This, however, is the court of public opinion, where no such standard exists.
I believe Zimmerman committed 1st deegree murder, and no hand-wringing about Zimmerman's rights, or how the public is abusing them, will not convince me otherwise.
Without a single scrap of hard evidence which clears him, and a veritable shitstorm of evidence which implicates him, suggesting to the public that the public is being unfair towards Zimmerman, is unreasonable.
