Yes, I was worried there for a bit ....as all the talking heads were making it sound like the prosecution had proved its case........when in reality, we watched about 95% or more of the trial and had to go with self defense.
Especially after seeing that young mom Olivia who lived in the same development and had to cower in her upstairs bedroom with her infant son while two young men broke into her home and stole her property. Had she answered the front door, who knows what would have become of her and her baby. It proved to us that there was "fear" in that neighborhood and that perhaps George was being hyper vigilant.
In our opinions anyway.
Depending on who the "anchors" or television hosts are, it was not looking good for George. Not being privy to Florida television news, we had no idea how big a controversy it had turned into.
It's sad a young life ended so tragically, however, we feel George Zimmerman did feel threatened that night and who among us knows how we would react in the same situation with our heads being pounded into the pavement. Just a chain reaction of both lives coming together at the wrong time.
We thought both closing arguments (the defense and the prosecution) were weak and too long winded. We simply went on the trial proceedings.
Did anyone read that the young man had said to George:
"Tonight you are going to die".....?????
Was that allowed into testimony? I'm paraphrasing it ; also, no one would have heard it but George Zimmerman.
