Lawful Metal Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Yeah. Not unexpected. Prosecution (intentionally?) botched things pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Wasn't an intentional botch, but the exact same botch that happened in the Casey Anthony case. That is, the media got so into everything that it started a national shitstorm around it and the Prosicutors Office rushed taking the case to trial before they had all their ducks in a row, and the Defense Attorneys were good enough that they proved reasonable doubt. Long story short, Flordia needs some competent DA's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offspring515 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Good lord the amount of fucktardery already going within my Facebook friends list makes me want to avoid social media until this all blows over. Not since Sandy Hook have I so hated so many people I usually like. People are celebrating this like their favorite team won the Superbowl.

jaedmc Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Of course he got Not Guilty. If he they made him guilty then it'd be all wrapped up. Gotta get the most out of this distraction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 This was really nothing like the Casey Anthony trial. That case should have been a slam dunk for the prosecution, and they blew it. The particulars of the Zimmerman case were always going to make it difficult to get a jury past the point of reasonable doubt. The prosecution definitely could have done some things better here, but this was an uphill fight for them from the jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 As soon as I heard that they were asking for clarification on manslaughter, I knew it was a wrap. Zimmerman better go underground and not as so much look at a black person for the rest of his life. I wouldn't be surprised if something bad happens to him before the year is over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newb82 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Good lord the amount of fucktardery already going within my Facebook friends list makes me want to avoid social media until this all blows over. Not since Sandy Hook have I so hated so many people I usually like. People are celebrating this like their favorite team won the Superbowl. Have already had to unfriend one high school buddy because he intentionally posted something incindiary, then deleted any comments (including mine) that didn't agree with him 100%. If you can't discuss sensitive issues like a rational adult, then I don't want to see your bullshit. Especially when I said "I think Zimmerman picked a fight, got his ass kicked and blew the kid away, but the prosecution was terrible and the jury did what they had to do" and not the "OMG I guess you can now legally murder black kids" stuff that's all over twitter right now. Hopefully we can keep this thread civil and the Powers that Be won't be as gunshy to let us talk about political events like they have been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Ape Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Stuff like this is why I sometimes wish I still believed in God. At least then, I could be comfortable in knowing George Zimmerman would one day face final, absolute judgement. The fact that people are celebrating an unarmed black teenager getting stalked and murdered makes me weep for the future of society. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 The fact that people are celebrating an unarmed black teenager getting stalked and murdered makes me weep for the future of society.

Apparently gun pussies have special rights.I'm not going to get into a big thing about this, because heaven knows there's enough of that going on on the Internet right now, and I understand this line of thought, but in respect to the law, it is infinitely more complicated than that. Lots of little nooks and crannies for reasonable doubt to lurk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zac_Fu Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 As soon as I heard that they were asking for clarification on manslaughter, I knew it was a wrap. Zimmerman better go underground and not as so much look at a black person for the rest of his life. I wouldn't be surprised if something bad happens to him before the year is over. There's still 18 days left in July, what's the over/under on him making it THAT long? I noticed three "interesting" things I checked on the news crawl following the verdict: He's free to leave Florida (I'm suspecting he was strongly advised to. I don't think it'll help.) He's been strongly advised not to persue his career in Law Enforcement. (Gee, ya think?! Well, unless he follows 1, moves to Cali, and joins the LAPD) He's been advised to strongly monitor where his money comes from, or words to that effect. (I'm guessing that's their way of saying don't write a book? But then again they could've just said don't try to capitalize on notoriety. This one sounds the most suspect.)

EVA Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 The real dudes who need to watch out are Zimmerman's lawyers. At least Zimmerman has managed ot keep his mouth shut throughout this thing and will slink off into the dark as soon as possible. These dudes are going to be taking victory laps and just generally being hateable in the public eye for a long time to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I don't understand how the teen was not standing his ground. It seems like in the eyes of the law, that owning a gun gives you special rights. I'm not trying to be cute, I am disgusted with the world right now. I have watched as the drug war in this country destroys families. People who get trumped up charges of possession. Meanwhile this piece of garbage stalks and murders a teen who defended himself. I'm so upset, I'm shaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was getting into trouble for trying to look more poor than he is after all the donations came into his website. Something about him telling his wife to use that money to pay off her credit card bills instead of using it on his defense team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
