Buehrle>Wood Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 What a circus. DMX should get knocked out by him to. That'll be an even bigger circus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Zimmerman needs to go the f*** away. I agreed with the outcome of the trial, even as unfortunate as the circumstances were, but he's still a piece of s*** human being that needs to be removed from the limelight.

Y2HH Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 ...and he will go away, when people collectively stop posting/talking about him whenever the media posts a click bait article. Paradox, b****es. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 He was convicted of multiple counts of second degree attempted murder and will be retried for the first degree count Is it really worth retrying the first degree count when they already got two second degree convictions?

Balta1701 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Again, Jenks, he did not request an SYG hearing and instead the Judge charged the jury with the "no duty to retreat", SYG standard in the instructions to the jury, and as of now he was not convicted of murder despite murdering someone.

OK? So the jury was instructed on the law. What's wrong with that? They clearly didn't believe that he was acting in self-defense or that he "had not duty to retreat" since they convicted him of 3 counts of attempted murder. And I doubt I would have convicted him of first degree murder based on what i've read. There wasn't much premeditation here. This is yet another case where Florida prosecutors went for the home run instead of the single. The law worked as it should in this case. Dude's a murderer. He didn't shoot because he thought he could get away with it. He shot because he's a murderer. Edited February 17, 2014 by Jenksismybitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
