walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[HairOfTheDog]

Interesting reading HG. Especially some of the witness testimony. The more I read, the more i think JB (and MS) may be right that he walks unless the state has some secret weapon up their sleeves. *sigh*

I wouldn't bet against him walking either.

It's gonna depend on the prosecution's ability to confirm incriminating timing and distance of events that night and inconsistencies or implausibility in Zimmerman's statements and testimony (along with the make-up of the jury) imo. If the prosecution is able to present a solid enough case that makes it difficult for defense lawyers to poke holes through and the jury understands and considers the evidence well, I could see Zimmerman going away for 25 years.

Lots of people were bettin' against Zimmerman being charged at all early on, and there was a considerable amount of surprise when he was charged with 2^nd degree murder instead of manslaughter. So, it may well be that the prosecutors have some damning evidence that they're holding close to the vest for obvious reasons.

⁵⁰⁄₅₀ on Zimmerman walking, imo. I wouldn't bet on the verdict one way or the other at this time. JMO...
