Teenage witness in Trayvon Martin case admits she 'misrepresented' herself, prosecution says

[spin]

200. I feel Zimmerman deserves his day in court. ...

He has already been tried by the media and found guilty.

Based on what I have read of the incident, I currently feel the Zimmerman chased and confronted Trayvon Martin and if anyone was acting in self defense, it was Trayvon.

But I do not have access to all the evidence. I also haven't listened to the arguments that the prosecution and the defense will present in the trial. This may well prove to be a very complicated case and the jurors may take days or weeks to reach a final decision.

Would you still consider it to be a "tragedy and a betrayal of all black people" if at the trial irrefutable evidence is presented by the defense that totally exonerates Zimmerman and he walks?

It is more likely that if Zimmerman walks it, will be because the prosecution failed to convince all twelve jurors that he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Sadly it is true that often the defense attorneys simply outclass the prosecution attorneys. It is also true that often juries reach a decision that confounds observers in the courtroom.

Yes, our system of justice is far from perfect but still I prefer it to trail by the media.

Am I being unreasonable? Perhaps I am wrong and Florida should just bypass the legal system and put Zimmerman behind bars for life.
