whether you believe that jury or not shows what a jury says might not please the world.
It will be a public trial and be a circus. All of the evidence will be put out for all to see. That is how Florida law works. However, DA Corey has been cited for hiding exculpatory evidence from Zimmerman's lawyers. In Florida, that is a BFD and very illegal. That means even if the jury says guilty, the judge sets aside the conviction as a mistrial, meaning Zimmerman walks because of prosecutor misconduct. The DA got caught in the Casey Anthony trial, which means that even if she were convicted, she would have walked.
I do hope there is no riot. It would ruin the cause if there was a riot if Zimmy was found not guilty.
But i think they are going all or nothing for 1st degree. If that is so, and there is no backup,
Do you believe OJ Simson was not guilty on all counts? I do. The jury spoke he might not be found guilty now.
I fail to see what OJ Simpson has anything to do with anything what we are talking about. First off, Corey is going for 2d degree, not 1st. Depending on the jury instructions, the jury may convict of a lesser charge, like manslaughter, if the evidence warrants it. Like many other elected DAs, Corey is more about getting reelected instead of justice. She has a reputation of over charging even if the evidence was not support the charge.
However, I hope if he is found not guilty, that the Martin family sues the shit out of him
in a civil trial, if that is allowed in Florida( it may not be allowed).
If it is ruled justifiable homicide, it is not allowed nor should it. If he is simply found not guilty of second degree murder, but the judges instructions are that it is all or nothing, even if the jury thinks it is manslaughter, not sure how that would work.
But from the way I see it, Mr. Martin should have had a gun and used it against Zimmy and claimed self-defense himself. Would the NRA have backed Mr. Martin in that instance?
Yes, but he could face federal charges of being a minor in possession. Some of the evidence implies that Martin doubled back and blind sided Zimmerman, meaning it would not be self defense.
As Mr. Martin's life was in danger and he would have been correct in claiming self-defense instead of being killed cold blooded like he was.
I doubt that is the case.
and forget about all current gun laws, and the Brady bill. Those don't work, solely because of legal guns. You can rid the streets of guns if all were illegal AND the laws were such that made it possible to know when there are guns on the street.
You can't have one without the other

What is the priority? Safety or worshipping a gun?
individual rights and liberties, wherever it falls.
All it takes is more security. (and the irony is the clam that guns are for security, yet gun owners do not appear to want more security to be secure).
Because your security solutions imply a police state.
