Does anyone watching this still believe in the justice system?
No wonder so many poor blacks are in prison.
The prosecutors lie, twist the facts, ignore the law, take evidence and testimony out of context, connive, cheat, ambush...and we call this the "justice" system???
What a joke...
speaking of that--How did GZ manage to find Mark O'Mara to represent him?
I avoided knowing much about this trial until it was inevitable.
O'Mara certainly seems to be top of the line. I can google.
eta: meager results--

He certainly sounds like he has spent time in the NE.

Yes--it is difficult to have confidence in the justice system after a day like this and historically there have been many.
I suppose Sean Hannity will have some encouraging words. 'Let not your heart be troubled'.
Something is so seriously wrong--that is all I know.
I really don't know how Zimmerman and O'mara found each other, maybe someone else knows the answer to that.
This is the first trial I was interested enough in to watch (or listen to) from opening to verdict.
My former faith in the integrity of the system is shattered.
Presidency corrupt, congress corrupt, business corrupt, unions corrupt, police corrupt local government corrupt and now adds justice system corrupt.
I, unfortunately, have listened to several--too long--however long that is. Then I stopped.
Decided to try again. This seems to be an exceptionally bad example of all that can go wrong--only my opinion.
Maybe some of the wrongs can be corrected but it seems like something out of the 60's in Mississippi---if that is the intent then the Federal government needs to get involved. I am talking out of my head--some say this began in DC--DOJ.
What then--I hope somebody knows.
~~~
I can only assume that O'Mara comes from a family with legal background. CT or MA--Yale, Harvard. A bit of JFK? Maybe.
probably wrong--He reminds me of a doctor I know. 'That sort of person'--manages stress in a way that is inconceivable to me.
