Ten Aha! Moments in the Zimmerman Trial to Date

In April 2012, the office of Florida State Attorney Angela Corey drew up an affidavit of probable cause against George Zimmerman for the second-degree murder of Trayvon Martin.

The affidavit was loaded. Martin was walking back to the townhouse "where he was living" when Zimmerman "profiled" him. Zimmerman "assumed Martin was a criminal." He called the police. The affidavit cited Martin's phone "friend" to attest, "Martin was scared because he was being followed by an unknown male and didn't know why." Again, according to the affidavit (and this was critical): "Zimmerman confronted Martin and a struggle ensued." Martin's mother then "identified the voice crying for help as Trayvon Martin's." Zimmerman admitted shooting Martin, and that apparently was good enough for the prosecutors.

For the next year, the major media accepted the affidavit as gospel. In so doing, they prepared their audiences to believe that George Zimmerman would be convicted for the killing of Martin. He won't be. Every interesting revelation in the trial so far has supported his innocence.

Here are ten such revelations:

I plan to take our boat out into the middle of Lake Winnipesaukee, drop anchor, and stay there til it’s all over.

Seriously...how many people of color are there within a 50 mile radius of Lake Winnipesukee; there's what like 6 black people in all of NH :-) I don't see the white-breads around there being very vested in "social justice" for Trayvon; at least not to the point of burning their towns down. PS: Love your neck of the woods; looking forward to another vacation at Wier's Beach someday.

Yes, I missed that as well. The best reason I can tell is that Cuthcher has testimony on record already that contradicts one of the prosecution's promininent witnesses, or she is just a very "inconsistant" in her story (which means "liar" in lawyer speak).

I know a case where the prosecution called almost no one to the witness stand except for the complainant. The reason was that if the prosecution would have called the lead investigator and detectives, the case would have been thrown out immediately because their story backed up the defendant. Of course, they did come down and testify for the defendant because they realized they guy had filed a false report.

If you think this trial is a circus just wait for the civil suit(s)....
