Three 'toons about the Zimmerman case - pretty much how I feel about it. Sigh.

1. OMG,I wasn't aware the Zimmerman had been convicted.

[Mira]

2. that middle one - I hope -

is on the come

Also: I liked the graphic, and can't help myself when I see good visuals.

I had one of Bush behind bars with the words: All I want for Christmas...

3. The cartoonist did an amazing job on that one.

I hope the jurors noticed the arrogant look on his face whenever Trayvon's family testified.

[Mira]

4. True dat! the rest of the time he looks like this:

[pacalo]

5. I've got the "cowardly" faces right here...

First day of trial (or jury selection):

[Scootaloo]

6. He looks like he's shitting his pants in all of those

My nephew used to get that look when he was deucing his diaper.

[pacalo]

7. So true...

[BobbyBoring]

15. Calling him a creepy cracker is an insult

To those that are just creepy crackers

10. Yes, I definitely hope the jurors convict him based on his facial expression...

even better, I hope they have read all the pious, screeching op-eds and cartoons that I have and decide to convict him based on that instead.

And how fucking hopeless is that DA? Like I totally drew up some questions on this napkin that are way better than his questions. The first one is: "How do you sleep at night you fat murdering bastard?". Man, I could totally do a better job than him. The same way that I would be a way better starting pitcher for the Red Sox than Jon Lester. That guy can't throw a baseball worth a fuck compared to me.

[pacalo]

14. Not on his facial expressions alone, but they certainly are revealing about his attitude, don't you

agree?

I'm not happy about the DA's restraint in going after Zimmerman, but this video of John Guy's rebuttal to the defense's motion of dismissal gave me a preview of what's to come -- providing John Guy handles the summation. He beautifully applied common sense to the case, points that have not yet been made by the prosecution, & he was very effective:

16. that's brilliant

I've been looking for a video of that, I missed it and heard it was stunning. Zimmerman told his professor he wanted "to hunt down fugitives". Had not heard that before.

[pacalo]

18. I love his demeanor & I'm hoping he'll handle the summation.

He was very meticulous in laying out all the lies & contradictions.

[shaayecanaan]

17. I hope to God that if you ever end up in front of a jury...

that they have better regard for the rights of the criminally accused than you do, and that they make decisions based on evidence and not on facial expressions.

BTW, studies have shown that people are generally no better than chance at detecting lies based on facial expression.

[pacalo]

19. You're reading too much into my post about his facial expressions.

Of course the decision shouldn't be made based only on the contempt he shows for Trayvon Martin's family as they testify, but his demeanor is very telling of his attitude. Is he regretful that he murdered someone that he had assumed had ill intent or does he appear arrogant & disrespectful to his victim's family? Would he do it again?

And you really should watch the video I posted.

[shaayecanaan]

20. You seem to think that the jury should already have made up their minds by now...

you don't think that they should listen to the evidence?

[Mira]

21. Thank you for posting this. I had not seen it, and missed it when the trial began.

This shows me that there is hope for a conviction if the summation is close to this meticulous and focused.

[blue cat]

8. love them

Thanks for posting.

9. k&r

11. The first and last one really hit home for me. :(

13. It's That Smirk.....

[reusrename]

22. I want to break his nose.

Bothers me because I like to stay on the non-violent side of things.

Something about this guy. He should have got up on the stand and apologized to the Martin family on the first day of the defense case. I just want to punch his face.
