When does the trial of the prosecutors begin?

Mark O’Mara was absolutely brilliant.

If Zimmerman is convicted of either murder or manslaughter, it will mean Florida’s self defense laws aren’t worth the paper they are written on and null & void at the discretion of the state.

If Zimmerman goes to jail for this, it is officially mob rule in America.

“If Zimmerman goes to jail for this, it is officially mob rule in America.”

Not sure about America but for sure Florida is not the place to vacation anymore.

(somewhere in a lonely hotel room,
There’s a guy starting to realize
That eternal fate has turned its back on him,
It’s two a.m...........)

It’s two a.m., the fear has gone
I’m sittin’ here waitin’, the gun still warm
Maybe my connection is tired of takin’ chances

Yeah there’s a storm on the loose, sirens in my head
I’m wrapped up in silence, all circuits are dead
I cannot decode, my whole life spins into a frenzy

Help I’m steppin’ into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon’s been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I’ve gone too far

Help I’m steppin’ into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon’s been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I’ve gone too far
Soon you will come to know,
When the bullet hits the bone

RE: Mark O’Mara was absolutely brilliant.

And unlike the Prosecution, he didn’t shout at the top of his voice.

I thought very good. i didn’t hear anything spectacular that would make me say brilliant. But very good. Was kind of hoping for a little something more but very good. I don’t think he dropped anything, and I think he made it clear about the reasonable doubt issue and how that breaks out.

It was a HUGE mistake to have an all-female jury in this case. This is the LAST place you want emotion to play a role in a verdict. I fear these women will be more concerned about the OUTCOME of their verdict, than TRUTH based on evidence and the LAW.

O'Mara said that even if the jurors have REASONABLE DOUBT that Zimmerman did NOT act in self-defense, THEY MUST FIND ZIMMERMAN 'NOT GUILTY'.

O’Mara did a great job. The prosecution’s rebuttal was all emotion, it was pathetic at best. Should be an open and shut case.

“You know Snoopy well.”

So do you, despite the fact that he never cared much for your kind. (feline)

Doesn’t matter what the evidence proves. The fix is in to persecute Mr.Zimmerman and send him to prison until he is an old man.

And yet every talking head on every news channel (unfortunately including Fox) seems to think he should have yelled and screamed....because they are all pushy ass New York Prosecutors....so apparently Omara should have grabbed himself and shouted “You’se got NOTHIN!!”

Someone needs to explain to the media that the entire world is not, nor revolves around New York City.
