The Murder of Trayvon Martin

They always get away." and you've got a decent case for Zimmerman starting the confrontation.

She has about as much of a reason to lie as Zimmerman. We'll see what kind of a witness she makes. An eye witness is pretty unreliable. Now we're talking about an 'ear-witness' to coin a term. Defense counsel should have a field day on cross.

I believe the evidence will show that Zimmerman started the confrontation but then was losing. When he started losing, he shot Martin. I don't think that Martin is both bashing Zimmerman's head into the ground and reaching for the gun at the same time. Despite your belief, that just isn't credible.

I really don't see how it's not credible. I also don't see how the state proves otherwise.

Thank you for teaching me to suck eggs, son. I'm aware about seeing both sides. My point about prosecution bias was intended to be a gentle way of suggesting that we BOTH may be biased. You're showing quite a bit of defense bias and not seeing both sides. Clearly, I need to be more direct.

I'm just calling things as I see 'em. It's a weak case.
