In reply to the discussion: It was a "thrill-killing" [View all]perimedik
(21 posts)9. fair trial will never happen.
So you can pick out a guilty person just like that?
You can judge him just like 99% of America already has.
Justice will not be served in this case, because not only was a man killed but the person who killed him WILL NOT receive a fair trial.
The press has crucified him, the people have eaten it up and in no wat shape or form will any justice come out of this trial.
No one will be happy, no one will be satisfied with either outcome.
I am by no means defending Zimmerman or Trayvon.
NONE OF US have facts - yet we dissect every little crumb that is thrown at us like it's the Zapruder film.

Nowhere in your all knowing post did you state that you were voicing an "opinion".

Thrill-killing absolutely nails it. It expalins why that POS wasn't moved by his victims screams.
