An Open Question....

Would the Zimmerman murder trial matter nationally in the media if the victim was any race other than black, and the accused was any race other than "white Hispanic

I'm a little in the dark; were there any witnesses, other than Zimmerman? If not, they won't have an unbiased trial.

There is a pun opportunity, somewhere. ;-)

Proof beyond a reasonable doubt in the case of a 2nd degree or 3rd degree murder charge is HARDER to do than one imagines. There were witnesses, but they were either not in clear view, audio only, or otherwise not fully paying attention.

The pressures on the participants in this trial are off of the scale, I am sure.

What if Bernard Goetz had been black & his assailants white?

I'm scared if Zimmerman goes free, every wannabe will gun up and start shooting young males who are out walking around after dark.

My personal fears are no reason to convict a man.

But people are so broken that this will happen. I bet you a very nice lunch it will.

Tap, tap, tap... I just wanted to see if this still worked.

[itzwicks]

Yup... still works, pal! ;-)
