What would be great is if they came back.. like right now.. and said Not guilty all the way down the line. Just a huge F U to the judge and everyone involved in this sham...but I doubt that will happen.
Zim should be not guilty, but I’m cynical.
A deal was struck.
He’ll be convicted of manslaughter and get a light sentence in a “country club” prison. In exchange he’ll get a taxpayer funded stipend in the 7 figures. Plus he gets book rights and protection when released.
Within 2 years he’ll be off the radar. Two years of his life for a couple of million tax free and guaranteed income and protection after release.
Either that or a hung jury and the circus continues before ending as I predict.
He should never have been charged but the masses must be distracted and amused.
If political prosecution had a father, it would look like Obama.
Plus he gets to sue CNN for a few million for posting his SS#.
I’m sure all the prospective looters have flat-screen TV’s in every room and vehicle...but, the problem is...most of them aren’t the new 3D TV’s!!!
I shudder to think what will happen to the Zimster if sent to a Florida prison. It’ll be a death sentence; he’ll have to seek out the protection of the Ayran Brotherhood.
Just wondering.....if a woman was on trial for murder and the jury consisted of 6 men, you can bet there would be a hue and outcry from the media saying she wasn’t being tried by a jury of her peers.
Unfortunately that is not the case. Manslaughter of a minor by using a firearm is 30 years in Florida. Chances are no one on the jury is aware of this.
Self defense rules out manslaughter, though.
Doesn’t mean we won’t get some convoluted wacky verdict...
and the animals are gathering outside the court house
I did not know that...is the 30 years mandatory? Could he be released early?
Twitter world is really heating up with the riot talk. When the not guilty verdict comes in stay out the Mall.
I think there will be an acquittal. How could anyone say the state has proven not self defense beyond a reasonable doubt? That chart says it all.
No wonder CNN ratings are up
There are a number of older people in this complex, and some know every car that belongs in here and we don't have any teenagers in here. One time, one young man tried to climb over our 8 ft, brick walls dividing our gardens in the back and an elderly woman saw him trying to climb a wall so she called the cops, then called the elderly woman next door to tell her the guy was climbing into her garden. This elderly woman went into her garden, grabbed the guy, marched him through her house through the front door and by that time, other elderly people had gathered outside to hold the person until the police got there which was just a short time. Our older men are likely all ex-military and they booted out two young men who tried to come in after Ike when our gate was open.
Zombies should stay away from older people, especially in Texas and when they are together in a number. They aren't going to put up with anyone disturbing their peace. “We don't want no zombies in here.” This just isn't a good place to try a heist. Better to go where a car can stop outside and the house is a separate house.
BTW, I don't know why Zimmerman's defenders don't start accusing Martin's sympathizers of racism against hispanics. The race card can be played both ways here.
No, the state couldn't touch him again. The family could sue him and perhaps Holder would try to get him but I read somewhere that Holder/Justice Dept. wouldn't.
