Not an earthshattering Zimmerman question, but do you agree that

[senseandsensibility]

Zimmerman looks like he has gained ONE HUNDRED pounds since his arrest? This was mentioned several times during Martin's show on MSNBC today, both by Karen Finney and the legal expert. One hundred pounds is LOT of weight, and he doesn't even look that heavy sitting in the courtroom.

It was theorized that he had gained the weight on purpose to look less threatening to the jury. Don't know if that even makes sense, but he doesn't look one hundred pounds heavier to me.

1. Could also be medication...

Purely speculative.

2. He did gain a lot of weight.

It actually makes him look more threatening.

3. Also makes him look far more out of shape than he did in Feb 2012.

Makes me go hmmm....

9. Looks and Smells Like A Defense Ploy

Ah the poor fat kid is a victim himself defense, how could he cause harm when he has probably been taunted and bullied himself? He is fat and LIKES Skittles too. His defense team is full of third rate hacks.

11. Yeah strange.

I don't think he'd be chasing down punks now.

4. I agree he has gained a LOT of weight but not 100 pounds.

I also believe it makes him look MORE threatening because of the added bulk. It makes him even more of a contrast with the thin Trayvon.

5. Hes been in hiding....all he could do is eat....IMO

6. No, he doesn't look that much bigger to me

in fact, I think the weight makes him look more threatening.

[Just Saying]

7. I think he looks a lot heavier.

And strictly speculating I think it's possible he did it on purpose to look less intimidating.

8. 120 Pounds

According to his lawyer, Mark 'O Mara, George Zimmerman has gained 120 pounds. 'O Mara claimed Zimmerman did not gain the weight to look less threatening, but due to stress.

10. Could be stress...

...added to the lack of exercise from not being able to chase down unarmed teenagers.
