I don't know that I have seen this in this thread but one thing certainly jumps out as a reminder. Zimmerman's acquaintance's comment during testimony after saying he helped GZ choose a firearm. We know it, but, it is a real world reminder...

"I recommend anyone who is not a convicted felon carry a firearm," said Osterman, who works for the Federal Marshal service. "The police aren't always there."

Whatever it is I hope justice prevails. It appears at least that there is some dishonesty in the testimony, but, I rely on the media and we know what the media is worth these days.

I just saw on the DMN site that Zimmerman has gained, 120 pounds in 6 months. WHAT!!!!? GEEEEEEEZZZZZZ!

I could not get the link there to open up the CNN audio about the affect that might have on the trial. George don't eat yourself to death. What a mess this all is.

The left continues to try to make this more than it is, to put self defense on trial. The President of the "National Urban League" says

"Everything else about this case is complicated by the issues of race, the unsuccessful attempt by Zimmerman’s defense to put Trayvon’s background on trial and Zimmerman’s claim of self-defense that is rooted in Florida’s questionable Stand-Your-Ground law."

and they continue to try to demonize targeted racial groups.

"It should also be noted that Zimmerman, a white Hispanic, was a particularly zealous neighborhood watch volunteer. In the months leading up to that fateful February day, he had made dozens of 911 calls. In a number of those calls, he reported spotting "suspicious" persons in the neighborhood, almost all of whom were black."

Is it going to be hard for Zimmerman to get a fair trial? And, if he does and wins, at what cost to civil unrest? Only thing we know for sure is this thing is a mess. "White Hispanic"? [in no way being negative about great, hardworking, family oriented Hispanics] I guess that is a Republican Hispanic.... But that term seems to have been invented to make this case about white America.
