In reply to the discussion: Wow! It sounds like the JUDGE, not the jury, may have freed Zimmerman. [View all]Spitfire of ATJ
(32,723 posts)They didn't want to arrest him in the first place.
See? Now that they did their little show trial anyone who has a problem with it can be accused of being a sore loser that's just trying to stir things up and who doesn't respect the rule of law.
Any of that sound familiar?
A REAL TRIAL would have had a REAL Prosecutor and they would have picked a FULL 12 panel jury with actual black people (gasp) serving.
I still picture this jury as being a bunch of Southern Belles wanting to get back to their tea and pressuring the one "mixed race" to go along with them.
A Federal case would investigate ALL of the players including the judge and the prosecution. Can you imagine if they find cash changed hands? If they offered as much as clearing a parking ticket to get this done it will mean jail time.
