So?; the state's attorney thought it prudent to do further investigation. Maybe you should be writing him. It was his judgement.

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

homicide legal definition of homicide. homicide synonyms by the Free Online Law Dictionary.

You're absolutely correct Richie. This is where the focus should be and not on civil rights activists and the media nuturing and encouraging the "guilty in the court of public opinion" mentality for 'supposedly' honorable reasons I won't go into here! All the distraction going on is making true justice nearly impossible, wither it's for Martin, Zimmerman or anyone else for that matter!

This kind of statement makes an assumption that an officers opinion is always 100% perfect and in truth they are no more or less perfect that the rest of us are. That's why there has to be checks and balances, especially in light of their jobs being frequently emotionally charged and occasionally their judgment hampered because of it. They're needed to determine if the charges are correct and to make sure that any evidence has a decent chance of holding up in court. If I were wrong, would there be any chance of incidents like what you'll see happening in this video?

Why didn't you post it? 2005 sounds like old news to me.

"True facts" is redundant. If the statement is true, it is fact. If not true, it cannot be a fact.

This is interesting. The news logo is in the way part of the time though.
 
Trayvon Martin Case: Police Video Shows No Blood, Bruises On George Zimmerman After Killing

Advogado 03-30-2012 01:46 PM

Why doesn't everybody just wait for the facts?
 
As forensic experts have pointed out, the video proves nothing. Yet the linked website's report (Huffington Post) is typical of the media's treatment of the incident. It is good to see, however, that the media's lynch-mob attack on Zimmerman is becoming more restrained as more facts emerge.

In the above-cited report, the Huffington Post headlines the killing as a "tragedy". IF Zimmerman's account proves to be true, many people might use a different adjective.

Think George Zimmerman and the condo association will be paying dearly for this killing.All of the people in those condos will be sued.Geoge was the head honcho to call about crime in that condo complex.Did not see anything coming out of that police car,that he was hurt. Just a stroll into the police station. No blood, no nose problem like he says was broken. He really screwed up big time.Hope he gets what he deserves killing that teenager. Just someone playing he's a cop.

billethkid 03-30-2012 04:11 PM

there is no opportunity to "wait for the facts"....the media just will not tolerate such an intelligent choice. Just look at the circus the tried to revive yesterday with the so called Zimmerman...did you see any lumps or bumps tape. And then interviewing anybody and everybody except the guy in the sewer asking what did you see?

Absolutely irresponsible....school yard level reporting.

Also notice their indiscriminate use of the word alleged. Which is usually used with even an event on film showing a shooter shooting. Regarding Zimmerman they rarely if ever use alleged. However last night the reporter said they were viewing the most recent tapes to see if the alleged broken nose and broken scalp could be detected.

Pure racist, biased, baiting reporting (is there any other kind?).

British parents of 2 young white tourists who were brutally murdered by a black assailant who was miffed that they didn't have much money and then shot them multiple times as they begged for their lives, tried 3 times to get a response through letters from Obama.

I guess there was no political upside for him.
