Fuck, I want Zimmerman kicked in the nuts and THEN convicted! But his lawyers are doing what attorneys do ... ie: vigorously defending their client. As far as I have seen, the defense has violated no canon of ethics, nor done anything that would result in their being sanctioned. So can we please focus on the facts, those facts being that a would-be cop who couldn't make the grade followed an unarmed teenager because he didn't like the way the kid looked, and wound up killing him?
But please, enough about the lawyers.

I do agree that they're just doing their jobs, though.

(733 posts)the charge of murder 2 or self defense.
Don't expect the trial to do other than adhere to the law. Talk Left has a forum of lawyers who are explaining what the rules of evidence, what murder 2 means. This will give you a good idea what the prosecution is up against.
