I do not agree with the jury, but in our system they have the last word. That's OK with me.

What you just described could be equally ascribed to TM.

Isn't there such a thing in law as "Fighting words?" Words so egregious that they can legally provoke a physical response. I seem to remember something like that. Not arguing here. Maybe someone knows.

Hey, that pocket hose really works.

IMO O'Mara could have used him instead of the dummy. (Oh, I hope I don't get in trouble for that.)

I don't think GZ sustained those injuries in the way he said nor do I think they were anything but superficial. If I were on that jury I would be insulted by O'Mara wrestling with that dummy. GZ, by all accounts, did not lose consciousness and was not as limp as a rag as was that dummy...

I have to say, No, I've never been in a fight. I've never climbed Mt. Everest, either, but I can tell you how it's done.

As an example, would they make up a theory that TM doubled back to confront GZ? There's no more proof of that, IMO, than GZ forced him at gunpoint to accompany him from the back of the house he was visiting. I believe the latter is more logical than the former, since TM ran from him (Or...

He was in a cell for just a few days. He's been out on bail for a year or so.

I agree that someone was certainly out of control. Where I disagree is that I think it was GZ. Apparently for much of this life.

I think there's a good chance you are right. If he were to be acquited, I think it would already have happened. I think the jury is deciding between Murder Two and Manslaughter. It's a close call, IMO, and I have watched most of the trial and read the testimony several times. IMO Not Guilty...

I agree with Judge Alex in that GZ had his gun out and that he approached TM in back of the condo where he was staying. IMO that's how he got TM to come with him back toward his vehicle. But Trayvon tried to escape 70 yards away and was shot. I tried to say this during the trial, but was...

GZ had some facial injuries but the photos didn't show where they came from.

Since IMO most of the evidence is open to interpretation, but not all, for instance, the fact that TM's DNA was not on the gun but GZ's was, is not open to interpretation. It is a fact. Eyewitness interpretation is open to interpretation and question. Are they truthful? Is what they are...

Yes. I would refer to him as a child.
