So, DRX we have a "witness" who "saw Martin in a power position" who exited the scene when he saw things going badly for Zimmerman?   Yet Zimmerman still managed to shoot Martin?  Sounds a little fishy to me.   Very fishy in fact.  Zimmerman was guilty of killing Martin.  Simple as that.  If Zimmerman wasn't protected by the law, he'd be in jail!

"If Zimmerman wasn't protected by the law, he'd be in jail!" ....... you're exactly correct there HB, know it or not, duhhh ....... That's  exactly what the law is there for.....to protect the innocent & punish the guilty!   




Mr. Good, according to the testimony, when he saw Zimmerman taking a severe beating, went inside to phone 911 (911 is emergency 000 in the States) to get the police there, but assume what your personal ideology suggests to you if it so pleases your fantasy.

BTW, I agree Zimmerman killed Martin, but as you know there is a difference between Killing & Murder & or Manslaughter.

Zimmerman was found not guilty of Murder & Manslaughter in their court of law by a jury, based on the law & the testimony presented to that jury.

Everybody familiar with the trial knows Zimmerman Killed Martin ............... in self-defense, which is perfectly legal there.

It's called justifiable homicide I think.

What was said will never be known unless you have a way to wake the dead.

It wasn't important as to the finding of fact demanded by the Court/Florida Legal System.

For a supposed ground and pound with mixed martial arts tactics, never mind the fact that the witness is speculating, Zimmerman looks pretty lightly injured.

How lightly injured or not Zimmerman was injured is a matter that the jurors, who were charged with the law by the judge, gave the weight it deserved (required by the law the judge told them they needed to deliberate upon).

The testimony & evidence didn't have to convince anyone but the jurors, who found him not guilty.

Anything else is speculation.

The jury system is f**ked. It comprises of 12 idiots who can't get out of jury duty.

Actually it is quite easy to get out of serving on a Jury, just commit a Felony and you are disqualified for life!

If you prefer to remain a more or less honest citizen you can throw the summons away, they send so many they work with the people that show up and don't bother the ones who don't!

If you do show up and don't want to serve never give either Lawyer a strait answer, "I can't say" "I don't know". "It depends", I don't understand the question".

Personally I have been on three Juries, a drug possession, an armed robbery and a child rape case. Every time they took a Plea Deal rather then take their chances on us!

Most of the people I have served with find the cases interesting but no one wants to be called too often. Every few years is generally fine.
