i fully expect that if they arrested GZ and put him on trial, he'd walk.

These people let that lady what killed her little girl free.

Where yo hood at? Represent yo hood. Lets make a mockery of the house and represent my district with multiple murders this week.

Such a shame what this country has become. That ass clown should be removed from office immediately.

that's true. and with the law as currently written, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see a not guilty verdict. now, what they would need to do is allow a finding of guilt to a lesser charge-in this case manslaughter. for that i can see a possible guilty verdict. but if they go for 2nd, i don't think it'll happen based on the law on the books, purported shoddy investigating and lack of witnesses.

and yes, absolutely they should wait and no one should jump the gun and have a witch hunt-the duke rape case taught many people that. but right now i can easily say that the one wouldn't be dead were it not for the irresponsible actions of the other. whether that makes him guilty of murder i don't know.

The most they could charge him with is voluntary manslaughter. Good luck with a conviction on that one.

yep. people want to know why he hasn't been arrested yet. he may never be.

If they had arrested Zimmerman, even on manslaughter, even upon unlawful discharge of a weapon, then at least all the witnessess, the cops, the tapes of the 911 calls, etc. could have a court-ordered slap of silence on it. They could have released Zimmerman on his own recognizance, not bail, depending upon what the judge that night chose, and the prosecutor could always drop charges and choose not to prosecute after an investigation.

The horror is that the family had to go to their congresswoman to get any investigation whatsoever of this at all in the first place, weeks after it happened.

A kid is dead in public, at the confessed hand of another citizen, with that phone call to the police, and zero investigation more than the cops at the scene that night? That's crazy.

And it turns out some cops at the scene wanted him charged.

Zimmerman's camp has to be thrilled it's playing out this way in the media, as it's contaminating jury member after jury member, even if moved to other venues in Florida.
