Zimmerman said he lost sight of Martin, got out of his car to call police and was walking back to his vehicle when the 17-year-old attacked him.

The prosecution maintains that Martin, not Zimmerman, was the person that neighbors heard shouting for help that night.

Asserting is one thing. Proving beyond a reasonable doubt is another. All the prosecution has done is make the case of reasonable doubt for Zimmerman.

Listening to the live feed right now.

I haven’t heard all state witnesses yet, but from what I have heard, I don’t see any way George Zimmerman can be convicted.

I also did not see any way O.J. would be found not guilty.

Georgie boy is toast!

Facts, evidence don’t matter in America anymore.

In this case facts are not relevant. If Zimmerman is found not guilty, there will be race riots all over the country. Therefore, he must be found guilty, no matter what the evidence shows.

(OK, sarcasm is now OFF).

He was railroaded from the start. As soon as bambi put his nose in it, it was all over for Zimmerman. I hope he sues the living crap out of all those involved, and it sets an example to all the race baiters out there!

Anyone else [almost] welcome the “race riots”?

Call their bluff. I’m tired of being blackmailed.

A very important question: WHERE in relationship to his vehicle was Zimmerman attacked? I’ve been trying to get that bit of info for over a year now.

Thanks

the answer MUST be that it was infront of the eye witness’ house who came out of his house to ask what was going on.

Zimmerman’s dad made a mistake by naming him George. If his name were LaGeorge, DeGeorge or some such, the community might have bought into his black heritage. For want of a prefix, a trial was lost.

The maggots showed up because they thought Hispanic Catholic Zimmerman was a Jew. It got out of hand before they figured out he wasn’t, although even now there are folks pushing the Zimmerman=Jewish meme.

If his name was Jorge Zambrano, this would have remained a little local dustup, if that.

“Georgie boy is toast!”

I have no argument that this country is going down the drain, but Zimmerman will at worst will get a hung Jury. The State will not retry the case. Zimmerman will probably be killed at some point short of leaving the State incognito. If he plays his cards right, maybe he lives and gets away with a little extra cash via his CNN lawsuit, less his Civil suit losses.

Doesn’t make any difference at all.

If he was 1 foot from his vehicle or 10 miles form his vehicle, when he was assaulted and his life placed in danger, he then had the right to defend his life.

Even if Zimmerman followed Trayvon at a distance of one foot and called him every name in the book, Martin had no right to assault him. As soon as martin did that he became a violent criminal.

I have never seen a case with excessive reasonable doubt than this.
Angela Corey and Bernie “The Roach” should be disbarred over bringing
this case in front of a jury.

No, blacks hate Hispanics as much as they hate any other whites. They are very jealous because Hispanic immigrants, even those who arrive here without a word of English, are doing a lot better than blacks. But that’s because Hispanics still believe in working for a living, rather than getting it from welfare or from lawsuits.

Those race riots could turn into more court cases.

Pray for America to Wake Up
