Not a game changer at all.
I wasn't there and don't know the facts of the case any more than anyone else alive but George Zimmerman. Was he justified in his use of lethal force? We'll never really know. What I do know is this: Regardless of what really happened, justified or not, George Zimmerman is going to be convicted and sentenced to a lengthy prison term because the media turned against him to broadcast a sensational story. Folks don't want true justice, they don't want to know the truth, they want to believe Zimmerman is a racist and he murdered an innocent youth. Why? Because he's the one who lived. The masses want a show and the media is happy to oblige. If it had gone he other way and Zimmerman had died, there wouldn't have been anything to sensationalize and most of the nation would never have heard of Treyvon Martin or George Zimmerman.
Ginsue hit the nail on the head, hell there are even big time rappers "singing" about it. Innocent or not, Zimmerman has no chance.
I'm not so sure. I think the case for self-defense is fairly strong (based on what we know thus far). Either way the outcome will be interesting.
He was asked to remain where he was. UNLESS the defense can prove beyond a "REASONABLE DOUBT" his use of force was justified, he will be found guilty. However The Media and every anti gun person INCLUDING HIS father, President O has already convicted him.
FAIR Trail? highly doubt he will get one. If he's lucky someone will come forward with a home movie showing him being attacked. IF not well..........................
WARNING: TO THE MODS / ADMIN The Following does not call for any form of Violence or general Unrest. It is only a question, Remove as necessary.
On the flip side Imagine if found guilty EVERY WHITE HISPANIC ACTED the way people of color did, when the police who "assaulted" Rodney King were found Not Guilty ??
Magic 8 ball says after two hung juries, two mis-trials, this will all be settled in a civil trial 10 years from now where the lawyers will make money and headlines while everyone else has forgotten that Trayvon or George ever met each other, even once in a dark parking lot.

That's not the legal standard at all.Quote:
