And you must be ok with that. Zimmerman had to spend countless $ (that he didn't have) for a defense on something that shouldn't have gone to trial, and wasted an insane amount of tax $.
Good comparison bro Zimmerman was a clear cut self defense case. A case with an affirmative defense. Unlike any of the others you mention. Casey Anthony prosecuting attorneys overcharged her OJ is a terrible example of the justice system
There is no co-defendant in that robbery. It was decided that Johnson wouldn't be charged days ago. Obviously you can't try Brown....so that case is pretty much done.

Well it sure did look like self defense from 16 year old kid with skittles in his hands, but the guy was found not guilty, case closed. Casey looked guilty found not guilty, OJ as well. Same thing should happen with this guy in my opinion, just because he's a police officer it should be different?
Once he's acquitted/not guilty/case dismissed, dig this thread back up. You heard it here first. Not guilty of criminal charges. Of course momma sees stacks of gold and will try to milk it for every $ she can get. Civil trial may be different.
Do you even self defense bro? Casey A and OJ didn't have an affirmative defense ("I did it, but...."b defense). Different type of case. Zimmerman is very similar. Guy w gun gets attacked, guy uses gun. It was an embarrassment as an American to see Zimmerman go in trial for defending himself. I will be again embarrassed if this officer goes on trial (until a fact comes out to show a criminal act).
Also the Brown autopsy did not say that Brown was shot execution style in the head. Rather the injury is consistent with Brown charging at the officer OR the officer shooting him in the head from above him. Brown was NOT shot in the back.
You really don't think momma is gonna try to cash in, just like Thugvon's momma did? Get real..... These folks never let a crisis go to waste.
The surrounding hoopla with the case is disgusting. The whole thing disgusts me. Black on black crime goes largely unnoticed. In lots of US cities gunshots are white noise in the background. But let a thug get stupid with the police and get shot, and the ferals burn the city down. We are going backwards in this country.
Just bc they were found not guilty doesn't mean that they shouldn't have been on the trail in the first place. You're basically saying that George Zimmerman wasted his time n money, well same goes for OJ n Casey, granted they were totally different cases.
