Zimmerman not guilty

[reply][reply][reply][reply][reply][reply][reply]I sincerely hope that the next time Zimmerman kills somebody…the jury isn’t so clueless.

Don’t blame the jury. Both sides had a hand in picking it. Blame the prosecution for not convincing them, if anything.[/reply]
Not completely true. the prosecution got over ruled by the judge when they tried to replace at least two prospective members.

The judge overrules anything that he thinks is BS. That’s how it works in court. That doesn’t mean that both sides didn’t have an equally fair chance of picking the jury.[/reply]
I’m pretty sure the judge ruling on what she thinks is BS (with no apparent reason for calling bullshit) is pretty much the definition of not having an equally fair chance.

The purpose of the judge is to decide what is fair and act on it. You can’t say that a judge is not being fair because the judge defines what is fair. If you are saying that the legal system is corrupt and that the judge was guilty of fraud then I think you should put on a tin hat and join the rest of the nut cases. Either way, you still can’t blame the jury. You’re saying that we should blame the judge now? Should we blame society next for making the judge who he is? Where does it end?[/reply]
it was a she. and did she deny any of the defense’s jury requests? not to my knowledge. I’m just saying an explanation would be nice as to why she wouldn’t let the prosecution dismiss potential jurors

If you have two kids and they come up and one asks to watch Elmo and you say yes then the other comes up and asks to watch porn an you say no, do you have to give a reason for your response? Were you acting unfairly? Should you deny the other child being able to watch Elmo since you denied the other from watching porn? This is essentially the type of argument you are making. It’s ridiculous. If you have reason to believe that the judge was not fair by not throwing out the jurors then make your point. Don’t say it wasn’t fair because she didn’t also overrule some of the defenses objections and didn’t give an explanation. You are effectively pulling out the race card… which means just saying it wasn’t fair because it doesn’t suit your fancy.[/reply]
So you think the judge is a parent figure and we are all children? that’s bullshit we are adults and should be treated as such.

With regards to my post that started this exchange I think you’re both getting a little off-track. My point is, what’s to stop Zimmerman or anyone else from repeating this incident when the precedent has been set that in Florida…you can harass and question and unarmed person…shoot them dead and not have to answer for it. Where’s Martin’s right to ‘stand his ground’?

This was my point when I posted “will the person who kills zimmerman get away with it since they are scared for their life cause he’s already killed once.” that got atom all uppity.

With regards to the judge…she didn’t allow evidence of Zimmerman’s assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest…nor did she allow evidence of Zimmerman’s fiance’s charge of domestic violence and against Zimmerman which was settled by a restraining order.

I understand that info on surface may be irrelevant to this specific case. but it’s completely relevant when establishing character and behavior patterns which may sway probability and motivation and such. I understand there is a petition circulating to get the feds involved.

grmpysmrf totally agree.

Ah, you Yanks and your guns!

It’d be so much nicer if they just had slingshots and could be like Bart Simpson and Dennis the Menace or whatever.

This sort of shit happens all the time. It’s often something that gets looked back on and laughed about at best, or has serious assault charges at worst.

Throw a gun in the mix and this is what happens. I remember all the dumb shit my mates and I did back in the day, the amount of times we were chased and confronted. We did nothing serious, but I shudder to think at the consequences of throwing a gun in the mix.

Grumpy, I can’t be bothered to reply to the extent I usually would to your nonsense that you’ve posted in response to my posts. Let me just point out that you seem to have a very difficult time understanding the meaning of words and/or twist what people are saying.

You need therapy. Let’s see how much you enjoy your own medicine, ya hippie faggot buttfucker faggity-fag-fag. No substance just insults.

Trevon is a creepy nigger.**

THIS is very right. the problem with this case’s end is that it sets a precedent that can ONLY be dangerous. while Zim may not have been TECHNICALLY breaking a law, (and thus not TECHNICALLY guilty) what he did was moronic, cruel, hateful, and now the set standard for how actions can be lived out in Florida. the law needs to be abolished.

I had a discussion about this with a family member, and they were saying they couldn’t use Zimmerman’s past offenses against him in court, and that goes for anybody. still, didn’t know that about his history. not surprising.

He got off based on a technicality. He followed the kid when advised not to, but did so anyway. The rest is mostly heresay, and that’s what saved him from a manslaughter charge. No one can really “prove” who started it and attacked who first, even though he followed the kid, with a gun, when all he had to do was go home. He called the cops already. He wanted to be a douchebag hero, and ends up killing a kid. But because of how ambiguous the whole thing was, no one can really prove anything.

I just can’t see anyone thinking “Zimmerman got away with it so I can too” and I can’t see the court system being lenient toward similar cases. Technically, I guess it could go that way, but I just don’t see it happening.

I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

Shouldn’t someone familiar with mental health issues and rehabilitation/therapy be the person you should take advice from when they say to get help?
Like if Jeffery Dahmer said you need to see a therapist, you’d know you were in the abyss. Or maybe you’re taking internet bullshit too seriously again aka as usual? Lighten up, you nutcase.

I remember reading this when it broke a while back. he asked them to turn down their music at a 7-11 and they started cursing at him so he pulled a gun and shot them up…
wonder if they can get that same jury for this trial. I don’t think those women have any idea what they’ve done to this country (I would hide my identity too, if I had ruled that way.) apparently oakland has started the beginnings of a riot. breaking windows and such, but then again this is from breitbart.com so it doesn’t hold a lot of stock.

I’m sorry, Mr. Smurf. I don’t give a shit or take the internet nearly as seriously as you do. I just enjoy watching you flail and take the bait. I won’t be deleting my account. Sorry, sunshine.

It’s a power trip on my part, admittedly. I can snap my fingers and make you bark. It’s funny but honestly does get old quick due to you being so one dimensional.

Oookay…

Hey, grumpybitch. Get mad, take the internet too seriously, and respond to every post I make regardless of whether or not they’re even directed towards you or about you.

you know nothing of this case I see.
I can’t believe you would even joke about something like this.
Late,

The fuck says I’m joking??

I’m as serious as they come. And yes I have been following the case.

And I applaud the outcome - despite the backlash I envisage I will receive here.
