Court of public opinion looms large in George Zimmerman murder trial

CrazyPaul said:
A few of you talked about OJ. Oh, yeah, he was a murderer in my own eyes. There are millions of people in the world also knowing that he KILLED two people. Hopefully someday his kids will write a book about him truthfully after he dies. End of discussion.

What makes you so sure?

5 jurors are white and one is Hispanic. Two are 30s and the rest are 50s-60s.

Unfair! It would be easier for some groups to accept the verdict if they felt there had been African Americans involved.
 
" Mike Vick did 2 years for dogs.. George Zimmerman kills a human Not Guilty ..welcome to America "



Someone posted this on line! We have just turned the clock back a 100 years! If GZ had shot and killed a dog he would be in jail!

Know why there were no black jurors? Because it's unfair for GZ that all black jurors support TM without hearing evidences.

During OJ's trial, he was found not guilty because of alot of black jurors since he's black, even though there were alot of hard evidences including DNA pointing to OJ. That's unfair.

Support both of white and black jurors. (half and half)
 
Hey, hey, blame the prosecution for bringing (overcharging) charges that would not stick all because they had the likes of Sharpton and others screaming and putting pressure on them to do this. And I believe Corey is now being investigated for suppression of certain evidence.......happens when ya try to mix politics with justice....

And that right there shows your lack of maturity. A State Court found Zimmerman NOT GUILTY. That means he is NOT a murderer.

Some people continue to call Zimmerman as murderer or killer, same goes to OJ Simpson and Casey Anthony.

Zimmerman isn't guilty because not enough evidence to convict under manslaughter and murder.

Right, prosecution should have charged him with something that would stick......like negligence because that's all they could get to stick even if he only goes to prison for a year or two.....see my previous comment just above.....
 
Chances of him losing in civil court is about 15%, those family sueing him in civil court will have to fight much much harder because there is no guilty verdict. If there is guilty verdict, that is the only evidence they needed. But since no guilty verdict, almost impossible to win.

That's your lovely hopeful about him.

Zimmerman will have pay to Martin families if they win the civil lawsuit, especially wrongful death, though.

That's not true.

Criminal case and civil case are separated.

OJ Simpson found not guilty on criminal case but lost the civil case.

Well, he is not guilty of murder or manslaughter. the judge did everything she could to make sure he would be convicted of 'something" when it turned out there was no evidence to convict him of murder in the 2nd. Murder in the 3rd?

It got ridiculous very fast. You cannot change the charges someone is on trial for mid trial. the police let him go the first time, then there was civil unrest, he was arrested then they let him go a second time, then there was civil unrest .... then there was this very long trial which exposed how the government exacerbated the racial tensions and tried to suppress evidence ...

Facebook is full of people posting up angry crap about this .. my replies have been "Zimmerman who? Is he the guy that wrote the soundtrack for the Lion King?"

Murder 3rd degree? It will be still no guilty because lack of evidence.

Oh well, Martin's families demanded the justice and it was up to jury to take or disprove Zimmerman's claim.

Now, the criminal case is over and he cannot be tried again - our constitution banned on double jeopardy.

The Judge knew that the prosecutors did not have a strong case and that was why she allowed the jury to decide a different charge mid trial.

There is buzz now that Zimmerman will be brought up on a federal civil rights violation. It will not go far because the FBI has already concluded that race was never a factor.

It's time to move on. The trial is over and people are hurting, they are angry, they are confused.

Only if it wasn't self defense. Self defense applies to dog attacks, too. Vick was using his dogs for fighting, which is against the law. He didn't kill any dogs in self defense.

You're comparing apples and oranges; there is no similarity in the two cases, and no analogy.
 
Read dictionary "Chance" I said 15% chances means a little chance that he will lose in civil case as opposed as if he was found guilty, as oppose as if he was found guilty, he will almost likely certain to lose civil case.

In other word if he was found liable in civil court, then the court system is truly fuucked up big time, and yes OJ Simpson civil court is definitely screwed up! Meaning that the justice was broken, period.
