Similar but different from the O.J. Simpson trial. That one had



external forces applying influence but it wasn't necessarily racial or



political.







I'm not really sure WHAT that was!











OJ's lawyers totally overwhelmed the state's prosecutors, and the facts



that the defense was able to show that some evidence was mishandled,



that at least one of the cops intimately involved in the case was an



avowed racist and engaged in shenanigans with some of the evidence and



then "took the fifth" about it, and a number of other factors resulted



in a not guilty verdict.







If Zimmerman walks, it won't be because he stalked a young man,



instigated a fight and, when it wasn't going his way, whipped out his



pistol and shot and killed the young man. It'll be because the trial



took place in a gun-happy state.



"But, Harry. you're pronounced Zimmerman guilty from the word 'go'. No need for a trial."





My opinion about the Zimmerman case matters no more than yours, Tim. I

don't see the Martin kid's family getting justice for the murder of

their son.

Of course it does, Harry. I don't have an opinion. I'm letting the courts decide and that's it. Why can't everybody else?
