You may think the system worked, but i can't see how.
I haven’t had time to listen to all of the interviews, but I have a few thoughts on what I did hear. My first impression is that GZ is taking no chances on the self-defense claim. Trayvon was threatening his life in no less than three ways: (1) TM was repeatedly smashing GZ’s head into the concrete until GZ felt that his head might explode, (2) TM was holding one hand over GZ’s nose and one hand over his mouth (no DNA or blood transfer?), and GZ was smothering, and (3) TM saw GZ’s gun and was going for it, uttering a death threat to make sure that his intentions were unambiguous. Overkill, much?
By “straddling,” did GZ mean that TM was sitting on him or standing over him, presumably leaning down? If the former, then how could TM have possibly seen the holstered gun? His legs must have been covering much of GZ’s torso. And it was dark.
I am struck by how much conversation there was after the gunshot. GZ claims that TM sat up and spoke to him, after having been shot. He appeared so animated that GZ felt it necessary to restrain him by sitting on his back and holding his arms out to the side (how was it that TM was found with his hands underneath his body?), and he asked the neighbor who came out to help him restrain TM. Could he really not tell that he was dead? It seems unlikely that TM would or could have done anything other than grunt and collapse after such a wound, but I am certainly not an expert here. Why would GZ make this up, though?
It is clear from the tapes that GZ was feeling some aggression (they always get away, f*king punks, etc.) Trayvon was strolling home talking to his girlfriend. But we are asked to believe that suddenly the two exchanged attitudes, with TM becoming the aggressive one and GZ the pussy cat.

I hope none of you are followed by someone, with a gun. Seems to me like GZ played judge, jury and executioner.
GZ had the right to be "innocent until proven guilty", but TM was "guilty before he could prove his innocence."
what double standards ??
What's with all the double standards?

There goes another one of those scripted words: "Attacked". All based on a known criminal's word.
Here's another example of how well the system works.
"As much as we were trying to find this man guilty…

So basically, the consensus is that in America, murder is ok, as long as you don't get caught?
