OK, but I thought that I had just heard input from you and others that the jury did the only right thing here. How does the jury rendering a verdict such as matches your expectations so perfectly constitute this justice system being "subverted"? Are you alright, man? Err, never said that.In fact,I've never used the words "right thing" in discussing this case once.I don't see a right thing in this. I see a fucked up tragedy where two people made mistakes and one ended up dead and the others life is ruined. What I am on record as saying, consistently, is that I don't see how any reading of the facts removes reasonable doubt. I thought the case was flawed from the start, should never have been prosecuted (The chief agrees. In an interview he discusses how he would get a daily call from a different council member demanding an arrest. Each time he would explain due process, that police agencies have to have pesky little things like evidence, and then the next day he would get a new call. That should scare piss out of you.), that the prosecutors not only fucked up a dog of a case but that they may well have tried to hide evidence, that they overcharged, that they've fired a whistleblower who came forward with the evidence that they attempted to conceal, and that justice, and the justice system, has been subverted to an alarming degree to appease shrill political opportunists. Moreover,I've never taken any side .Not Z's.Not M's. I've stated that my official position is that I dunno what happened that night, you dunno what happened,nobody but God, Z and M know, and that anyone who says otherwise is a self proven liar. What we do know is that what evidence there is supported Z's version of events, that his life has been run through a microscopic investigation few could undergo, and that a jury of his peers found him not guilty. But right thing? Nah man.There ain't no right thing here. As of now, we all lost. quote:
From police records. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/03/27/10894561-zimmerman-accused-of-domestic-violence-fighting-with-a-police-officer?lite How does a speeding ticket, a youthful drunken altercation with a cop and dual restraining orders (one for the man,one for the woman-sadly, not an uncommon thing nowadays in a relationship gone bad) make for "verified mental unstable?" If they prosecution thought that was the case, they would have pounded that baby into the ground. Further, you can bet your ass that if there were any indication Z was truly verifiably mentally unstable" the anti-gun lobby would be blasting that fact from every corner, attacking Florida's CCW statutes and all gun legalization in general. Instead, their silence is deafening. You're making mountains out of molehills, finding things that aren't there. Again, the feds sent 45, count em, 45 agents to go through Z's life with a fine tooth comb. They came back empty handed. You're chasing things that just aren't there. ETA-Sorry bout tagging you with the Fargle quote Edwynn.I cut that from one of MarcB's posts and missed getting the name too. Not trying to implicate you in any way.My apologies :-)
