Zim's attorney is killing it.

Poor choice of words?

It was a pretty darned good closing, but he has the stronger case. I thought the cutouts to compare the size difference b/w the two was particularly effective. I do wish he had given TM's mom a heads up before whipping out the autopsy photo.

You know what was really weird though, not a single mention of SYG. (That one's for you, SD. :cheers:)
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

It's kind of messed up that the legal system doesn't require the jury to know "beyond reasonable doubt" that TM attacked GZ. The defense just has to show that it could have happened.

I mean, I get it, but it's messed up.

Agreed. I understand and support the trade off we made, but I don't always enjoy seeing the results. Dude killed a kid. Whether its stand your ground, concealed carry, whatever, there's a glitch in the system. For me, it's mostly about a kid getting killed and less about GZ walking, though.

yeah

Do you two think deadly force in self defense should always require jail time?  Maybe I'm misreading, but it seems like you're saying a killed b, and no matter the circumstances a deserves jail for killing someone.

This is quite possibly the most opposite of what I was saying. I don't really care about the verdict part. In fact, I'd probably lean toward no/minimal prison time for the same reasons as sys. My point is that the system has a problem when this is a potential result of an over eager neighborhood patrol. Whether that problem is judicial or social or whatever, I don't really know. But Martin died because GZ unnecessarily picked a fight and unnecessarily had a gun.

Because of the way the laws are structured? Discord between what it's right and what is legal or punishable in our justice system? :dunno:

He's doing alright.  I might have missed it, but I thought the jury instructions were absolutely settled on by now.  I'd be making my argument with the actual instructions as the framework, not what the sides want them to be.  Both sides seem to be doing the latter.

Yeah, I think at some point in this thread that what Zimmerman was most guilty of was being a hot-headed jackass with a gun, but you can't really send someone to prison for that.

Is there reasonable doubt that Travyon Martin is dead?   No.

Is there reasonable doubt that George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin?  No.

Is there reasonable doubt that the killing was justified and/or committed in self defense?  Yes. 

Conclusion:  no 2nd degree murder conviction

However, I could see a manslaughter conviction, since the evidence shows that Zimmerman did seem to display a disregard for human life, and acted in an irresponsible manner.

Self defense applies to the manslaughter charge exactly the same as the murder charge. If the jury finds the state failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that GZ was not acting in self defense, he must be acquitted on both counts (assuming the jury follows the law).
