this can't be fairly tried in the media and at rallies and by vigilantes. he should have his day in court and hopefully justice will prevail.
after that the people should be satisfied. or not.
i'll be surprised if the special prosecutor doesn't bring charges this week coming up.
I couldn't agree more. Trial by media and public opinion does not work due to the bias of the person reporting the story. The facts need to be laid out. The only clear fact I know is that Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin. Whether he murdered him or killed him in self-defense is up to a jury to decide. The sad fact is that Trayvon is just as dead either way. Sharpton's calling for "economic sanctions" and "civil disobedience" is just another way to justify rioting (and rioting will break out at some point IMO).
