In reply to the discussion: During the Zimmerman trial, we have had DUers argue for his acquittal, which, of course, happened... [View all]avebury
(11,197 posts)trial, there was all sorts of stuff that came out about Zimmerman's various prior run ins with the law (i.e. prior girlfriend filing for restraining order against him, GZ being required to take an anger management course following his assault of a cop who tried to arrest his friend, and so on). In addition, he had had a bad fight with his wife the night of the shooting which most certainly should have been allowed to be introduced in court as that had total relevance to his state of mind that night. Treyvon Martin was a victim of a police force that did not want to take the case seriously and do their job from the moment the incident occurred and Prosecutors who most certainly could have done a better job.
With his college courses, friendships with cops, family background, and so on, there is no doubt what so ever that GZ knows how to game the system. This was clearly evidenced by the 911 call he placed yesterday which only served to allow him to try to change the narrative of the events and, once again, try to portray him as the victim. He kjnew that the police would immediately release the 911 tapes and his call was nothing more then a PR move on his part.
It is not a matter of if but of when GZ's luck will finally run out, hopefully at his own expense and not someone else's.
