walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[Jimbone]

I agree that it's a mess. With what little is known, I could argue that T was in fear of his life and standing his ground. Those few minutes are key. Taking the devil's advocate view, for all we know, Z brandished (or threatened that he had) his weapon and then Trayvon jumped him.

Can you prove that wrong?

I don't think so. We're all speculating but I do tend to blame Zimmerman for following Trayvon in the first place. I confess it's a bias. I don't think Zimmerman should have followed (actually chased) Trayvon in the first place ergo, I tend to hold him accountable for everything that happened thereafter.

Nope, I can't prove that wrong. It's just as plausible as any other theory, which is what will really help the defense here... they only need reasonable doubt, which so far appears to be abundant.

It looks more and more to me that this charge was brought out of politics, and not blind justice. Seeing what's in the document dump, I really hope the prosecution has something else up their sleeve... they have a tremendously long road to get a conviction here.

Unless they can stack the jury with Black Panthers.
