That's because this was Murder One, not second degree or manslaughter.
Zimmerman planned, stalked and slayed a kid.
His 911 record shows that he was profiling weeks in advance, waiting for the right victim.
This was not a "heat of the moment" attack.
Zimmerman was looking for the right victim and he found him.
Oh that's right, they're not. Young black kids being murdered, obviously it's working as intended.
martin thought he was being followed. he was right. what about his right to SYG?

From what I've read, it looks to me more of a matter of systematically believing the testimony of white witnesses while discounting that of black witnesses. The juror said there was no discussion of race during deliberation. If everyone on the jury shared the same implicit racist assumptions, they wouldn't need (or want) to talk about it. They simply put the victim on trial and believed what the white Florida detective told them, that he thought Zimmerman was telling the truth. Gosh that was easy, wasn't it? The police don't lie, do they? The fact that the police wouldn't arrest Zimmerman for weeks only goes to show that they thought he was telling the truth.
Even after Zimmerman lied through his teeth to hide his assets to make bail.
It's in the law, the State asked for the instruction, the defense postured and claimed it would be error because 1st aggressor is inappropriate unless it was proven that defendant used or threatened force first, court didn't give instruction. The jury was not allowed to decide the case based upon the actual law. I blame the State, to a large extent, for not being more prepared to argue what was, of course, the crux of the case.
Bullshit.
Isn't it fun for you to be part of such a national movement?
That's the soul of the modern conservative right there folks.
Trayvon Martin was a thug who picked the wrong victim for a beat down.
I'm still feeling furious at the prosecution for botching the voir dire so badly, and for failing to unrelentingly object to jury instructions so riddled with omission and misdirection.
But the idea that "the law" placed Zimmerman's course of instigation, escalation, and deadly force beyond the reach of conviction is some profoundly misinformed bullshit.
Also, I imagine you look something like this:

Look Mister G/Unbrainwashed/Noicons, no one is going to believe you are different people if you keep saying the same exact shit. You need to realize that not everyone is as stupid as you are. But I guess that is just part of being really stupid.
They played their learned role as good, little suburbanites.
Juries need to learn that while their verdicts may be appealed and even overturned, they are well within their power to find a killer guilty - the fucking law be damned.
@29 - Have you noticed that it's very fond of the three syllable names? Mis-ter-G, Un-brain-washed, and now No-i-cons.
Yep, that what it comes down to for the lunatics of the far left and the far right: "the fucking law be damned." Sarah Palin, if your run for Senate fizzles out, come to Seattle. Change a few words, and the bedwetters will love ya, babe. No need for facts, logic, or law. The fucking law be damned.
Law is not about right and wrong.
Law is not about justice.
Law is about who will and who will not have power.
Whom shall you serve?
Study to show yourself worthy, and we may speak again.
When you do not know,
you cling desperately to belief.
When you no longer trust yourself,
you turn to authority.
The pursuit of control leaves you powerless.
Study, Little One, study.

so short your journey.
You are Trayvon Martin.
You are George Zimmerman.
You killed yourself.
You struggle.
Let go, Little One, or struggle.
The water flows.
The stone struggles.
The water flows.
The stone lets go.
The water flows.
Little steps, Little One, little steps.
Return to your journey.
