(13,669 posts)Regardless of whether you can see that or not. It doesn't matter if the 'innocent' person is Trayvon, or Zimmmerman. One of those people was denied a trial- and the other has so far completly escaped one. We cannot bring Trayvon back to life and allow him a trial, but we can demand that his death be seen as worthy of being judged in a court of law. That is ALL the vast majority of people here on DU are asking for, despite many of you insinuations to the contrary.
You may not like that your question is every bit as valid for Trayvon Martin as it is for George Zimmerman, but the fact is that it IS. An innocent man is dead. The man who admits being responsible for that death is walking around an 'innocent man' at present. There are many questions about why this man is not in custody. If he is innocent, a trial should prove that. At least he has a chance to be tried in court, something he didn't see fit to allow Trayvon. But that fact doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to have a chance to prove his innocence. I don't understand why you have such a difficult time acknowledging this.
