Re: Trayvon Martin Case
 

Anyway, he got away with murder. I Imagine if he had shot a dog or himself he would be in jail. I reason their should be some murder convictions appealed due to this ruling. The civil litigation is gonna be a beast. I would hate to be in that Home Owners Association, they are about to kick out some millions in the upcoming wrongful death suit. Besides, the fact Zimmerman was acting as a neighborhood watch may put him reach of the Feds. If so, he still might face penalties.

Hispanics "claim" themselves to be white when it's convenient. He's biracial, his dad is white. Zimmerman isn't a Hispanic name. Many biracial people flip-flop on their race as convenient. Check with your human resources manager.

Re: Trayvon Martin Case
 

what will happen to George Zimmerman now?

The NAACP says they are going to appeal the ruling, and also introduce measures to remove the stand your ground law from every state.

Does that constitute double jeopardy? Can they try him again for maybe a lesser crime??

Federal crimes realated to being a "safety officer", wrongful death suits, etc. He was aquitted of murder and manslaughter, but he killed an unarmed person.

The HO Assoc. has already settled for an undisclosed amount thought to be in excess of $1M.

[quote]Robert Taylor, founding partner of Taylor & Carls P.A., a law firm that represents homeowner associations but has no connection to the Retreat at Twin Lakes, told the Orlando Sentinel that the settlement did not mean the association admitted any wrongdoing or liability. Taylor said the decision to settle was most likely a business decision.

“It’s really nothing more than a risk-versus-reward analysis,” Taylor said.

...

“It is understood and agreed that the payment made herein is not to be construed as an admission of any liability by or on behalf of the releasing parties; but instead the monies being paid hereunder is consideration for avoiding litigation, the uncertainties stemming from litigation as well as to protect and secure the good name and good will of the released parties,” said the language in the settlement.[/quote]

No racial profiling there.

If you ever want to be sure of finding a bigot in the room, just find a mirror.

The most clear and concise statement of the case against Zimmerman.

Joe, PM me your paypal info so that I can send you enough to buy a six pack of your choice. You deserve it with the legal knowledge and verbal beat down you've bestowed upon people in this thread.

Re: Trayvon Martin Case
 

Thanks for the offer NC Skns. No need. Saden1, I am not collecting on the bet.

While I am convinced the verdict was legally and ethically correct, it does not change the underlying fact that an avoidable tragedy occurred. Rather than gloating or raging over the verdict, let's move forward - black, white, Hispanic, green with purple polka dots - and try to increase awareness and understanding so that our differences can become our strengths not our weaknesses.

[B] Roddy White @roddywhiteTV

All them jurors should go home tonight and kill themselves for letting a grown man get away with killing a kid[/B]



Then you have dumbasses like this. Not the first time Roddy White has said something incredibly stupid. I think the Falcons need to have a talk with this moron.

In fact, athletes should really shut up about it unless they've watched the proceedings. My guess is the only one that has is Stephen Curry.

Stand Your Ground wasn't argued or introduced as far as I know so why does the NAACP introduce it?

If you trusted the justice system to find a man guilty, you must trust it when it finds a man not guilty, or it's just partiality you seek[/B]
