Okay, Bruce... Let's say that Martin had said that he was going to check out a house to burglarize and beat the crap out of the owner of the house... Let's also say that he had said this just the night before...
Unless Zimmerman knew that this prior to following and murdering Martin why is it relevant...
We do character witnesses for defend0ants, not murder victims...
The bottom line here is simple... In the South we have way too many judges who are either elected or appointed by the local powers at be... That is my beef here...
It's not that I don't believe that it's up to the judge to put a gag order in place on the prosecutor and defense attorney... It's that the South, especially, has a very bad record with "wink, wink" justice...
Any "fair minded" judge would/should have issued a gag order...
It's not that Zimmerman won't get a fair trial...
It's that Martin won't and he doesn't have any right to appeal...
And for the record, it is very unusual for me to SCREAM... When I was using "caps" to write "scream" it wasn't a form of screaming... It was a way of getting you to associate the word with the intent... If you don't get that copy my post and take it to an English professor and have him or her explain it to you...
