Trayvon Martin Death Investigation

Yeah. Whatever.  But if you think that this fellow is going to be convicted of second degree murder, you're dreaming.

I suppose it's still possible that he might be convicted of manslaughter, but "Murder Two" is really a stretch, IMHO.

Shorthand. Z* = Zimmerman P* = Prosecution,etc. I use it for lengthy terms that are often repeated.

As the George Zimmerman trial moves into its third week, on Monday evening "Piers Morgan Live" invited Mark O'Mara to offer his insight and perspective on the proceedings, as part of a primetime, exclusive interview.

The man tasked with representing the defendant, O'Mara told Piers Morgan that regardless of the case's outcome, Zimmerman will forever be looking over his shoulder:

"First of all, my client will never be safe, because there are a percentage of the population who are angry, they're upset, and they may well take it out on him," said the guest. "So, he'll never be safe."

In an unmistakable setback for George Zimmerman, the jury at the neighbourhood watch captain's second-degree murder trial has been given the option of convicting him on the lesser charge of manslaughter in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Judge Debra Nelson issued her ruling over the objections of Zimmerman's lawyers shortly before a prosecutor delivered a closing argument in which he portrayed the defendant as an aspiring police officer who assumed Martin was up to no good and took the law into his own hands.

To win a second-degree murder conviction, prosecutors must prove Zimmerman showed ill will, hatred or spite - a burden the defence has argued the state failed to meet. To get a manslaughter conviction, prosecutors must show only that Zimmerman killed without lawful justification.

Allowing the jurors to consider manslaughter could give those who aren't convinced the shooting amounted to murder a way to hold Zimmerman responsible for the death of the unarmed teen, said David Hill, an Orlando defence attorney with no connection to the case.

From CNN Producer John Couwels:

There is an estimated 25 people demonstrating outside the courthouse.  

They have signs that say “Justice for Trayvon” and “Zimmerman Guilty.”

They are chanting “What do we want? Justice. When do we want it? Now”  

Earlier a Black Panther group had a presser with about 6 to 7 people attending.

Kill George Zimmerman
George Zimmerman must DIE.
I am pleased to see the monster building up a fan base and getting the recognition that is due him. Congrats to the Sociopath killer on becoming the most hated man in America    
He will never feel safe and be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life,just as I predicted.  

May your last day on earth be soon Mr Zimmerman and here's hoping that you suffer greatly until then.

Robert Zimmerman says that his family has not spoken to his brother, George Zimmerman, since he was acquitted for the murder of Trayvon Martin because President Barack Obama’s administration may be listening to their phone calls.

In an Tuesday interview on Fox News, Robert Zimmerman said that George Zimmerman’s parents had not spoken to or seen their son since the verdict on Saturday night.

“We do have concerns and always have of having our phones tapped, having our phones, you know, listened to by the administration or whomever because George is now as we know continually the subject of ongoing investigation.”

“So a lot of the things that we do are connecting in person, that’s how we’ve managed to stay hidden for so long, that’s kind of old school, but it works,” Robert Zimmerman added. “I have not spoken to him directly for the same reason.”

A Pew Research Center survey of tweets about the Zimmerman verdict within 26 hours of the end of the trial. (Pew Research Center)

According to a Pew Research Center analysis of 5 million tweets about the George Zimmerman murder trial verdict, nearly 40 percent of users tweeting about the case merely shared the news of the verdict, while nearly as many expressed an opinion about the outcome, and others criticized the media coverage.

Almost as many tweets offered views on the outcome. 31 percent of the tweets expressed anger at the verdict, while seven percent offered support. 11 percent of the tweets offered criticism of the media.

"The sentiments decrying the verdict were often emotional and frequently evoked a racial subtext, according to an analysis of the Twitter response to the trial outcome from 10 p.m. July 13 to midnight on July 14," Pew found. "Among that group, the largest component (15% of the Twitter reaction) was criticism of the criminal justice system, including charges that it is biased against African Americans. Another 14% accused Zimmerman of wrong-doing, such as deliberately profiling Martin. And 2% spoke of Trayvon Martin as an innocent victim."

he parents of slain teenager Trayvon Martin appeared on the Today Show Thursday morning to talk about their new focus after his killer, George Zimmerman, was found not guilty. The verdict has sparked massive protests all over the country and outpourings of grief from many prominent figures, not only over Trayvon’s death but over the implications it has for all black families.

Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin recognized the wider role their son’s death has had in exposing the justice system’s racial biases:

   Is this the intent for the justice system to have for victims? It’s sending a terrible message to other little black and brown boys that, you can’t walk fast, you can’t walk slow. So what do they do? I mean, how do you get home without people assuming that you’re doing something wrong? Trayvon wasn’t doing anything wrong.

Shortly after Trayvon’s death, his parents started the Trayvon Martin Foundation to give black communities educational and legal support while spreading awareness about racial profiling. Martin concluded, “Even though nothing we can say or do will get Trayvon back, maybe we can help someone else not lose their child.”

The right-wing response to the verdict has ranged from denying any racial bias to insisting that black men are rightfully considered suspicious.

This common bias is used to justify the fact that young black men make up 80 percent of drug arrests in the country, even though they use drugs at the same rates as whites. Black defendants also receive far harsher sentences than white defendants convicted of the same crime, and are much more likely to be wrongfully convicted for crimes against white victims. The New York Police Department also argues that officers target mostly African Americans because black men have a higher crime rate.

Meanwhile, crimes against black victims like Trayvon Martin often result in lighter sentences or even acquittal.

As a result, a black male teenager has a 32 percent chance of serving time in prison at some point in his life, while the rest of the community lives under a constant cloud of suspicion. Nor is this suspicion restricted to low-income communities. On Tuesday, Attorney General Eric Holder recounted how frequently he has been stopped by police — once when he was running to catch a movie in Georgetown, even though he was a federal prosecutor at the time.
