Will justice only be served if George Zimmerman is convicted?

62. You're Kidding, Right?

Trials are FULL of doubt. The outcome of most trials doesn't come down to the evidence but to the skill and likeability of the attorneys involved and their ability to sway a jury despite what the evidence might say. That justice is sometimes served is a mere by-product of the process. So this belief that a trial will clear anything up is a dubious one.

In this case, however, based on that 911 recording alone, Zimmerman did what he shouldn't have been doing—following what he thought was a "thug" and confronting him. After he had been told not to do that. And despite what you think about the words on the recording, Neighborhood Watch people are ROUTINELY told NOT TO PURSUE, MERELY REPORT. For their own safety. And because Zimmerman was the neighborhood watch captain, he would know this.

And your own personal bias—having been burned—has nothing to do with this particular case.

He followed an unarmed boy who was merely walking home from the store and shot him. There is no justification for what he did.
