moved out of state. In the present atmosphere I keep wondering when someone will bring out the ice cream kiosk or the hot dog kiosk at the foot of the courthouse. Too many backsides are being covered by the police department. Instead of the lovely place to go to get out of the cold of winter FL has become the second home of the mafia.

It could be moved to a different part of the state. Or they could do what they did in the Casey Anthony trial, that being to bus in jurors from another part of the state.

being somewhat over the top but even my sister who has lived in FL for 30 years wants out so bad. House has been "on sale" for almost 2 years and she is about to go batty.

Love the nature. Love the weather. Hate the politics.

Dysfunctional as it is, though, I'm staying to the bitter end. No desire to move back to the cold again.

They have witnesses who heard the fighting. Use this location where the fight broke out and use the location the body lay to verify this witnesses statement. Bring on the trial.

It creates doubt about Zimmerman's side of the story. Zimmerman claims Trayvon was sitting on top of him and slamming his head into the sidewalk when he shot him. It's a little hard to believe Trayvon was crying for help at the same time he supposedly was attacking Zimmerman.

A witness, a young Black male (probably 13 yrs old) is being trotted out to the media. He recited, erm ... stated, that he saw the "fight" and Only saw one guy on the ground ... (pause) ... he was wearing a shirt ... (pause) ... he was wearing a 'red shirt'."

Now over-looking the convenience of this suddenly available witness being a young Black male ... I must say, listening to this kid ... I do not find him credible.

Now maybe this is the result of the interview films' editting, where the reporter editted out his questions; but the kid reminded me of that kid in the grade school/middle-school play being feed his lines by the teacher in the wings.
