The official said that authorities know where Zimmerman is.

If you have a spare GA, please PM. Billy is still looking.

Cartoons have a great way of taking an event & make a point of it. I'm all for having guns but keep them at home or at the range. No need to bring them out in public.

If Casey Anthony is any indication, the crazy media focus on the case could actually favor Zimmerman in his trial.

I predict a not guilty verdict in this modern day lynching.

Yeah, I think they're gonna be hard-pressed to find a jury that hasn't already made up its mind as to his supposed innocence or guilt...well, as unbiased as any jury could be.

Casey Anthony... OJ Simpson... media coverage is NO indicator of the result of a trial as far as I can tell.

Lynching involves someone being killed. Only one person has been killed in this case.

+1 Let's remember who the people we should feel really bad for are, i.e. the dead kid and his mother.

It's AN indicator (social media plays a part too - the older Zimmerman couple, anyone?) ...but, I was talking about general bias.

I don't think it will be fair as there does seem to be a lot of racial issues which often confuse dumb jury members. He's just another crazy person with a gun; nothing will change.
