Florida prosecutors will charge Zimmerman, hold trial

[tailfins]

....which might be exactly whay they chose the Murder charge... gives him a better chance of being found Not Guilty once all the evidence is publicly aired?

Involuntary Manslaughter is a lesser included offense to second degree murder. He could me charged with second degree murder and be convicted as involuntary manslaughter as a lesser included.

Unless Z is lynched/killed/life in prison we'll see riots, looting ala rodney king verdicts.

[Mr. P]

Yep, no doubt, it'll be interesting watching this unfold.

I agree. The ONE thing I KNOW for sure is...the RACE BAITERS won't be happy regardless of the outcome. Just sayin

[Anton Chigurh]

They will accept a plea to a lesser charge, the strategy of 2nd degree murder is, you bypass the grand jury which might no-bill, and you appease the "justusbots" out there.

If he doesn't plea out they risk acquittal or outright dismissal for lack of evidence. This never sees a jury.

I'm shocked. They completely forgot to charge him with a "hate" crime.

So many people are going to need their anti-depressants now.

That's the federal civil rights beef, that's coming later.

Will it be dismissed?

The prosecutors must prove Zimmerman's shooting of Martin was rooted in hatred or ill will and counter his claims that he shot Martin to protect himself while patrolling his gated community in the Orlando suburb of Sanford. Zimmerman's lawyers would only have to prove by a preponderance of evidence — a relatively low legal standard — that he acted in self-defense at a pretrial hearing to prevent the case from going to trial.

There's a "high likelihood it could be dismissed by the judge even before the jury gets to hear the case," Florida defense attorney Richard Hornsby said.

How many times was Martin shot? How many times did Zimmerman fire?

After reading what has been presented in the various news formats, I side with Zimmerman. If it even goes to court, it will be to delay the riots. They don't want them starting too soon.

Timing is essential.

But, all the 'justus' bots really want is a arrest on a charge that has the word 'murder' in it, and a perp walk. They don't really care about the truth of the matter.

What they want are riots in every American city and a race war that will bring about martial law.
