Are the early judges still so sure?

The above is an early post. In light of facts that have recently surfaced, I wonder if the people who convicted Zimmerman on the basis of the initial news reports are still so sure.

Night of the "murder?" There goes your credibility.

Maybe pics and detention records being unearthed is why the media is easing off. Too bad the perpetrators of the real injustice sharptird,Jerkson and farakastan should take heed.

That be the thug on the right side ...

I am attaching Trayvons facebook photo alongside the photo of him as a 14 year old that the media has been using and the photo that the President had in mind when he said he looks like he could be my son. I wonder if the President had the facebook photo would he have made the same statement.

Who cares what he looks like....... Sounds like some profiling going on here in this forum. When I was stationed at Camp Pendleton we had a Marine killed near his home in LA. He had on the pants that hang down on the but, earring, gold crown on his teeth. Was portrayed at a Gang Member right off the bat.

That is until people got to know who he really was. A hard working Marine, Father, and got killed helping out someone else. Stop complaining and calling names. The media and Presidential candidates fill the air enough with all that mess.

Besides I am sure there is enough to worry about in TV, besides how he got a gold grill. UNBELIEVABLE makes a man want to barf

I can only speak for my posting of the facebook photo.

The reason it was posted was to show the bias by the news media in continuing to post a photo of a 12 year old which is in no way representative of the 17 year old that was involved in this incident.

Didn't a school guard stop him at one time and find he had a screwdriver and a bag of assorted women's jewelry in his back pack?

I'm on board with the questioning of the rush to justice concerning this incident but let's not get carried away.

The only photo known to be in fact Trayvon Martin, other than the photo of a young Trayvon the family handed out, is the one where he's sporting the "gold grille" from his Twitter account. The other photos haven't been authenticated, and the crowd photo purported to show Trayvon was debunked, and Michelle Malkin even had to apologize after publishing it after she was duped.

We need to stay with the evidence and keep things in context.

You are correct. I should have said homicide. That's what the lead investigator called it, and I'm guessing he knows more than "the experts" on this forum.

Homicide is absolutely the correct word here, Jan. I don't think any of the "experts" on this forum would have a problem with that.

The question that needs an answer now is; was this a case of "justifiable or excusable homicide"?

Is it just a coincidence that the police chief and the prosecutor were both taken off this case after they overruled the lead investigator who requested an arrest warrant from the Seminole County State Attorney's Office?

"A Sanford police incident report shows the case was categorized as 'homicide/negligent manslaugter' " which is not the same as justifiable or excusable homicide.
