Zimmerman has been arrested and charged with 2nd degree murder, He once
again is being represented by competent counsel, Mark O'Mara. There's
nothing going on in the legal system that is contrary to his civil
rights. The process is in place. No one is so desperate they need you to
"defend" them.

I am just frustrated that this witch hunt will cost the Florida tax
payers millions that could have been spent on more worthy projects
(schools, roads etc) on a case that will probably fail.

The first SA looked at the evidence and said it was a loser. I think
he was right. The police report will be defense exhibit A and unless
they can find something we have not seen so far to break Zimmerman's
story, this could be dismissed at the end of the state's case for lack
of evidence.

This is pure election year politics. The only question is who it
benefits.

It won't fail. There had to be some very damning evidence to charge him
with Murder II and not manslaughter which is much easier to prove. So, I
guess you think murder cases shouldn't be tried because of the cost? So
we just let them go? How about bank robbers? Child molesters? Those
trials cost a boat load of money too.

We are going to see what evidence they have today. Unless it is a lot
more than they have announced, it is squat.
The damning evidence was the lynch mob that Sharpton assembled.

Just what lynch mob is that? And actually, Sharpton his self said last
night that no one can be as upset about this as Martin's parents, and
they are handling this with calm and said that the public should as
well.

How would you lefties feel if it was a black guy shooting an unarmed
teenager (like Carl Rowan did) and it was a white rally outside the
police station demanding an arrest? You would call them KKK skinheads

I asked, after you stated that this is a waste of taxpayer's money,
where should we draw the line? Should we not take murderers to trial,
just let them go because of the cost? What about rapists? Robbers? Those
trials also cost money.

Unless they have uncovered something new, they still do not have a
case. This is politics, pure and simple.
You really have to view this in light of the current FLORIDA law, not
what might happen in Maryland, Massachusetts or California.
All Zimmernan has to establish is that he was in fear of great bodily
harm. He had a "right to be there" so there is no question about the
legality of how he got into the situation.

I really think the SP plans to lose this case, just for ammunition to
attack the law.

Maybe they should just propose SYG as a constitutional amendment and
let the voters decide.
They did it with pregnant pigs and gill nets so it would not be the
dumbest thing that was proposed tor amendment status.

It seems pretty clear that Zimmerman was following Martin as the latter
walked to the house in the subdivision where his dad was staying, and
that Zimmerman confronted Martin, and that Zimmerman apparently went
back to his car where his gun was stashed, and that Zimmerman was told
by the police dispatcher to remain in his car and that he didn't. I'm
not that familiar with florida's insane stand your ground statute, but
it seems to me that Zimmerman instigated a confrontation. From the
beginning, Martin was under no obligation to respond to Zimmerman's
apparent interrogation. If I were walking through a neighborhood and
some moron adult starting questioning me, I'd think the guy was a nut
case and I'd start walking faster, figuring the guy was trying to start
a fight or worse.

That stand your ground bull**** law needs to be modified.
