If you thought the Caley Anthony trial was a circus---just wait until the George Zimmerman trial.

I have no doubt that Zimmerman will be arrested. Manslaughter? Murder one? No idea...

But the trial will be a 3-top circus from start to finish---and God forbid if he is found innocent---as we all know, Florida has a penchant for letting the obvious guilty off the hook.

This could be either OJ or Rodney King all over again. I'm not looking forward to whatever comes out of the process.

in maintaining the dignity of the proceedings.

As to Florida "letting the obviously guilty off the hook" - you mean like Eileen Wournos? Ted Bundy?

or is this just a bit of Florida-bashing.

This Floridian who happens to live in the Orlando area is perfectly qualified to call the Caylee Anthony trial a God Damn circus that consumed local news 24x7.

What---you don't remember the crazy's that camped out at the Orlando courthouse day and night?

Dude--- Born and raised in Florida--- an original Cracker---

If I want to bash this crazy fucked up state I will fucking bash this crazy fucked up state.

and I disagree that it was a circus. As I said, I think Judge Perry did a great job in maintaining the proper atmosphere.

Of course, I don't consider folks crazy just because they lined-up to enter the trial. To each his own, I guess.

Of course you can bash this state all you like - go for it. I was just calling it like it is - just one more case of Florida bashing.

Come on man--- I'm not saying what happened inside the courtroom was a circus---I'm saying that what went on outside was.

Tours of the Anthony home--- The crazy's outside the court room--- the non-stop 24x7 news of the case---it was fucking nuts.

And here we go again with the Zimmerman thing.

BTW: Oviedo here---where are you?
