Zimmerman trial

[gopiscrap]

do you think the prosecution has been told by higher ups (gov etc) to sandbag this trial (I personally think that there is a whole lot of money behind the defense such as NRA etc)

1. I think there is a very real possibility because

a guilty verdict could leave the Sanford police, etc. open to law suits. jmho

2. I agree even the media shows bias

3. +1 And...

the media has many, many more defense lawyers weighing in. They are like a pack who always take the side of the defense, imho.

4. I am so afraid that it is true. I have stopped

watching it. The defense has gone so overboard they have managed to place doubt in the jurors minds. If the jury will just realize Z was STALKING Trayvon after lying to the dispatcher that alone should make the jurors take notice. Z went after him with a gun in his belt. There is no doubt in my mind Z wanted to make the police dept take notice that he would be a good candidate for the force. Z was obsessive about being on the force.

5. Possible but doubtful

It was the govs involvement in the first place that brought this to trial. Without higher up involvement Z would have never been charged. The Sanford PD would have just swept this under the rug - nothing to look at here. The problem is with no eye witnesses the evidence is thin. The prosecution is doing the best they can but the legal bar is very high.
