the truth will come out in a trial.
No real witnesses. And you know his dad has told him for the last month what to say and I am sure got the best lawyers he knows working on the case for his son.
Unfortunately the best witness is dead.
I have trouble believing you can get a jury of 12 in Florida, who love their guns and the GOP, to all agree that Zimmerman was in the wrong. Mike Papantonio said it was a "Hell Hole of Conservatism" for a trial. I don't have much faith in this case be tried fairly.

But I can't be certain that ANY municipality in Florida can be impartial. Does that mean the FBI could get involved?
