It really is that simple. Good blog link. Hoyt Jul 2013 #4

Perhaps... pipi_k Jul 2013 #5

I firmly trust GZ's mother had doubt Voice for Peace Jul 2013 #24

I had a different take... pipi_k Jul 2013 #43

aren't you supposed to watch the defense case friendlyFRIEND Jul 2013 #6

So you must be saying that Dan Abrams shouldn't have an opinion gollygee Jul 2013 #7

but you can't declare a guilty/non-guilty decision friendlyFRIEND Jul 2013 #8

The blog doesn't say that he is guilty or not guilty gollygee Jul 2013 #9

That is why jurors are instructed to not read media, news papers etc. and certainly lumpy Jul 2013 #12

his actions conform to Voice for Peace Jul 2013 #14

we'll see... friendlyFRIEND Jul 2013 #15

I haven't seen the defense large presentation, but have seen the defense. Voice for Peace Jul 2013 #18

I mean hey... friendlyFRIEND Jul 2013 #23

I think Dan Abrams John2 Jul 2013 #26

thank you. Zimmerman's story might be coherent and believable if Trayvon were a fucking punk Voice for Peace Jul 2013 #30

It is exactly John2 Jul 2013 #38

"cutting off pursuit" will do Zimmerman in. Zimmerman wants you to believe that chelsea0011 Jul 2013 #40

Odd blog post. Igel Jul 2013 #10

that's one of many posts, ongoing analysis of trial, at that blog by the author Voice for Peace Jul 2013 #17

I can't make sense out of what that guy is saying korak Jul 2013 #11

It is just one man's opinion. lumpy Jul 2013 #13

ok Voice for Peace Jul 2013 #19

I was gonna say welcome to DU hfojvt Jul 2013 #20

It'll be a guilty verdict, there'll be a less than 10 yr sentence. But I would imagine ... marble falls Jul 2013 #16

where do you get less than a ten year sentence on a murder conviction? Voice for Peace Jul 2013 #21

I'll stand by my opinion. Any number of things could happen. marble falls Jul 2013 #42

Disprove self-defense? Spitfire of ATJ Jul 2013 #22

Dan Abrams is a paid shill TorchTheWitch Jul 2013 #25

I don't think that the media cares one bit about Zimmerman's fate dansolo Jul 2013 #41

Wow this guy thinks they could find beyond a reasonable doubt that TM didn't attack Z? dkf Jul 2013 #27

I think the main problem lies in Z's many absurd exaggerations Voice for Peace Jul 2013 #32

But z still has injuries. dkf Jul 2013 #34

Because the more obvious explanation is that Trayvon was defending himself. Voice for Peace Jul 2013 #36

He also thinks Zimmerman is going to testify because he "can't help himself". dkf Jul 2013 #28

A guilty verdict before the defense is presented? LittleBlue Jul 2013 #29

based on what he knows of the facts Voice for Peace Jul 2013 #33

A DEFENSE lawyer too!!! dkf Jul 2013 #35

False equivalencies are the rubric of lazy minds. nt MrScorpio Jul 2013 #37
