More importantly, what's the likelihood Zimmerman ever gets a normal life again?

That's probably true, but I'm quite sure the media would not miss a chance to "update" the nation on an acquittal.. or a conviction.

Facts that are not in dispute:

1) George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin.
2) Trayvon Martin tried to escape.
3) George Zimmerman got out of his car and pursued Trayvon Martin on foot.
4) George Zimmerman was told by the police that his assistance was not required.

Did George Zimmerman fear for his life? I'm certain he did. Will he be acquitted on the grounds that it was self defense? He most certainly will.

The fact remains that George Zimmerman, and only George Zimmerman, placed George Zimmerman in that position. He wasn't walking down the street minding his own business with some young black thug jumped out and assaulted him for no reason.

It's not okay just because it's south of the Mason-Dixon line.

More like: Guilty regardless of the outcome of his trial.

And on an eerie note, I actually had a post of mine on the Defense website read in court and submitted as evidence during the gag order hearing in October. I talked a bit with George Zimmerman's brother about it after.

Witness Rachel Jeantel — who was on the phone with Trayvon Martin moments before he was killed — was back on the stand on Thursday, again facing a grilling from George Zimmerman‘s defense attorney Don West. Alluding to yesterday’s testimony, West asked about Martin characterizing Zimmerman as a “creepy-ass cracker” — which Jeantel felt was not a racist remark.

West questioned Jeantel about why she felt the shooting was racial. Jeantel pointed to Martin’s description of “the person that was watching him and following him.” West repeated, “Describing the person is what made you think it was racial?” Jeantel agreed.

To that point, West recalled Jeantel’s previous testimony — during which she said Martin described Zimmerman as a “creepy-ass cracker.”

“So it was racial, but it was because Trayvon Martin put race in this,” West pressed. “You don’t think that’s a racial comment?”

Jeantel replied simply, “No.”

West repeated the question, receiving the same answer. He then went on to press her on why she didn’t include that description in the letter to Martin’s mother. After a few minutes of back-and-forth, West contended she didn’t tell Martin’s because she knew the remark was “offensive.” Jeantel said it was being “respectful.”

“You don’t think calling someone a creepy-ass cracker is offensive?” West asked.

“No,” Jeantel replied.
At that point, West continued to press the point, questioning whether she felt it would bother Martin’s mother to know the remark. Jeantel dismissed the comment as unimportant.

Facism is not a school of thought, it is a racial slur.

A teenage friend of Trayvon Martin was forced to admit today in the George Zimmerman murder trial that she did not write a letter that was sent to Martin’s mother describing what she allegedly heard on a phone call with Martin moments before he was shot.

In a painfully embarassing moment, Rachel Jeantel was asked to read the letter out loud in court.

“Are you able to read that at all?” defense attorney Don West asked.

Jeantel, head bowed, eyes averted whispered into the court microphone, “Some but not all. I don’t read cursive.”

It sent a hush through the packed courtroom.

Zimmerman is going to jail. That's a foregone conclusion ...

If Zimmerman goes to jail on 2nd degree murder, there is effectively no right to self defense in this country.

Facism is not a school of thought, it is a racial slur.

Ummm, didn't one of the Illinois Democrats introduce a bill to committee that would make all existing and future passage of "castle laws" illegal?

Maybe. Dude shouldn't have been following the other dude.

I dunno really.
