It is not working in court.
It IS working because it is not going to court.

George Zimmermans former lawyer doesn't even know his former clients name. In his press conference today he said 'George Martin' twice.
Maybe that is why you should meet with your clients face to face.
Correction....3 times....but he did finally catch himself on the third.....goodness. lol

Never carry a gun unless you are willing to use it. It's not a toy to be macho.
Guilt is a self imposed emotion - - - if you can't justify within yourself killing someone - - - don't carry a gun.

if treyvon never attacked zimmerman
then zimmerman would of had no right
to shoot him. The fact is per say the eye witness
they DID see treyvon attack zimmerman..which is not hearsay
THEY SAW it happen
Trayvon defenders are still hook on his 13 year old picture, they still can believe that little boy could attack someone, GUESS WHAT PEOPLE Trayvon's behavior prior he even been in Sandford FL was a behavior of a thug, bully and starting criminal. He got what ANY White, Black, Hispanic, Chinese thug was looking for........ 6 feet under

i could totally justify killing someone but you arent human if you dont feel a sort of remorse for taking anothers life.
no matter how evil the person may be. everyone is some mothers child.

Thanks for the kind and thoughtful response. I'm so sorry you had those experiences. I have been fortunate not to have been in or experienced those things.
I have always been able to hold my own when it comes to physical violent exchanges. I have been a top level boxer starting from the age of five....I'm 41 now and life has thrown me many physical issues. I can't protect myself like I used to and that prompted me to look into items that would allow me some form of comfort in that area.
I didn't wan't just a gun as my only for of defense because it could be inappropriate or escalate the confrontation.....so I got fox FOX pepper spray.
As for the knife thing I get that from my grandfather 91 in 3 days. I have fond memories of Christmas sitting around the tree handing packaged presents to my grandfather because he was the only one with a knife. That long lost memory inspired me to become a knife guy. I have many for daily use usually over 3.5 inches for their ability to handle any cutting job including food prep. I collect knives and only buy the best but the last thing I want is to be in a knife fight....nobody wins....

Hey guys, I watched hannity tonight, anyone else watch it?, quick question..did you guys see the news reporter he was talking to, she had blonde hair?, she said something that caught my attention, she said she spoke to GZ the day after the shooting but I thought that it took a while to even report the death to Trayvon's family?, did it make local news before the family was notified or did she mess up on her dates.

I don't want to respond to your post with the same sarcasm and ugliness so I won't.
We all have the right to defend ourselves. I carry different forms of protection to deal with different types of threats. I have half a lung missing and can't fight or run like I could when I was 30.
If I was threatened my first thought would be to withdraw from the encounter, It's the mature way to deal with these things....however if the person was reaching for a sidearm, club, bat, pipe I would draw my own sidearm. If I was being provoked into a fight with no way out I would use my pepper spray....etc.
I can't pass judgement on what happened in Florida because I don't know all the facts. If the innocent armed man was in a tussle on the ground and the attacker was attempting to obtain his sidearm I would consider that a direct threat to my life and protect myself appropriately by using deadly force.
I love my Arizona rights to carry openly, concealed without permit..the ability to carry any type of knife including automatics and large edged weapons. I feel it's a right everyone in the states should have.
