I think some people are in for a surprise Re: Zimmerman.

141. I never understood why anyone believed he'd walk

Especially now that they're into closing arguments and should be aware of the evidence in this case. I'm getting really tired of so many people believing still (and even believing when they first heard of this incident) the the people on the jury would all be racist jackasses unwilling to look at any of the evidence and vote to acquit.

I'm not seeing any way to get passed Zimmerman being a wannabe cop vigilante that saw a kid doing nothing unusual, called police about him like so many of his other bogus calls to police, followed him in his car, chased him on foot, confronted him and never once believed this kid was doing nothing out of the ordinary, that he was afraid of this stranger following him and tried to get away and believed with his strapped on courage in the form of a gun that this kid would just bow to his wishes and allow himself to be subdued instead of being terrified and fighting for his life.

I'm not seeing any way to get passed Zimmerman's multiple lies, inconsistencies and gross embellishments, his outright lying on national tv with a straight face claiming he didn't know what the SYG law was and that his insignificant injuries so obviously minor in the photos of him before and after he was cleaned up by EMS are anything close to how he says he got them. The more O'Mara went over every little ding and speck on his face and head the more obvious it became that there was nothing there that comes anywhere close to Zimmerman's claims on how he got them.

Every member of the jury is female, and there is no female alive who does not know the visceral fear of being followed at night when walking alone. Not a one of them will not be able to know and believe beyond any shadow of a doubt that Martin was scared of some older guy he didn't know following and chasing him down for no reason and was terrified of him. Most if not all of these women are mothers who would have taught their own children the dangers of strangers particularly ones that follow them and what to do when out walking alone particularly at night and fear every day that something like this might happen to their own child.

The defense can posture and obfuscate, minimize and inflate all they like, but these jurors have eyes and ears the same as our own, as well as basic common sense, and I can't believe that they will let this dangerous child killing monster who has not one speck of remorse walk away.
