In reply to the discussion: George Zimmerman to be charged in Trayvon Martin shooting, law enforcement official says [View all]Not even close.
They literally had NO evidence connecting her to it past highly marginal hair in the trunk of her car, and she was denying it.
Not even close to get a first degree murder conviction.
And, BS on the jury and their duty stuff, what few have spoke have said they knew she did it, but by their oath they simply did not have the evidence to convict.
It is a true tragedy that the women won't see justice for what she did, but she simply was not PROVEN guilty in court.
Here, Zimmerman admits he shot the kid, they have the 9-1-1 tapes providing VERY clear evidence of how it played out, witness testimony, and they are going for second degree murder.
These cases are so dissimilar they defy comparison.

Now the question is: where is the child killer that kills unarmed kids carrying skittles, iced tea?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it can be 1st degree murder

I think your correct. Ed clarified that on his show last night. Need grand jury for 1st degree.
