Me either. But after the alsame Feb 2014 #40

That worries me too MoonRiver Feb 2014 #44

Here's on the big differences in my mind. Sissyk Feb 2014 #53

What I still don't understand MoonRiver Feb 2014 #68

While it isn't often discussed... spin Feb 2014 #71

this is what is weird about SYG- it is supposed to be used to avoid unfair trials- but you have bettyellen Feb 2014 #62

That's a solid point. I agree totally. (n/t) spin Feb 2014 #72

I was shocked to see it was somehow included in the jury's instructions for Zimmerman. bettyellen Feb 2014 #86

They were included because it's the law kcr Feb 2014 #91

I don't get it- if they do notget the benefit of the doubt it was SYG, why should they get bettyellen Feb 2014 #92

They shouldn't have kcr Feb 2014 #94

I suspected that but was unable to verify it on the net. (n/t) spin Feb 2014 #95
