I have so dreaded the outcome of Zimmerman's trial, that I've avoided watching any of it [View all]

I've pretty much depended on DU for info.

So this is my first comment on the trial.

I couldn't avoid the headlines from today about the testimony of the defense's expert forensic witness who says Trayvon was atop Zimmerman when he was shot.

I know that's to be expected but I fear that it will have a big impact on the jury.

And here's where I stand, where I've stood since I first heard, with horror, about Trayvon's death. My opinion begins and ends with Zimmerman's decision to follow Trayvon because he was a black teenager.

I think he's guilty at the very least of manslaughter and nothing will change that.
