Florida only requires 12 jurors in capitol cases.
Which this is.
As I posted elsewhere ...
Zimmerman planned to kill someone that night. That's why he took a loaded gun with him. He stalked a kid whose only crimes were walking while black, wearing a hoodie in the rain and carrying ice tea and Skittles. He told the dispatcher he was stalking the kid. Later, he told the police he had stalked the kid and he told them he had murdered him.
The kid had every right to "stand his ground" and to defend himself but, of course, Skittles is no defense against a gun.
Since it was premeditated and since he confessed to premeditated murder, he should get the death penalty.
As to those who say its a hate crime, that he's a racist or that the kid deserved it because there are photos of him flipping the bird and that he smoked grass - bullshit on all counts.
Zimmmerman should be tried and punished on the facts of the case, not whether he's a racist or the kid was less than perfect.
