People are still innocent until proven guilty in this country aren’t they?

Appeal by whom? It is my understanding a jury consists of persons approved by both the defense and prosecution attorneys.

Subject to appeal, eh?

So... the prosecution fails to get a conviction and appeals?

Is this how it works, dummass?

If we get an appeal due to the “race” of the jury, since only blacks can be jurors apparently, shouldn’t Zimmerman be acquitted based on the fact that the president (God I still hate referring to this ass-hat as president) , came out and basically prejudiced the whole country by saying Travon was his virtual son?

Yeah, they’re pretty much opposed to, ignorant of, or simply assume that the rules shouldn’t apply to them and their agenda.

Of course, “double jeopardy” applies when they are defending a true deviant and threat to society,

but not someone whose actions threatens their agenda.

Has Florida lawyer Joe Scarborough ever heard of double jeopardy?

Indeed, such appeals are usually brought by a convicted defendant, so the entire premise is based on the similarity in race (or rather, the lack thereof) between the jurors and the *defendant* The "victim" isn't part of the picture.

Joe has rocks in his head.

If the “correct” verdict is not returned, Orlando will burn. Probably Miami and Tampa, too.

If the innocent guy is found innocent, there will be appeals and the ‘justice’ dept will ‘find’ another charge to lay on him and prosecute him again.

“Obama - “came out and basically prejudiced the whole country by saying Travon was his virtual son?”

The media with their use of child photos of Martin, and Obama’s statements had Zimmerman convicted and guilty before the trial.

I don’t recall the right to a trial by your alleged victim’s peers.

This is a hoot. Joe is a fool.

There is authority for appeals when the accused is Black and the prosecution systematically excludes Blacks from serving on jury through peremptory challenges.

However, the right to a jury of peers is held by the accused, not the so-called victim, or his family, or his greedy lawyers.
