Thread Name: BS: George Zimmerman defense-' Evidence withheld'
Subject: RE: BS: Zimmerman defense-' Evidence withheld'
Bobert: "You can take it to the bank that neither Zimmerman or his attorney's have any interest in a lawsuit for false arrest..."

Though I posted that, I'm not saying they should.. that being said, I'm merely pointing out how absolutely terribly the case was handled, when the racial overdose or out of control emotions were whipped up, causing the prosecution to go around the 'normal' procedure...speaking of which, judging from some of the posts since the verdict, there still are people who just don't seem to get it! Zimmerman DIDN'T get what was coming to him, because of all the flapping about the racial issue. As I posted before: "..and one more thing...it was either 34 or 36 FBI agents interviewed Zimmerman prior to the trial, as to his racial prejudices....all of them said there was no evidence that he had any!!!
There goes the federal civil rights charges!
Some of you may disagree, for a myriad of reasons, in that case, you might want to check own selves!"

Zimmerman SHOULD have been charged with something that would have stuck..but 2nd degree murder wasn't it..and because of it, it failed. No amount of screaming and tantrums are going to change that. Sharpton, to appear relevant, is going to lobby and press for federal charges, so he says.
Everyone who is bitching vociferously, obviously DON'T understand the LAW!!. Also, the 'stand your ground' premise was NOT used in this case, but may be used 'successfully in any civil lawsuits.
Now if you want to bitch at me, you're wasting your time..I DIDN'T WRITE the law, nor am I particularly in agreement with it. I just posted the posts I did, because I understand the law, as it applied down there. What 'seems fair', or 'unfair', I have not opined, one way or the other(remember the pig race)..all I was doing was trying to do was clarify the hurdles, and let people see clearly what was LEGALLY going on.
No need whatsoever to spit nails at me, or in other words, "Don't shoot the messenger!"
When you apply your(generically speaking) angst about the racial issue, or the age issue, I applied the FACTS of the law, and posted them.
You may disagree, about the law, or the way it was applied, but at least I told you ACCURATELY what they were, are, and how they either applied of didn't apply.
Fair enough?
