walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[Cheyne]

He's eating his pain.

The talking heads on HLN are speculating today that the weight gain could really hurt Zimmerman because he's so large and gives off the image that he couldn't be pushed around.

I think he looks unhealthy and slow, like someone who could easily be outmaneuvered.

O'Mara is using it to claim that George is so victimized by his circumstances that he's overeating due to emotional stress. And, George gets no exercise since he's trapped inside because people call him such vile names; he's in fear for his life.

Hopefully, this jury will be sensible enough that the weight won't affect them one way or the other. They'll only view him as he was the night that he killed Trayvon.

On another note: The hearing scheduled for tomorrow, to consider keeping the jury anonymous, has been cancelled.

In this case, I do hope the sequester is granted and don't object to anonymity for jurors who desire it. Very interested to see how Judge Nelson rules on the jury issues.

GZ may be "eating his pain" but I don't buy that he can get no exercise trapped inside his home. They make treadmills, stairmasters, Bowflex etc... for just that reason.

The weight gain could help or hurt him depending on the size of the members of the jury IMO.
