In the interest of social stability post-trial, it is important for
*everyone* to realize just how flimsy the murder evidence was.
Otherwise it will be viewed as just another lynching when Zimmerman is
acquited. The prosecution would have had much better chances with a
manslaughter charge in my opinion.

------------------------------------------

The lead investigator recommended a charge of manslaughter instead of
2nd degree murder. Technically the jury is not supposed to know that
and it can't be allowed as evidence in the trial.

Flipped MSNBC on briefly just as the Rev. Al's show was coming on.
"Breaking News" on his show's banner. What was the "breaking news"?
Zimmerman used the term "those guys" on more that one occasion
during the series of police interviews. As usual, the Rev.
automatically jumps to the race angle.

Zimmerman never referred to any specific race in all the interviews
I've heard or read so far. I took the "those guys" term as
referencing the group of people he claims have conducted burglaries
and/or home invasions in the area in the past.

The Rev. Al is capable of causing social unrest .... and *will*.

I heard that, too, and I assumed Zimmerman meant blacks by his "those
guys" comment. I still have not heard evidence as to why Zimmerman was
chasing down Martin. If Martin actually punched Zimmerman, perhaps
Martin was simply standing his ground after being stalked by a white guy
brandishing a firearm, and Zimmerman said to himself, "Screw this," and
shot the kid.

I was talking with my daughtes, at dinner this evening, about the Martin/Zimmerman trail and
one of my daughters said that they were both going under self defense. I responded that if
that is your position then no charges should have been filed.

Isn't it wonderful that we have such knowledgeable fellows in rec.boats
who went to law school, passed the bar exam, and have practiced criminal
law for so long, they can interpret the laws and we can feel assured
they know whereof they speak. :)

---------------------------------------

Who knows? I am not taking sides and don't have a clue if he's
telling the truth. I find the trial fascinating though.

But I find it interesting that you also automatically assume Zimmerman
was referring to blacks with his "those guys" comment. Why?
In all the interviews and written statements, he talks about break
ins/home invasions and never (to my knowledge) refers to blacks,
whites, Latinos, Asians or any specific race as being responsible.
He refers to them as "burglars". So, when he says "those guys", I
take it as being "those guys" that are committing the burglaries.

Funny how stereotypes are automatically assigned.

And sorry, but I don't think "Rev." Albert contributes anything to
social harmony or stability. To the contrary, he fuels hate and
distrust. It's what he does for a living.

------------------------------------------

One thing that came out today in the recorded police interviews is
that Zimmerman has a desire to be a cop.
He claims to have an Associate's in Criminal Justice and is pursuing a
Bachelor's degree in same.

I had a hunch that this is what contributed to his creation of the
"Crime Watch" thing. It may also point to an underlying desire to
involve himself in events or possibly *imagine* events to be more than
what they are. I am not sure it's a racial thing. If he has a
vigilante mentality, it would likely apply to everyone he suspects as
being a "bad guy". With that in mind, I am not so sure the jury will
acquit. Tough call.
