In reply to the discussion: ZIMMERMAN TRIAL - MORNING, Day 12, Wednesday, July 10, 2013 [View all]Voice for Peace
(13,141 posts)but I doubt if anybody really believes they really
know. As other posters have said, we are speculating,
and in many ways we are the jury, but we get
no legal vote.
I have thoroughly digested as much of Zimmerman's
story as has been presented in court and to the
public, I think -- at least his version(s) of that night.
The more I have learned, the less it makes sense,
the less he seems trustworthy, the more Trayvon
Martin comes out as a truly innocent kid who was
fighting for his life. The case as laid out by the
prosecution is quite simple and it is solid, my
non-expert opinion.
It is frustrating when defense witnesses and defense
attorneys obfuscate the facts and raise questions
re the innocence of Trayvon. I know it's their job,
but don't have to like them on that account, or
their tactics. I find both of them unpleasant to
watch and listen to.
You can keep posting your point of view, and I personally
think it's valuable, but you can do it without disparaging
the enthusiasm and perspectives of other posters.
That part adds nothing to the discussion except
misunderstanding and bad feeling. It doesn't make
anyone more humble.
