaths.An Associated Press review of federal homicide data doesn't seem to bear that out. Nationwide, the total number of justified homicides by citizens rose from 176 in 2000 to 325 in 2010. Totals for all homicides also rose slightly over the same period, but when adjusted for population growth, the rates actually dipped.
So much for that concern then.
This is a piece of leftist trash from the first sentence. Then it begins to repeat the Marxist/Anarchist template. Zimmerman did not persuade the police not to charge him. It was the District Attorney who refused to charge for lack of evidence. The charges only occurred after the "Poverty Pimps" and The full force of the Marxist/Anarchists with 0bama leading the charge I don't know all the facts in this case, but I do know
that this author is repeating or creating lies to prejudice the jury pool.
The lead police investigator wanted to charge Manslaughter.
the Black KKK started inciting riots and race-based murders.
to create a election wedge issue for black voters.
“he could not even be sued for civil damages by Martin’s family for wrongfully causing his death....”
Yeah, well I doubt they are thinking about that.
As an aside, though, if he’s convicted, then they won’t have much difficulty suing him. But if he’s got no money, then like OJ, he’ll never have to pay a dime.
They have a lot of state by state statistics showing an increase in “justifiable homicides” after SYG laws are passed. That makes perfect sense to me — if only a few percent of homeowners being robbed fight back because they now feel that they are in a better legal position, you’re gonna have a few more dead criminals.
