I think everyone here knows what my views are by now about this case.
But....
I still think its a bit of a disgrace that Zimmermans defence has to beg online for donations just so they can try and mount a decent defence.
Justice should be blind and not about how much cash you have access to.
The government have recently made cuts in the legal aid budget in the UK but all serious cases still get legal aid if required. That means everyone accused gets the right to have a decent and compotent defence whether they are a prince or pauper.
