Lawyer meets Techie..

You edited your post to correct your original erroneous statement which was that Trayvon Martin shot George Zimmerman.

I gave you a civilized "out" because I know that humans make errors in typing. However, you edited your response before accusing me of needing a reading tutor. So now I conclude that in addition to your original errorneous claim that Trayvon shot Zimmerman, you are proven to be a dishonest, unethical cover up type of person that's more interested in being "right" or modifying the facts behind the scenes hoping not to be exposed. To add insult to injury, you then claim the other party bringing YOUR MISTAKE to your attention is the stupid one -- a Fox/Murdoch tactic.

Rather than getting to the truth, you've demonstrated that you will unlease verbal violence on otherrs to confuse and save face. Is that why you no longer practice law? (rhetorical)

Here's what you said to detract from YOUR MISTAKE:

"If, after re-reading my post, you still think thaat I wrote "that the dead Trayvon shot at the Murderer Zimmerman," I sincerely suggest that you find a good reading tutor."

But you wrote that before another DU poster (slackmaster) posted your edit history and reposted your previous comment. Recopied here:

...Reply, copied on my Blackberry:
...the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Martin shot Zimmerman...
HTH, and thanks for your contribution."


You may have been a lawyer once, but I was once the person that fixed up and clarified what the attorneys attempted to write. That's why I gave you an out. I'm sure our egos will clash again.

Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin for no legal reason. Deal with it!
The prosecutors are kicking Zimmerman's arse despite the media's biased claims that the state overcharged. Deal with it!
