As the State’s Affidavit of Probable Cause confirms, it is highly likely that the Special Prosecutor intends to present evidence to the jury tending to show that Zimmerman acted with a racial animus in killing Martin. Indeed, the Affidavit asserts that Martin “was profiled by Zimmerman” and “was unarmed and was not committing a crime”…see also id. Ex. 3 (investigative report regarding previous calls by Zimmerman to police that “reported suspicious persons, all young Black males”). In short, there is every reason to believe that the State will attempt to obtain a conviction relying in significant part on the notion that Zimmerman acted with a malice motivated by race.

Not only is profiling not bad, but even racial profiling has a place. As one journalist who did ride-alongs with cops in chigago’s south side said, if you see white guys driving around there, it is almost guaranteed they are up to no good.
they need to ask for a new judge
That does sound right. If you set out to defame someone, this reads like a textbook on how to do it. Comcasts lawyers will move quickly to settle of course, but I hope GZ keeps them dangling for a year or two. It will be “bad for bidness” and that’s the only kind of pain NBC and it’s owners will actually care about.
Hey NBC, pinning somebody to the ground and beating their head into a concrete sidewalk IS AGAINST THE LAW. GZ had every right to use deadly force to defend himself. Those are the facts and all the race baiting, riot inciting and hand wringing will not change those facts. NBC CNN CBS and ABC better get their checkbooks out because it is about time to pay up for your actions.
Even the libtards are admitting they doctored the tape to make GZ look bad, and that pretty much got the ball rolling for everything else
It is about time a libtard organization paid the price for deliberate character assassination
But remember- as late as 5-10 years ago (without FOX news and conservative talk) the ONLY story we would have heard was “He's up to something, he looks black” and none of the other evidence
I also wonder if NBC & co. are also pressuring Holder to pursue the federal case (racial motive), in which case GZ’s civil action would have to be put on the back burner again.
I wonder if you need to prove actual damages in order to get punitive damages in Florida. I’m guessing you don’t. Sock it to them!
If this becomes a trial in NYC, there is no way in hell GZ gets a penny.
The libtards in NYC all think GZ DID profile TM, DID intentionally and with malice gun down Skittles and DID make the world a worse place simply by being alive.
If this goes to trial, it will be a circus of malcontents.
If this were to become a trial in any democrap rat hole, there is no way in hell GZ gets a penny.

GZ is a private citizen who was defamed and who's right to a fair and unbiased consideration of the FACTS of the allegation were (continue to be) compromised.... The facts were knowingly and maliciously corrupted, by ‘professional’ journalistic concerns and journalists! He DOES have recourse in the law.
NBC needs to go out of business.
Zimmerman needs to devote the rest of his life to making NBC pay. I would.
The whole racial issue is gasoline looking for a match. And like gasoline, once it ignites, it is difficult to put it out.
Heck, the doctored tape might have even motivated the prosecutors to be more aggressive and go for 2nd Degree murder versus manslaughter.
NBC has some explainin’ to do.
And of course NBC turned up the heat this week with guest appearances of Al Sharptongue and Ben Crump and the Martins this morning with lame talk of the DOJ getting involved and their own civil suit.
I think as the Beasley’s would say — bring it on — we’ll just add all of that to the damages.
As I’ve posted before, I’d love to see Zimmerman bankrupt and elicit public apologies from Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the rest of the cast of characters, but in the case of NBC, I would make a non-cash settlement requiring them to produce and air during prime time a documentary laying out exactly what they and the others did to gin up sentiment against Zimmerman; and also present all of the information about TM’s background and thuggish tendencies and aspirations that was kept from the jury.
