2nd Degree murder charges is pretty typical on cases like this. Once the court date starts we will see the actual evidence. One thing for sure is the the special prosecutor could not charge him on 1st degree is because the evidence proves he did not just run up to Trayvon and shoot him as the media and his parents have been claiming. Now the prosecutor has to prove Zimmerman killed Trayvon without good reason, such as his defense will be selfdefense in a life threatening situation. Now the burden is all on the special prosecutor to prove that Zimmerman's life was not in danger as Zimmerman claims and evidence leans towards so far. One thing is for sure, the special prosecutor would have not taken this case if it wasn't for so much media that has so far been very misleading. This is a dog and pony show. If they were truly for equality for all, where are the marches for the racial attack on the Baltimore man a few weeks ago who was beaten, robbed and stripped of his cloths by a group of blacks. Of the white child who was burned alive by the two black teens who hurled racial slurs at the child. It all happened around the same time as this shooting happened yet no one knows about it.

Read the comments by many blacks as they claim this white man is to make up for the sins of all white men. Who says black folk are not racist? Many blacks claim this... that they can't be racist or be found guilty of it even if they are. Sad. Many black are confused the reaction and comments of so many other blacks as they are starting to turn into the thing they hate the most. Racists.

The media has a thing to point out victims who are black but if they are white they say nothing. Yet if the criminal is anything other then black they point it out. Look how hard they tried to convince us for 4 weeks the Zimmerman was caucasian. They even printed in a few major stories he was a white racist then when it came out he was all along a hispanic. Then they covered their tracks with "white-hispanic". Please... they are making up words to show white this and white that... when will they ever address our president as white-african American? They won't... even though he is 50% white. Again, media race bating. No word from the NAACP on those two cases and calls for justice.

I Wonder “if” we are Aware of the Miscarriages.
I am a soon to be 52 year old black male but I’m not sure if that counts for anything anymore. The reason for my discontent is that we live in a Nation where racism is still a major topic and a topic that many shy away for fear of reprisals and insults. The Trayvon Martin case, I watched the case play out on CNN like most of you for a couple of days and then I having enough turned it off. I have served on jury duty so I have some experience with how our system works in trial cases. The jury is given instruction as to the law and how it is to be applied to the case. The prosecutor and defense submit there best case by arguing the evidence, slandering and embellishing the particulars and try there all to sway the jury to there side. The truth of the case, facts, logic and reason has to be found in those few and undefined moments. You as a jurist have to pay close attention to what is being said, testified too and validated by and then weigh it by the law. The law in this case is, Self Defense “Stand your Ground”.The Law.
According to the rule of law, if I were older than you, bigger than you, more dangerous than you because I carry a loaded gun with a permit and oh yeah one in the chamber and I was following you a young black male while you were on your way home and you at some point come face to face with the one who has been following you and you having enough or just scared turns and faces your stalker who then has the right to claim stand your ground? Trayvon was never a threat to Zimmerman, he was not at Zimmerman’s home, was not approaching Zimmerman’s property, had not committed a single crime against Zimmerman (not walking a straight line in the rain is not a crime yet for black men) was not following or pursuing Zimmerman and was not carrying a gun loaded or otherwise. Question; who then has the right to protect themselves? Who then has the right to be fearful? Who then should “stand your ground” apply to? What more should Trayvon have done? he was just trying to get home out of the rain but because he put his hoodie on to protect himself from the rain and the glares of Zimmerman, “he seemed to be wavering” quotes Zimmerman; maybe Trayvon being scared didn’t want this person to know where he stayed. Maybe Trayvon summoned up some Joshua courage and stood his ground not wanting it to follow him to the steps of his mother and fathers house. Maybe his father taught him what my father taught me, don’t ever run from bullies, one carefully placed right hand to the nose and they will coward. Times are different now, some men and most boys coward quick, revert to guns as there fist because they are too scared to take a butt kicking. It would be a total miscarriage of justice for anyone to believe that only Trayvon would have the legal right to claim self defense/stand your ground
