I was pre-law in college, but must admit that I don't know Florida-specific criminal law or what the "stand your ground" laws implications are here. However, much of the trial will probably be predicated on Zimmerman's decisions and behavior before and after the murder... which I don't know much about, either. My guess is that the prosecution will paint Zimmerman as an untruthful, bigoted murderer and the defense will try to paint Martin as a misguided youth with a history of substance use that had attempted to harm Zimmerman. At the end of the day, usually the prosecution is able to make a pretty compelling argument in cases like this so my guess is Zimmerman will definitely serve some time. If I had time I'd read more about it, but that's just my two cents from a really high level. |

I don't remember what he was charged with but I do seem to remember that I thought it was more likely he'd be convicted of a lesser charge. Not sure whether that would be jail time or not, but I do think he'll be convicted of something. |

If I remember right, he's charged with second degree murder, not sure what the lessers include. |

If it's in Florida and California, the O.J. Simpson and Casey Anthony trials have already established that murder is legal....so it doesn't matter if he is guilty or not, he walks. |

If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners." - Berkeley Breathed Meat is Murder. Sweet, delicious murder. | |

It's interesting that Obama's die-hard base thought OJ was innocent. |

lol, anyone seen Zimmerman lately? Hiding out and not being able to go anywhere has taken it's toll on him. For his sake, hopefully the extra weight bodes him well in prison against inmates that prey on child murderers. Posted Image Posted Image |

The man has been convicted of nothing but yet is called a "child murderer"?? We go out of our way to give terrorists a fair trial yet, in some people's minds, this guy is guilty no matter what because a gun was involved? Truly sad... |

On the contrary, when the the prosecution reads off Trayvon's weight, there will be a huge discrepancy between the two. Even though Zimmerman didn't weigh that much, that's who the jury sees. I'm not sure it will help. |

Not that random I was going to comment on that as well... I wouldn't consider him a child murderer even if he is convicted, maybe a juvenile murderer... and even at the many 17 year old kids are tried as adults... "child murderer" I guess we know who Jaz is rooting for lol |

My bad. I actually missed the "child murderer" comment by Jaz. Just thought that came out of nowhere. |
