Juries

You know veggie....I like reading what you have to say. You and I look at some things the same way and some differently but I must say with this Trayon fiasco you have gone off the the deep end.

I would suggest stepping back for a while and letting the heat die down as this case was not about race. It was about the rule of law. You are bordering on the Alex area and I don't believe that is you.

I will say this. The state did a poor job in handling the case from the beginning including the prosecution. Yes technically speaking there were a few loopholes that could have won zimmerman a conviction. Legal loopholes aside everyone knows that zimmerman murdered that boy. Although it may or may not be racially motivated that is neither her nor there. Zimmerman, the state of florida and the jury all have Trayvon Martin's blood on their hands. I am going to step off for a minute because I'm at my shop and I have a lot of work on my desk.

I don't get that. Everyone said there wasn't enough evidence to convict yet the state prosecuted anyway and by all accounts (even liberal analyst agree) did a valiant effort to prove wrong-doing were the evidence didn't support it.

You cannot call out the jury on this one. They did what they were charged to do.
Blame the state and Zimmerman all you want but not the jury.

This. Stop blaming everyone and blame those who are to blame.

Right Trayvon is guilty as charged for walking down the street while black on a friday night and is worthy of death. That's what most of you want to so so I will say it for you.

No, what most of us want to say is that Zimmerman is not guilty (legally) because there was no evidence to prove his claims of self-defence were false. And (morally) because the evidence that was presented matches his version of events.

Where is your evidence? What do you base your claims on? You have nothing, just as the prosecution had nothing. All you have is a black teenager was shot and killed; and you immediately claim racism and refuse to look at the evidence.

So you are going to disregard the evidence as well as zimmerman's contridictory statements. All you see is a dead black teenager and so oh well he had to do something to deserve it.

What evidence? What contradictory statements? You already made this claim and refused to answer. Shall I listen for the crickets again?

Seriously? You've lost any credibility whatsoever. No one said that. Why do you need to lie about what is right in front of us? Try again and actually respond to what's said, not the hatred coursing through your veins.

The only one disregarding evidence, or a lack thereof, is you, because you hate white people.
