walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[Adub]

quote:
It has and continues to be our position that the Stand Your Ground Immunity Statute does not apply to the actions of George Zimmerman on the night that he shot and killed Trayvon Martin. Further, the decision made by the defense to waive a pretrial hearing and to solely continue on to trial vindicates the many thousands of protesters who demanded George Zimmerman be arrested for the killing of Trayvon Martin. After all, to have a felony criminal trial an arrest must first be made.


This should not have a bearing on this case. This application is useless. Stand your ground had it not been implicated post haste should stand on its own. To bring verification of the law as it stands should be the deciding factor not public referendum.

Exactly, Maggot. Mr Crump, the victim's family attorney, has no bearing on the case. That is why he won't be deposed by the defense. That is why he can go on TeeVee and give his opinion anytime he wants. He can be accused of being a rabble rouser, but that does not excuse what Zimmerman did.

Zimmerman should have been arrested and charged much sooner. When Sanford PD finally sent in the capias asking that Zimmerman be charged, the Assistant State attorney at the time, Jim Carter, accused the Sanford PD of fucking him up the ass. The ASA was pissed that the SPD recommended that Zimmerman be charged. Why? I just don't get it. Zimmerman obviously was making up shit as the investigation went along. Zimmerman knew that his ass was in the sling. And he was trying to side-step his earlier statements.

George Zimmerman racially profiled Trayvon Martin as a "suspect" involved in previous burglaries in the gated community. That is pretty obvious. Just read Zimmerman's police statement from the night of the murder. It is sick. I think he called Trayvon the "suspect" over a dozen times in a two or three page statement. Zimmerman fucked-up. Trayvon Martin was just walking back to his father's girlfriend's townhome. Minding his own business. Nothing more.
