Lets imagine and think again.. Lets assume.. Lets not follow the evidence.. ARG.
hung jury means this starts all over right?
No. He is not presumed innocent when he already admitted to killing TM. He may be found guilty of manslaughter or found not guilty by reason of SD. Neither of those is "innocent". It is a fact that he killed TM.

GZ had a "U" shaped mark on the back of his head that looked like an impression from the water meter cover. It is clear in one of the photos of his head and can be matched up with the photo of the water meter cover.
That's what I was thinking. They've already made up their minds. JMO. OMO. MOO.
But if anyone has to.. god forbid..make certain between yelling for help you clearly state your name and position..JMO
Then how did he manage to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars?Well, for what it's worth, he had virtually NO supporters until the facts came out at trial.

When I heard that the day the prosecution rested that the jury was dressed up, I thought that may mean they felt the case was going to be thrown out due to the lack of evidence.I wonder how long the Jury will deliberate. I have to wonder if they all decide to acquit early on if they will return a quick response or feel obligated to wait out through the weekend so it doesn't seem so obvious. I mean if they decided in 2 hours would they feel a bit guilty returning the verdict that quick so they could be home tonight and enjoy the weekend?
IMO.
Also it will be VERY interesting to hear what they think when this is over ESPECIALLY if they discover all of the stuff that was NOT allowed into evidence about TM.
LOVE the "check innocent" statement.

Pediatricians see patients to age 21 and sometimes beyond that age, depending on problems they have followed for a long time, such as sickle cell anemia. A pediatric unit in a hospital will admit a person to age 21 on the peds unit.

No, I believe you misunderstand something very important. Zimmerman is not assumed to be innocent, nor is it assumed that he is telling the truth.
Zimmerman killed an unarmed teen. He has admitted to doing so. Killing unarmed people is against the law. However, Zimmerman is claiming that he had no choice but to kill this kid, and that therefore he should be excused from the normal penalties that might apply.
Zimmerman is the one making this claim. It is his job to provide some evidence to justify his choices. The prosecution's job here is not to prove what happened, but to show that Zimmerman's version of events is not necessarily believable. Every questionable statement Zimmerman has made, every flaw in his various stories, the lack of any meaningful injuries, all these must be weighted by the jury. They are not weighting the prosecution's case -- as there is no question that Zimmerman pulled the trigger -- they are weighting Zimmerman's excuse.
The reason for this is simple. If the law did not work in this way, virtually any time a murder took place away from witnesses the defense could claim self-defense. Yes, I stopped the woman at gunpoint, but I never planned to kill her -- she grabbed for my gun! Prove me wrong! Yes, I followed this kid around with a gun, but I never planned to kill him -- he attacked me, he went for my gun! Prove me wrong!
See how that works? Zimmerman is the one making the claim, and it's a bloody big one. We have an unarmed dead teen, a teen who (by the defendant's own admission) was attempting to get away. Getting from that to "I had to kill him" is a mighty big leap, and Zimmerman's story has quite a few holes.

When my kids reached that age, they no longer were allowed to see the pediatrician, and were referred to a Family practitioner. Because a 17 year old is not a child, and medically it's inappropriate to treat them like that.
They have become adults, in the eyes of the medical community.
IMHO
GZ stopped yelling because he stopped the threat. MOO.
