This shows how far out of the loop I am, I just heard of this story today.
After reading up on it, I was convinced Zimmerman should be charged. But after finding out Trayvon has been suspended 3 times, and was once found with stolen paraphernalia in his back pack, I'm not so sure that he's entirely innocent. As I wasn't there when it happened, I honestly cant say what happened, and at this point it's all "He said She Said".
What I can say is that Zimmerman should definitely be banned from Neighbor Hood watch as he did go against their rules. On top of that, I think if this does go to trial, at this point you honestly would have a hard time finding an impartial jury. I just hope no one lays hands(save for the police) on Zimmerman, as that would just spiral this out of control.
I don't know the law, but wouldn't a polygraph help clear some things up?
Also, the Media seems to be doing what they do best, and sensationalizing this. If this situation had been between two white people, or two black people, I doubt it would get this much media attention.
Either way, I hope justice is served, if Zimmerman is guilty he deserves the time. Also, I wish the best to the Martin family, and I hope Trayvon is resting in peace.
