There is a XXX movie title in there somewhere.
The arraignment is set for May 29th but his lawyer can request an immunity hearing to challenge the evidence of probable cause to indict before that. He hasn’t done that yet which isn’t unusual. He’ll want to have all of his ducks in a row to do that.
Students watch the OJ verdict:............................. LOL, in parts of my town they were dancing in the streets as if WW II had come to an end. OJ won because DNA science was way over the head of the jurors. It was like trying to teach trigonometry to them with no math background.
I know. But they really said that.
I think the broken nose and wounds to the back of the head would constitute "reasonable" fear of grievous bodily injury. If that is really what the law requires, then this is much ado about nothing, legally speaking.
A "Sister Souljah" moment eh? You are right, it would be so unexpected and so welcome to the naive that it would reframe his whole persona as a race pimping swine. But I won't hold my breath, he lacks the imagination necessary to pursue such a course even as a sociopathic gesture.
Florida's statute, as interpreted by the Supreme Court, provides for a pretrial hearing to go over the evidence. If the judge decides, by the preponderance of the evidence, that the defendant acted in self-defense, the case is over. No trial. No voir dire. No stinkin' jury. Also, the statute provides that the defendant is immune from civil action.
I believe that the single most important export of the British Empire, and the reason it's reach was wide and largely peaceable despite UK being a small country, was British common law. It is a great institution and it saddens me to see it fall into disuse in the US., while Kenya follows to some large extent the common law tradition passed on by the UK. While much of what Scalia writes is astonishingly good, he despises the common law.
So did Adolf Eichmann.
All it takes to hang the jury is one vote. But, is there anyone with the ba**s to do so; knowing that the New Black Panther Party will come after them and their family?
I want the Black Panthers to apologize for being thugs. I want them to understand civilized people do NOT put bounties on free citizens.
Contrary to what they think, we are a country of laws - at least until their kind ( Panthers) get their way. We are NOT some sh*t-hold third world thugocracy - yet.
I want the black community to apologize for having so many criminals among their ‘offspring’ that rational people assume a black kid out at night is up to no good.
I want the poverty pimps to apologize to Zimmerman’s family for putting this young man through so much grief - just for defending himself against a man who was attempting to murder him by bashing his head against the concrete.
And I want the MSM to apologize to equating ‘checking out a person who doesn’t live in a neighborhood’ with a thug who thinks appropriate ‘payment’ (for possibly being ‘followed’) is to attempt to kill the person by sitting on them and bashing their head against the street.
Waiting, waiting, waiting for excuses, PC revenge, etc....
The argument will be that the syg law will be invalidated because he continued to pursue Trayvon. If Zimmerman had not pursued him, there would not have been a confrontation, and everyone would be sipping Dr Pepper and eating skittles.
I want the Black Panthers to apologize for being thugs. Panthers need to understand civilized people do NOT put bounties on the heads of free citizen - they owe us an apology.

That thought just made me realize something; black neighborhoods have thugs who attack people from outside the neighborhood - namely gangs.
Zimmerman had a well-documented history of "checking out people who didn't live in the neighborhood" with the cops, and never once did he attack any of those people.
Trayvon was a gang-banger wannabe who would have interpreted any observation of him as a gang-member getting ready to attack him, so he made a preemptive strike.
The entire incident is not any more complicated than that.
Had Trayvon not been a gang-banger wannbe and acted accordingly, he would be with us today.
Or, like most gang-bangers Trayvon was thin skinned and ready to kill if he was 'dissed'...
You're also right about Zimmerman - he's been community watch for years - and never killed before - even studied criminal justice at college... Of course if Zimmerman hadn't been pinned to the ground having his head bashed against the concrete, he wouldn't have 'killed' this time either.
What's the statistic? One out of four black males is in prison, on parole, or in the criminal justice system... And we're suppose to act like they're 'just like anyone else'? Yeah. Right.
Liberals buy that crap BECAUSE blacks keep White Liberal Elites in office. If the black community said the moon was made of peppermint candy - the liberals would agree - and they'd call us racist for not agreeing. Of course, liberal elites know better, but they would agree. Ninety percent of the vote buys deception.
Blacks don't do give us 90% of their vote - and we don't have to buy their peppermint candy crap.
“that meant King did not have a jury of his peers.”
That is funny. For King to have a jury of peers, they would have to release persons from prison. That is where all his “peers” are. ;-)
An even better point.
