    I was right. And this is a little different since it's a criminal case with a high level of proof required.

    Gotcha. We should only rush to judgement when legal rules do not discourage us from doing so. things like the scientific method, and random anecdotes are fair game though.

    Some of these idiot vigilante types are seriously dangerous. Makes me think that the Keene Act may be a good idea.

    As someone who lives in Sanford I can tell you that the police here are absolute jokes. Don't get me wrong. I respect officers and their very difficult jobs, but I have seen enough from Sanford police to be able to tell you that a lot of them have no clue.


    Mary Cutcher and her roommate said they heard Trayvon pleading. Then they heard a gunshot. They rushed outside and saw Mr. Zimmerman standing over the teenager. Ms. Cutcher said she did not think it was self-defense and added that the police took only a brief statement, despite her efforts to go into detail.

    In a statement Thursday, the police said her statement to them matched Mr. Zimmerman’s.

    wow, real sanctity of life here. immune from murder if you have a reasonable fear of injury.

    I suppose it's better than allowing people to shoot others over material things.

    wack.

    Of course I didn't threaten to murder you, it would be self defense.

    Funny how when you are the subject, you are instantly are upset by the mere thought. However, when it actually happened to the black, you just want more facts and are seemingly okay the guy is not incarcerated while they investigate.

    Why is that Texxx? Help us understand.

    you cannot be serious.

    you're just trying to troll

    not sure if you were just trying to be funny, but at best it was an unfunny joke, at worst it displays the hate in your heart

    So how about those new informations bigtexxx? TWO shots were fired with a pause inbetween the shots. I'm sure that Martin was dangerous after he was shot the first time right?

    You cannot ignore the evidence this time.

    Need to hear the other side of the argument from Zimmerman's lawyers. 2 shots alone isn't sufficient

    Again -- we're only hearing one side, and of course there is the potential for less than 100% objectivity, given they represent Martin's family

    You are unbelievable, you can clearly hear 2 gunshots in the 911 call how the **** is that "hearing from one side" it's EVIDENCE.

    http://articles.orlandosentinel.com...ll-20120316_1_deadly-shooting-dispatcher-shot

    This is black and white now. There is no "other side" to this, 2 gun shots. Pause in between. Another phone call says the guy wearing the WHITE T-shirt is on top. Martin was wearing a grey hoody.

    Your bias is still showing. I listened to the tapes, and am not convinced that we know anything additional to proving or disproving Zimmerman's claim of self-defense.

    It's not clear. We need to know what happened between the confrontation and the shot.

    hardly. Krosfyah, nor any of us, know what happened between the confrontation and the shot. That's what matters.

    Why is that?

    #1 This could have all been avoided if Zimmerman never pursued Martin, this led to the confrontation
    #2 The call has somebody saying that a guy with the white T-shirt is on top, that proves that Zimmerman is already physically overpowering Martin
    #3 Shot fired once, pause, cries for help, shot fired again. If it was self defense ONE shot was all it needed in the most desperate times

    It's not bias bigtexxx, it's fact. Looking forward to seeing Zimmerman get arrested. You sir have lost and now you're really choosing to not believe facts put in front of you. There are times where people should bow out and concede, this is the time for you to do that. At the very least people will just think that you are r****ded and let this slip after everything dies down.

    Yes we do.

    We know one guy was armed.
    We know one guy was not armed.
    We know the armed guy was told not to pursue.
    We know he pursued.
    We know he confronted.
    We know the unarmed guy was shot dead,
    We know the armed guy admitted to it.
    We know we have no eye witnesses.

    I can conclude that it is perfectly okay to instigate a confrontation, shoot somebody and I don't go to jail.

    So where do you live Bigtexxx?

    Those facts are obviously biased in favor of the black. You didn't mention that the black was wearing a hoodie in the dark.
