"Reasonableness" is a tricky word, but we can agree that "beyond a reasonable doubt" is a much higher standard than the "preponderance of evidence" standard but is also not "beyond all doubt" or "beyond a shadow of a doubt."Originally Posted by Guisslapp
And that juror just confirmed that after all the deliberation, they ultimately all focused on the seconds before he pulled the trigger and the fact that he reasonably feared for his life or significant bodily injury. They made the right decision for the right reasons, despite the prosecution doing their damnedest to obfuscate the issue for the jury. Originally was 3 not guilty, 2 manslaughters, 1 murder 2. The jurors all ultimately agreed after applying the law to the facts.
Jordan Mills on choosing Tech:
“It’s a great experience seeing them play. It was a good atmosphere. The fans stood up the whole game and never sat down. They have a great fan base.”
You're right, Zimmerman is going to sue the crap out of NBC for defamation, and he will probably win or at least settle for big bucks.
And then gets hit with a Civil Rights suit case and loses all of it.... No way the administration lets this one ride.
I hope Zimmerman doesn't decide to shoot NBC out of fear they will do him harm.
I disagree; Holder said we are "investigating", he said that just to appease the base. The likelihood of federal civil rights charge is almost nil
Hope you are right.
Interesting that the administration would want to investigate this to ensure justice for the victim while it sees no reason to investigate Benghazi.
I hope you are right.
If NBC come to Florida and bashes his head into concrete, I'm sure he will.I hope Zimmerman doesn't decide to shoot NBC out of fear they will do him harm.
No disrespect intended but you aren't arguing off of facts. You are arguing based on pure emotion right now. You have NO IDEA what happened that night. Neither do I. Neither the prosecution nor the defense proved anything. You are forming an opinion off of VERY limited information. Considering the media has made numerous mistakes and flat out lies that is a dangerous thing to do. I'm not saying I know more about this than you. I'm saying no one really knows enough to determine whether a murder occurred. Just recently I read about a 17 year old boy in S.C. who was sleeping in his car. For no reason whatsoever an African American walked up to the car and emptied 4 rounds into the kids chest. Was there any media making a big deal out of it?? Of course not. Because accusations of racism get better ratings. Don't fall for the medias tricks, you are better than that.I hope Zimmerman doesn't decide to shoot NBC out of fear they will do him harm.
Based on many of woofies' posts, I don't think he is "better than that." This series of WRONGO! posts are par for the course for him.
You must not know very many dog lovers.But none of what Vick did and what you mentioned is worse than killing a human being.
In reference to the 17 yo white boy that was killed, I don't think you can make a comparison as to why that case didn't get the attention that TM case got. I don't know the facts, but I'm sure in the North Carolina case the suspect was arrested and charged early on without any public call to do so. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that it would have gotten the attention. The reason the TM/GZ case got as big as it did, is because he wasn't arrested until nearly 2 months later after the whole nation (geographically) was clamoring for his arrest and charging. In the future, if something like this were to happen again, I can see a person getting arrested and charged just as a procedure with the charges being dropped some time down the road to be sure tempers cool.
Yeh, this case was much more complicated, and that was a large part in its popularity. No doubt the racial aspect of it was blown out of proportion by the media, but the case's complication is what drew people also.
We as a nation have got to start holding the state run media accountable for their BS lies and spins to get press, make political points and $$ at the very risk of our nation. Their huge part in this is incredibly undeniable. Where is the media per the 1000's of black men killed in Chicago the last few years for goodness sakes? From the article I posted above by Ben Kinchlow:
"More blacks were murdered in the U.S. in 2009 alone than all the U.S. troops killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars to date. These figures do not include the more than 400 young black men slain in Chicago just since the Zimmerman-Martin saga began.
Can someone perhaps enlighten me as to why the national media, NAACP CEO Benjamin Jealous, Rev. Sharpton and other black community activists are not demanding an in-depth investigation into, and justice for, these black victims?
Maybe it is because the dead were blacks slain by blacks, as it appears that in every white/black scenario, blacks can do no wrong and must be exonerated. Right, O.J.?"
