(5,029 posts)I very much agree with everything you said. My reply was only based on the Jury and what they have to go by.
I myself have served on Jury duty. I think both Rachel Jeante and Mr. Good are both bad witness's. Ms. Jeante appeared to be on some sort of mood altering drug. However I do not know this to be fact, only a personal observation. Mr Good looks like he could be a poster boy for a White supremacist group, I get a bad vibe about him and how his testimony was eerily similar to GZ.
I was not there, I could not discern GZ or TM's voice on the 911 cal,l simply because I do not know either one personally. I do not think any one could including experts.
I can speak of the prevalent racism here in Florida. There is not one race or ethnic group that does not have their racists among them. I have experienced it myself from both sides, and I am white. My belief is that GZ is or was a wannabe cop, I know many like him.
I feel for the jury in this case, it is not going to be a simple matter. Regardless of the outcome, I do believe that this is going to affect the "Stand your Ground " law in this state. A law I never agreed with and believe it should be struck down. This should also be a reminder to those politicians that strip the funding of a professional police force in lew of a volunteer vigilante police force in the name of lower taxes (for the Wealthy). I do hope that out of this tragedy, there will come some good.
