    Exactly and why should we be so compelled to believe. Zimmerman 's story? And all these guys saying its emotional for blacks, why are they so sure of Zimmerman? I mean that's flat out disrespectful when they say that. what are they saying why are they so sure of martin almost beating a guy to death? that's what you have to believe to say Zimmerman has no liability.

    And the judge won't let stuff from his cell phone be admitted into evidence. That judge most be elected, not appointed. She's sure trying to help the state all the way through this.

    And you aren't good at spotting trolls. But you know how I know you're racist?:grin:

    Yea, black people have been thieving in the neighborhood. What's wrong with stereotypes? Looks like Zimmerman was right in his assumption.

    Punching someone for following you is illegal, and it cost someone their life.

    You are correct. We do not know who started the physical confrontation. Now that all the witnesses have come forth, there is only one person who can testify to this. This same person is also innocent until proven guilty. This is why this trail is a sham.

    If you think its acceptable for someone to physically assault someone, then sure, you have a case that there is a point of return.

    Nope. Approaching you with a gun will show you who is standing his ground and who is the perpetrator.

    Punching someone doesn't give the punched preson a right to the right to use deadly force. and again you say potato i say potahto we don't know who started the physical altercation. that is why the law is stupid because it doesn't fit with the burden of the prosecution. i shouldn't be able to kill someone and claim self defense especially when it is known i singled out the victim.

    So Zim should have known a few blows to the cement wasn't going to knock him unconscious and possibly kill him? Got it.

    I meant to add if you don't know something thay is what a trial is for. how can anyone say a shooting victim doesn't deserve a trial just because the evidence isn't absolute

    And several people have testified that the blows to concrete couldn't have happened like he claimed over twenty times and no stitches that is just down right laughable

    You need to withdraw from this thread. You are so overcome by emotion and bias that you are not picking up on the evidence and information that is being presented.

    You don't understand when one has the right to use deadly force.

    Educate yourself.

    TIL TM was stealing in the neighborhood. Maybe black people had been theiving, but that doesn't mean all are, that would be profiling, exactly what the defense is trying to prove against. And how do you know I am racist? BC I likened your comments to someone from Jasper? The town with a history of terrible racism? You are the one saying Obamas daughters are the same as TMa girlfriend and grouping blacks into one category.

    Useless really. GZ will be acquitted, barring a strange vote by the jurors, on murder. Manslaughter I assume is still on the table, but I do not know the laws regarding that at all. His testimony will only affirm what he has said already and I don't think he 1) needs to gain sympathy of the jurors 2) can reveal any more information that hasn't been talk about already. As far as perception for not testifying, it is a smart move because he could only e painted worse, really nothing for him to gain.
