Now it's in the jury's hands. Impressive rebuttal on the states part, IM (non expert) opinion.

You're too funny, Pete.

I live to serve, but can't take the credit for that one.

My guess is a manslaughter conviction from the jury. I will be utterly surprised and have my faith restored in the criminal justice system in Florida if they convict Zimmerman of the correct charge of 2nd degree murder.

YMMV.

Mr. Guy is the new Atticus Finch, IMHO.

Nope. Believe it or not, not all gun owners are mind set on killing.

However, these guys that the law was after were armed and dangerous. One of them had already killed a MO HWY Patrol officer before escaping jail and making it to TN. The guy came out of the woods and knocked on an old lady's door. He asked for something to eat because he was starving from being on the run and just then the lady's son pulled into her driveway. He held the guy at gunpoint and called the law. The lady fixed him something to eat while waiting, and he was trying to eat when the law got there. They quickly interrupted his meal on the front porch if I remember correctly.

Now back to the Zimmerman trial. I seen on the news where the jury is not being allowed to see or hear of the kids recent history of multiple fights. Even texts of him bragging about fighting. Sounds like they aren't trying to make it easy for Zimmerman to walk as some might think.

Tennesseeans are nice to a fault. Maybe that's why two of my California born brothers choose to live there. Besides the fact that they each married Tennessee gals. One is in Memphis and the other may be your neighbor, Hillbilly.

The jury is also restricted from hearing that Zimmerman has been arrested for resisting an officer with violence and has had a restraining order for domestic abuse.
