Yes, the press conference is over. AS said that there would be another one around 5 or 5:15 pm.

I'm scared to get my hopes up that they are charging him? I feel like I'm waiting for CA's verdict all over again and I don't want to be disappointed the way I was that day.

No kidding. I can't trust anything after that verdict!

There will be some violence, if he's not arrested or not found guilty. Its nothing the parents can do about that. It will always be the few people that take actions into their own hands that will make the paper.

Look at Kentucky during March Madness. Now i bet you there were only a small handfull of kids, turning over cars and setting fires.

Only difference is how the media will handle these outbreaks.

But it does not have to be that way. I don't think the Martins want to hear of another child dying over this matter, we all don't. Look at what they have accomplished so far by saying we will not accept SPD's or the SA's decision. It's just not acceptable because they knew their son, knew what he was capable of. Most of us here are heartbroken with what the Martin family has had to endure. I hope SA does not let them down. jmo

I'm quite certain that everyone who chose to visit the link that I provided were quite capable of seeing what the organization was and is.

I'm sorry. I didn't notice the link in your post. Please accept my apology.

I am impressed with the strength and resolve of both of Trayvon's parents. Since this case began, I have been driven by one thought. What if this had been MY son?

I have asked myself what would I do, where would I turn, and I know that I do not posess the resolve of Tracy Martin to rise above the base instincts of emotion. Where Tracy Martin has conducted himself in the light, I know myself well enough to know that I would remain in the darkness, constantly searching until I had found the one who had taken my soul.

I hope Trayvon's parents can find peace.

As usual, so well thought out and beautifully expressed. Thank you Papa, your last sentence would explain me as well.

I have a great deal of respect for the Martins, and hope they will get justice for their wonderful son.

R.I.P. Trayvon

Between that from the WaPo and the barricades info in the other link, I'd bet on it.

I'm just glad we are finally at this point. I think charges are coming, and rightly so. There wil be those that say she had to to avoid riots and such. Not this lady...from reading about her she would have handcuffed the devil himself...she was not afraid of backlash at all. If I'm wrong and it goes the other way.......well, I'm throwing my computer out the window.

 

[frenchvixen]

Yeah that was a pretty interesting statement! Josh Powell had a squeaky clean record too! :maddening:

So did Scott Petersen

CNN reporting that GZ will likely be arrested and charged. Arrest might be imminent.

Sounds like the 72 hours will be very short

You know I was listening to the scanner during those riots and kept thinking how funny it was they were not covering them on the cable news stations.

 

[frenchvixen]

GZ will be charged!! CNN is quoting the Washington Post. I'm waiting for the perp walk.

 

[LolaMoon08]

I'm anxious to know what the charges are going to be?

 

[redkatrampant]

CNN reporting that GZ will likely be arrested and charged. Arrest might be imminent.

I have not refreshed this much since the early days of Caylee missing....I just hope we are given some NEW info.

 

[tehcloser]

I figure they have already arrested him if she is going to announce charges........

Oh I still think there will be some sort of uproar...
