Thread Name: BS: George Zimmerman defense-' Evidence withheld'
Subject: RE: BS: Zimmerman defense-' Evidence withheld'
The problem here, YY, is that the judge is falling down on his job... His job is to insure that the trial will be untainted... He has allowed Zimmerman's attorney to use the media to poison the jury pool... That's exactly what Johnny Cochran did back in the early 90s when he got O.J. Simpson off when there was a mountain of evidence that O'J. did the crime...

My problem is with judges who sit in Southern states... The US has a history of looking the other way... Unfortunately, when it comes down to these kinds of crimes, the South has a very bad track record...

In 1979 in Greensboro, North Carolina, there was a non-violent, peaceful and legal civil rights march... The KKK set up shop on the march route and shot and killed 5 marchers... Not one ever was charged...

The South has a way of looking the other way when it comes to these kinds of things...

I know all too well... I was born in the South... Raised in the South... Educated in the South and still here... I've seen enough to suspect that one day we will look back on this trial as an injustice...

Oh, well???
