In reply to the discussion: The prosecution has already proven Zimmerman's guilt [View all]chuckstevens
(1,201 posts)7. Southern Justice
Remember, in 1955 Mose Wright (the uncle of Emit Till) saw Roy Bryant, the husband of the women Emit had said "bye baby" to, and his brother in law J Milam come to his house and take Emit away in the middle of the night. Milam had a pistol in hand. Emit was found two weeks later; shot and decomposing in the river near Money Mississippi.
It took the all white jury less than an hour to find Bryan and Milam NOT GUILTY. The Zimmerman case looks to us like a slam dunk, but never underestimate the stupidity and racism of Southern Justice

Zimmerman knew of the law and knew what to say to seem truthful to the cops, that was proven today
