I completely said "whether we BELIEVE he is guilty". So I'm obviously talking about what I feel are my personal views and no, that doesn't mean anything in the real world. Do you feel OJ or Casey Anthony were actually guilty? Find me a link where I said Murder 2 was an appropriate charge. I believe what I actually said was that I had no idea what it would take to get a murder 2 conviction and that I think the jury could find him guilty of a lesser charge, So, yes, I have felt that way all along. Yes, I do think he should be convicted of something. And my issue is not about guns. I have said repeatedly on here that I am not in favor of banning guns, and am instead in favor of mandatory classes that force people who want a gun to learn how to actually use them, store them, clean them, etc. Edited by dreachon, Jul 8 2013, 01:39 PM.

Dreach and myself have both indicated we don't think he will be found guilty. I'm more interested in the non-legal ethical question of guilt. |

doesn't that really come down to what happened that instigated the physical confrontation? |

Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism. | |

Do you believe that there are situations where the initial physical contact was ethically justifiable? |

Sounds like the judge allowed the evidence that TM had marijuana in his system, and some expert testified that it was enough to alter his behavior that night. Not a huge deal, but certainly doesn't help the prosecution. |

The prosecution has rested, right? (I'm not following the trial closely other than what has been said here). How long is the defense expected to present their case? |

I heard that they are expecting a verdict this week, so I'm guessing they will rest on Thursday. |

I would assume that they would have to rest on Thursday to get a Friday verdict. |

Prosecutors have said that George Zimmerman told investigators he moved Martin's arms away from his body after the gunshot, although Martin was found with his arms tucked beneath his chest. Answering a question from defense attorney Don West, Di Maio said that someone may be able to move their arms after receiving a similar gunshot. |

If GZ receives a NG verdict, will the black community riot, and if so will it be against whites or Hispanics or just parked cars and liquor stores? |
