No wonder Dan Abrams left MSNBC . . . The former legal analyst at the "Lean Forward" network, now at ABC, expressed an opinion this morning that would surely be unwelcome at his former shop.
Guest-hosting on Good Morning America, Abrams opined that as a legal matter "I don't see how a jury convicts" George Zimmerman of murder or manslaughter. Abrams sees too much reasonable doubt in the prosecution's case to warrant a guilty verdict.

The Judge, just like the Prosecutor in Jacksonville, is covering her a$$. She doesn’t want to be known as the judge that let Zimmerman off the hook and caused the riots, that are already gearing up.
She, surely, has set up an appellant court win if Zimmerman is convicted.
GZ says the kid is high.
TM wasn't in his right mind and the following was like goading him.....as he explained to his chick....who was probably his fence.
If this judge gets to the appellate level, there should be riots about that.
I am beginning to think that Zimmerman was charged and prosecuted just to appease the racial outrage. They put forth a case they knew they could not win but they can now say, ‘We tried’. Unless the jurors are instinctively frightened should they not render a guilty...justice will be served.
Most definitely.
The ME was asked more than once about the toxicology report and the Judge had to warn more than once IN FRONT OF THE JURY about her ruling on the toxicology report
Meaning...you can’t discuss the contents. Defense was just getting in there that one was drawn and some specifics about where you would want to draw the blood etc.
It’s enough for them to wonder about the missing report.
I would have to agree although you never know. Jury’s can make some pretty irrational decisions.

“I am beginning to think that Zimmerman was charged and prosecuted just to appease the racial outrage.”
No bout adoubt it!
Is it possible that the prosecution had access to the Obozo Universal Database to jury select?
Think about that.
The important question needs to be raised in city governments around the US: “If, after the Zimmerman verdict, there are efforts to riot in this city, do you have contingency plans to deal with it?”
Basically, they need to know that if there is a riot, and they are caught unprepared in dealing with it, they are going to pay a hard political price for that failure.
The same question needs to go to chiefs of police. That they need to respond swiftly and forcibly in the event of riot.
Fair warning. If they fail, it is *their* fault, and they need to lose *their* job. So get your act together, and do not fail.
Wasn’t it ABC that placed a huge logo across the screen and jiggled the sally port video so the viewers couldn’t see Zimmerman’s wounds? Abrams may not last long at ABC.
If one juror holds out, then there can’t be a conviction. But, look at the jury. Is it easier to get unanimity from a jury of six or of twelve? Obviously, it’s from a jury of six. Is it easier to get unanimity from a mixed jury of men and women, or from a jury of all women? Again, it’s easier from a jury of all women. People are bags of emotions walking around. Remember, we’re the nation where the majority of our voters elected Obama.....twice. Don’t think that all Americans, or even a majority of Americans, behave in a rational manner.
IMO, that's what it's been about since the very beginning.
Can a Florida judge toss the jury’s verdict and issue her own?
Is that a screen shot? The reporterette looks like she’s about to pass out from shock!
I'll double down on that. This judge seems quite frightened about riots, and it seems to be influencing her judgement.
I can understand why. With this emotional powderkeg, black riots may bring on serious white backlash.
Que' sera, sera... whatever will be, will be.
Hope he walks.... Hope they burn down their own neighborhoods in faked anger. Hope they get promised new wicker baskets full of snakes from Erkel Mugabes regime of lies.... Hope I never have to use a weapon in self defense in this era of political bullshit.
Hope yer having a good day....:o)
I see lots of ways.
1.-A bunch of stupid cows comprise the Jury
2.-The judge is biased.
3.-Obama wants a conviction.
4.- There is no such thing as laws and justice, the law and justice is whatever the guys with the power say it is, this is true at every level and at all times throughout human history.
I could go on.
Creepy leftest don’t like folks who break rank. Dan Abrams’ brave for standing up for what’s right as opposed to what’s politically correct. He’s in my prayers...
That is the one thing she can’t do. She can only overturn a guilty verdict, she can’t overturn a not guilty verdict.
OTOH since things are going so bad for the prosecution, she might decide to declare a mistrial and force Zimmerman to go through this whole thing again.
She’ll be looking for some response by a defense witness to claim prejudice to the state and just declare a mistrial and save her own butt and that of the prosecution.
