Movowelling;355821 wroteI'm kind of stealing a comment from Bruce Arthur, but there now exists in Florida a template to go out and hunt young black kids and not fear any reprisal from the law.
This is the kind of nonsensical reasoning/commentating that leads to riots in the streets, when cases as charged as this one conclude.
Movo was right about Zimmerman, though. He may not be going to jail, but he is never going to be "free" any more.
I like the Scottish court system, at least in terms of it's possible verdict. There are three possible verdicts for any criminal case:
Guilty
Not Guilty
Not Proven
I have not followed the trial, but one of the things I do recall early on was the speculation that prosecutors had over-reached with a charge of second degree murder. I am left to wonder if a "guilty" verdict might have been returned on a lesser charge, like say Manslaughter. OR, if they had the option, the jury might have returned a verdict of "Not Proven" instead.
