Does it make some of the people who are commenting about the Zimmerman trial look uninformed when?
even Liberal lawyers who are on CNN and MSNBC say the evidence does not show that Zimmerman committed any crime?
Florida self defense Hypothetically, a thief who boards a boat to steal equipment can be legally killed by the owner, who argues self-defense, even if there is no physical attack or threat by the intruder. Previously, the use of force would have to have been proportionate to the threat.

The evidence does not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Zimmerman committed the crime with which he has been charged.
Many liberals get caught up in "white guilt", thinking it makes them look learned and tolerant when they immediately assume the claims of a white (or, in this case, "white Hispanic") are false.

Sadly, our Justice System has been perverted by what many Americans view as a necessity for the appeasement of certain groups in our society. Justice is held hostage with threats of violence against innocent citizens.
Zimmerman's guilt or innocence is irrelevant in the case.
He has already been convicted in the political court of appeasement.
It is politically expedient for everyone involved, except Zimmerman, that he be found guilty.
We saw the same type of charade in the O.J. Simpson trial.
The Rodney King verdict taught our Justice System a very important lesson in the appeasement of minorities.
So, whether Zimmerman is innocent or guilty is of little importance in the necessity for his conviction on some charge or other, even though the State has so miserably failed to prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt.

Zimmerman shot someone, and he shot someone without the person carrying any weapons.

You understand that since bigZim is claiming self defense, the burden of proof is on him, not the prosecution.

He clearly shot the guy. So I guess if you decide to punch me, I am allowed to shoot you? No that's not how things work.

Just because you kill someone doesn't mean its murder. Libs have poor understanding of laws
