I've watched both Channels 6 and 2 from Orlando. Their experts say it is a very weak case.

Their analysis of Rachel Jeantel was certainly far better than most of what I read here. In a fair legal system, Rachel Jeantel should never be responsible for sending anyone to prison on serious charges. That would be a travesty of justice.

The case seems very weak as the law is written. We shouldn't allow civilians wandering around with weapons confronting citizens. The dislike of our laws and Zimmerman's actions has biased many to the actual events that day and in the trial.

I think Zimmerman is morally responsible for TM's death – but legally, perhaps not. Maybe more will come out in the trial. Perhaps they can get Zimmerman on manslaughter, or something.
