""This entire thread is about the ILLEGAL withholding BY the Prosecution of evidence, contrary to US law.""

You made the comment Bruce, that you would not take race into account, so how about a response to my question:
"They, absent the public outcry, were not even going to arrest the killer, let alone try him.

Can you, hand on on heart, say that you believe that would have been their reaction had the races been reversed as per your earlier comment?"

""Bobert thinks that is just fine as long as they string Zimmerman up. Do you agree with him, or with the goal of a fair trail, under the law, that will not be thrown out for procedural errors, regardless of the final verdict?""

I agree with you, that anybody accused of a crime should have a fair trial!

Bobert thinks this trial will be anything but fair, and I regret that I must agree with that.

The whole procedure from the time of the killing has been handled by the authorities as though Zimmerman were some kind of local superhero, fighting crime on the streets, and their foot dragging over the arrest shows clearly that they didn't want any arraignment or trial.

The prosecution too is seemingly making a complete dogs breakfast of the trial.

The only logical conclusion, as far as I can see, is that the trial has already been held and the fix is in for Zimmerman to walk.

If he had killed a white man, he would have been the Hispanic murderer, but it was only a black kid, so who cares?
