Trayvon Martin

[habsheaven]

go figure if you give the police and investigators time to do their job, they will do their job. Good thing no one rallied thousands of race baiters and no one put out bounties and no one tried to claim racism where their wasn't any. that would have been embarrassing.

To be fair, the local sheriff stated that there were no grounds to arrest Zimmerman weeks ago. That is when the uproar began. This shooting happened on Feb 26, we did not get wind of it until the sheriff made his statements (I believe a few weeks later).

The uproar didn't begin until the Martin's lawyer told Reuters in a story released on March 7 that Zimmerman was white. From that point on, the media ran with it.

Prosecutors lay charges based on FACTS. There are obviously FACTS that they have that the public doesn't. I was very impressed by Angela Corey's press conference. I think justice is in good hands whichever way it turns out.

Good God did you see this woman when the presser started??? She could hardly contain her joy! There is NOTHING heartwarming or happy about anything in this case. It was disgusting

The media creates these stories for profit, pure and simple. Tons of people died since this case, many in more horrendous ways. The media pushes out cases like this because it will drive ratings and fill needed content for at least 1 year.

The disgusting part is that there are a lot of people (to include Martin) that deserve scrutiny and full prosecutor/lawyer/media attention, but don't because they don't fit into a racism (Martin/Zimmerman Case, Rodney King, Duke LaCrosee) or Celebrity (OJ, Lindsey Lohan) mold.

The scariest part is I feel that this 2nd degree murder charge is politically motivated. 2nd degree murder will be TOUGH to prove. Manslaughter would have been tough enough. Now you have to prove that Zimmerman killed Martin intentionally. I think in 15 minutes I personally could provide responsible doubt in the mind of one juror. Then the riots/racial attacks will begin when Zimmerman is found innocent. Get ready for chaos.

I did notice that, and mentioned it to my wife. However as the press conference went on I noticed that she was expressing similar joy as she talked about the role of the prosecution and justice in general.

The scary part is that you are now judging the prosecutor without knowing what she knows.

Really? That scares you? Maybe I should send out a Twitter message with her address and really turn up the heat. :)

No, it doesn't really scare me. It's typical behaviour for most of the posters on here. I am used to it by now. :)

True!

I did state that I "felt" it was politically motivated. I'm not certain. Unlike all the "Zimmerman needs to be dead" chanters out there, I'm making my opinion known based on facts, not emotion.

I really think it is going to be tough to get a 2nd degree murder charge when two eye witnesses (husband and wife) called 9-11 and stated that Martin was on top of Zimmerman beating him in a post interview. That is Zimmerman screaming like a girl for 60 seconds. That is responsible doubt for 2nd degree murder.

If this wasn't a high profile case, Zimermann would be charged with manslaughter. That's just my opinion.

were you scared by all the people judging zimmerman when facts weren't known?
