(11,916 posts)have compromised my values or belief to make it a unanimous decision. I told my husband the other night that I would have rather seen a hung jury. At least that would have said that someone believed the real evidence instead of the dog and pony show the defense presented.
I truly believe that Trayvon did nothing at all wrong and Z hunted him down and executed him.
I had not paid much attention to this case when it first was being reported. My first experience with it (other than blurbs on DU) was in my son's art class over a year ago. The teacher had the students do a current event's art piece. Many of the students did a drawing of Trayvon. When we went for open house, the drawings were posted all around the room. I'm so glad my son's school didn't direct the kids away from the subject.
