Can't even turn on my TV - thankfully since I live where I do my TV intake time is small - but like I give a crap about what the witness's sister's aunt's friend who walked a dog that used to be owned by her friend's uncle that bought a used car from this guy over here who's connected to the case this way thinks about blah blah blah OMG shut the hell up already!

>>This "trial" is not news. Arrests are news, decisions of trials are news, the pre-trial pontification and day-to-day recap with "opinion" from all around serves nothing more then to agitate and press people into side-taking so they will keep their eyes on the "show" rather than actual news. How can justice be blind when 24-7 images demanding how we're to think are broadcast. This particular case is a trumped up distraction to keep the politically blinded rallying to their side while ignoring the vastly more important. Namely the destruction of their country, liberty and privacy in the face of the greatest State intrusion into people's lives in the long sordid history of tyrannical government. One can tell how important the violation is by the reaction of the politicians. Namely, the current crop who can't agree on ANYTHING including the most mundane farm bill, came forward after the NSA revelations and effectively told us to "calm down".

We may not agree what happened or about the result of the Zimmerman case, but like the juror who was interviewed said, you look at the evidence and apply the law as it is written and this is the result. Now the logic and chain of events, and what could have been or should have been done is entirely a differently matter. It could have been so easy for things to have turned out differently with no one hurt.
