Abrams has been watching the same trial as I. I agree with his analysis and have the same understanding of the laws and how they apply to this case.
I particularly agree with his closing paragraph:
With all of this said, juries are notoriously impossible to predict and the deliberation process can take on a life of its own, but if they follow the letter of the law, it's hard to see, based on everything we know now, how they find him guilty of either murder or even manslaughter.
Some/all of the jurors could be viewing witnesses and testimony differently than Abrams and I.
And, there are still witnesses remaining and closing arguments to consider; what we know now isn't everything that the jury will have seen/heard before deliberations begin.
The fate of George Zimmerman will be known soon enough; maybe by end of this week?
