And the photographic evidence and the eye witness.
Link?
And the photographic evidence and the eye witness.
And obviously the jury believed the shooter and that's all that really counts.
Maybe people are sending him funds to help pay for attorney fees he never should have incurred because they feel he never should have been charged in the first place.
In other Florida News... SICKENING!!!

(CBS News) JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Florida woman who fired warning shots against her allegedly abusive husband has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Marissa Alexander of Jacksonville had said the state's "Stand Your Ground" law should apply to her because she was defending herself against her allegedly abusive husband when she fired warning shots inside her home in August 2010. She told police it was to escape a brutal beating by her husband, against whom she had already taken out a protective order.
Not interested in hearing McCollum and Glass, Hornsby spew. The show is totally one-sided, IMO.
Sorry Trayvon. You deserved better. :*(
Because it would be news- and it would make a lot of GZ's supporters feel even more self righteous in their pre-judgement of young African Americans.
Where?? OMG wasn't she just WAY too happy??
I HOPE people remember this. lease:
"For Trayvon to rest in peace, we must all be peaceful."
Excuse me? My daughter has every right to walk our neighborhood at any time she is allowed by law and by her parents. Who are YOU to say otherwise?
What an evil, hateful thing to say.
I agree. I think this case was absolutely triggered and aggravated by the media..
I remember someone saying " WE are not supposed to be the news, we are just supposed to report it.. "
I can not remember who to credit it.. But that is sadly no longer the case.
The NBC reporter covering the verdict mentioned that TM's parents were lead to a separate room (sometimes used by lawyers) in the courthouse. So, yes they were there, just out of public view. Hope this helps. :seeya:
As an African-American man myself, I'm outraged at this verdict. George may have gotten away with murder & may be free in the eyes of the courts, but he's not free in the eyes of millions of strangers. He'll now have to go into hiding for the rest of his life...or move out of this country & never return here again. It's cases like this that makes me want to move to another country, even.
He'll have it worse than Casey Anthony, even, especially when race is being brought into this equation.
The worry is not that this acquittal will create riots. It is that it will create more George Zimmermans.
I am in FLorida. We've already had one bomb threat and they have cut the power to the building and evacuated several blocks. Seriously how does this help either side?
Glad we weren't going anywhere tonight.
Quite honestly, the biggest lesson I learned from this trial is that the media is ruthless and repulsive. They will try to change past, history, and future - all for the benefit of ratings.
It's truly frightening.
