    Zimmerman made sure that was the case as the person with the direct evidence is now dead and can't testify.

    That was a good plan. He can't talk now!

    Zimmerman is likely not smart enough to plan that.

    He has got to be hispanic. If he was white, he wouldn't have been charged. :)

    They updated the picture they're really pushing in the media. Not the one above. But in it he looks more slim, clean cut in a suit, but still not white.

    Does this picture make him seem more white? Must be the suit.

    That's what I was referring to in my post above this picture. Still not "white".

    It doesn't make for a very good news story if he's latino. Much more dramatic if he's "Zimmerman the white guy".

    Latino vs Black = not interesting

    White vs Black = very interesting

    ABC even made him whiter than his photo on mugshots.com. I don't blame uninformed people like Zags for just gobbling up the info they're given, though. Some people just aren't very curious about facts.

    Stalking is a hard sell. Murder is very possible. I would think manslaughter would be the most easily sold on this one. It will be interesting to see/hear what the witnesses have to say. My contention has always been that he could have avoided the situation, and because he put himself in the situation where he had to take a life, he must face some form of consequences. I'm not convinced that he went after the kid with the intention of killing him, which would (in my mind) make it difficult to prove aggravated stalking and murder.

    My contention is he shot the kid. It may or may not have been justified, but given the kid didn't have a weapon of his own, it was bringing a gun to a fist fight. Bringing a gun to a knife fight is smart and reasonable.

    The "evidence" thrown around is only useful in the court of public opinion. In a real court, both sides make their case and present evidence, and citizens obliged to fairly serve as jurors decide one way or the other.

    I'd have been satisfied if they arrested the guy, charged him and he got off for good reason. Or if he were found guilty, so be it.

    I don't think this is a good case to resolve by manslaughter. I think of manslaughter as a drunk driver killing someone or maybe someone throwing a rock off a building and it hit someone below and kills them (ok that was a bad example).

    Point is that Zimmerman had a gun and knew what he was doing (firing at someone) and what the consequences would be (likely serious injury or death). Maybe he was doing it in self defense and justified in shooting. But there is no mistake of what his intent was when pulling that tirgger. Either murder or self defense.

    Mug shot of Zimmerman before the media can 'white' it up for effect. He looks like HCP's skinny and more Hispanic cousin.

    I assume you're just playing dumb at this point. I've seen your photos. You're whiter than most people on this board, including me. \

    You're a WASP, bro.
