Exactly. Personally I thought Zimmerman was a horrible character. But I do defend his rights to defend himself and be treated fairly by the judicial system.
Many of posters here had Zimmerman convicted on day 1.
I wasn't part of that thread much at all prior to trial so I have no idea what kind of slap fights you guys got in during that time. I'll say, going into the trial I had no clue how screwed up FL law was and was not aware that prior actions didn't factor in to "fear for your life", so very early on,
I thought he was guilty simply because of his decisions to follow the kid around and he'd be held responsible for "starting it". Here in SC we have a very similar case getting ready to go to trial and it appears that the guy claiming self defense / SYG isn't going to be allowed to since he started the whole thing. In Florida, you can start a fight, fear for your life, shoot someone and walk. Early in the trial after learning all this I knew there wasn't a chance to convict. The law makes it virtually impossible when only one side of the story can be heard.
