Re: The George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin Travesty
the really messed up thing is no matter whether he is guilty or not the only people that will care about this case next week will be the ones trying to sell something. That is just the world we live in.

Only in America would hispanic be described as a race.
I know hundreds of Spanish people, most of them white.

Re: The George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin Travesty
Actually, you need to learn some basics about Florida's stand-your-ground law. In Florida, you can claim self-defense and/or immunity under the stand-your-ground law. Zimmerman's lawyer(s) argued that he should be found not guilty because he was defending himself from an attack. They didn't claim that his self-defense falls under their state's stand-your-ground law. Under Florida's stand-your-ground law, the statute grants a defendant immunity from criminal prosecution. During a pretrial hearing, a Judge decides if the defendant is granted immunity. Zimmerman waived that hearing. The trial was about plain o' self-defense.
Marissa was sentenced to 20 years because the shooting didn't fall under the stand-your-ground law and she had a crappy lawyer. She left to get a firearm to fire those warning shots. Under the law, she wasn't in imminent danger because she left the threat.
