I see your point and you may well be right about the "deliberate omission".
If the prosecution was attempting to leave it to the jury to infer it was a racially-based murder by George Zimmerman, their "deliberate omission" strategy obviously failed (with the jury and some of the public).
In any case, I didn't see it at trial because it wasn't presented in the case, whatever the reason. So, I'm unable to make the leap from exaggerating, wimpy, wanna-be-cop to racially-based killer based on the evidence available.
Based on the media coverage that I've seen, that probably puts me in the minority. I'm comfortable there.
