Judge will allow past Zimmerman calls to police as evidence in murder trial

93. It does. 'Ill will.' And that opening statement from the prosecution matches this, too.

If the jury grasps the malicious way that Z regarded those he deemed suspicious, with his language repeated in court, they may convict him, although honestly I'm not sure how many options they are being given on conviction.

Some cases give a variety of choices, with degrees of murder, manslaugher or of negligent homocide. I hope that whatever they decide, will be a verdict that people can learn from about the right to walk around 'while black.'

But even if TM was not black, something needs to be done about the mentality that having a gun, or 'might makes right' which the NRA seems to promotes.

Z would not get off with me on the jury, as he didn't have to get out of his vehicle. His later defense he was 'afraid for his life' after he started something he couldn't handle without use of his gun, doesn't wash with me. This could have all been prevented, but Z felt entitled to get out and pursue someone.

His attitude is why TM is dead, not what TM did. That's an afterthought.

Gun rights folks that have backed Z, need to think twice, as he was acting as a hot head with a gun, not a responsible gun owner. Z is the worst example of a gun owner there is, his previous violent record should have not allowed him to carry.

The man was then, and more than likely still is, unstable and unwilling to take responsibility for his own or anyone else's safety, as gun wielder should be required, just like a police officer.

He's guilty in my mind, of what level the jury picks or prosecution has asked, I don't know.
