Guilty or innocent there was no way he was going to walk. They gave him a plea of 20 years when he was facing 3 life terms. In that environment he had no choice but take the plea. The government would not have let him go to trial and take his chances. The fix would have been in. My humble opinion.

Same with Zimmerman. Guilty or "innocent" he won't be allowed to walk. He will serve time for some degree of manslaughter. Less than 10 years (again my opinion).

2. I said in a post a week ago that this was one of the strategies...

for his defense. He and his toadies will muddy the waters so much that at least ONE member of any jury will hang it. That's if it even GETS to the jury stage.

BTW, I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying this was the strategy all along and that I believe it will work.

5. Exactly what I thought when I first saw calls for vigilantism on THIS board. I will not be

forgetting who called for a lynching.

7. I though the same since everybody in florida has been leaking facts/hearsay/speculation to the media

3. I just heard a professor say that on MSNBC....But, if it weren't for the loud voices

calling for justice...nothing would have happened.

4. Does that mean they want to let the "terroist cell" of poor, black guys out of prison?

You know, the ones who had no money, training or abilty to carry out anything but what the FBI dreamt up for them.

They were from Florriduh also.

6. If he doesn't think the jury would be fair,

he can always waive his right to a jury and opt for a bench trial.
