Zimmerman trial starts today.

I really hope that justice will be done in this case.

Let the circus resume.

I'm hoping the whole escapade has a chilling effect on the SYG laws in the courts. If we can't get rid of the law, we can press the shooters harder to prove the validity of their actions.

I will be surprised if any real justice is delivered in a verdict. See a slap on the wrist or a walk. Now if there is a civil case for liability then maybe.

How do you define "justice" in this case?

Wouldn't you say it would be the guy that stalked, shot and killed a young man pays for his crime?

Assuming that our method of jurisprudence is to try the case in the media. Frankly, there's been an overindulgence of racism, emotionalism and politics in this case stoked by a voracious, 24/7 cable news cesspool that will, hopefully, not be present in the courtroom.

The jury will hear the facts in the case as presented by the prosecution and defense. There will be a judge which will instruct the jury to render a verdict within the confines of Florida law. I don't have a dog in this race one way or another, but the circus that has surrounded this case has been sickening.
