At this stage it's unlikely that we'll ever know what happened. It's too big, too public. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable even in simple cases, and this kind of pressure just makes it worse.
Details suggesting that Zimmerman was on his back getting pounded do not, by themselves, justify the use of lethal force in self-defense. What were the events leading up to that point?
I hate to say it but some of the articles posted here are some of the more biased reports with "witnesses" adding their opinion to what they "heard". Only one witness so far saw them engaged physically and actually saw Trayvon on top of Zimmerman while Zimmerman was yelling for help which I posted above.
I agree that there are more important individual things, but you just pointed out why this is an important political event with your last sentence. If this incident does not go well, it may not go well for our country as well.Originally Posted by IRISH

Fairness leads to extinction much faster than harsh parameters.
Very true. With the amount of protesting I saw on TV yesterday there's the potential for another Rodney King type of incident. That'd be really interesting.
Ugh! Don't say that...how do we stop that again? Say beetlejuice 3 times real fast?

In another Florida case...
"A Miami judge dismissed a second-degree murder case, citing the Stand Your Ground law and ruling that 25-year-old Greyston Garcia's testimony about self-defense was credible. The Miami Herald reported that Garcia was charged after chasing down and stabbing to death a 26-year-old suspected burglar in January."
...
What media bias?
Idiot judge makes idiot judgment.
Did the state appeal the dismissal?
You took that report as fact?
The Judge took the report as fact. I took the judgment as fact. I'm not the one who made the judgment.
