No, Zimmerman's fate is in the state's hands. Even if the jury acquits, the state will be back.

I'd like to say that the Constitution protects GZ if he's acquitted. Unfortunately, we no longer follow the supreme law of the land. He will face federal charges, civil lawsuits, or both from now until the day he moves to a non-diverse area (northern Idaho?) or is murdered by someone who looks like Obama's son.

That poor man’s gut must be tied up in 100 knots.

Wasn’t it a Florida jury that acquitted Casey Anthony of murdering her daughter to go club hoping?

I don’t know the range of the sentencing guidelines, but given this judge’s conduct, rulings and attitude, I think she would gladly give the maximum.

How many hands did this Martin kid have???

He has one hand (at least) holding the can of Arizona Iced Tea he is slamming GZ with & he is punching GZ also presumably with the other hand. The attack mode of a punch down which the black punk community seems to think is very successful & fun.

WHAT HAND is holding the phone & using it to talk to the totally uneducated 17 (then) year old female who hates white people in all categories?

She made it perfectly clear that she had the instincts of a Mau Mau tribesperson in ANY dealings with whites.

“There is no way that my God wanted George Zimmerman to murder my teenage son,” he said.

Crips god, or Blood god?

I am bothered by the fact that ONLY 6 persons are being used in a case where the penalty could literally be life in prison.

Why NOT 12 persons?

I sat on an Assault & Battery case years ago in the jury, and we had 12 persons for that crime. We also convicted him.

I’m heading to the rap forums to incite a riot.

Floirida state law allows only six jurors in non-capital crimes.

That's why.

This ordeal reminds me of an incident I experienced just before the 2012 elections. I was in my car going around to the homes of voters I had targeted as strong Republicans with get-out-the-vote literature. While I was trying to set my GPS navigator to a house I was having trouble finding, a car moved up behind me and stopped. I got out and the driver, a female, got out of her car. She asked me, “What are you doing in her neighborhood?” I told her that I was working for the Republican Party putting literature at doors in the neighborhood. I told her I was lost and needed to find a particular house. She told me about the large amound of break-ins and said that she did not trust people doing what I was doing. She moved on and, since it was getting late, I went home.

Did I walk over and say, “Hey ho, why are you bothering me?” And punch her in the nose?

No, and when I got home, I received a ringing of my door bell. It was the county sheriff and he wanted to follow up on a complaint about me acting in a suspicious manner in a neighborhood.

The people in the media are very smart. Within minutes of a story breaking, they know how to frame it so it fits in one of their agendas. They may be completely off track, but it doesn’t matter. Once one media outlet starts the ball rolling, the others pick it up, and before long the low-information a$$hole believes the story.

Whites didn’t riot when an obviously guilty double-murderer named OJ Simpson was acquitted. But then they were not looking for an excuse to steal and kill.

The all-female jury

And there's the problem.

My prediction is a hung jury--4 in favor of conviction and 2 against.

And despite getting off to a bad start with the knock-knock joke, I think Mara did a great job with respect to the forces that are arrayed against Zimmerman, especially the looney Rat judge.
