I'll say it again. Before it's over, it'll be "the gun went off accidentally"



Watch.

That's the strategy in having everybody else speak for George but not George himself. Sending up trial balloons to see what sticks, all the while infecting the jury pool.

I think hate radio and hate tv are steering them wrong by trying to convince people that their story is reasonable.

It is not. Quite frankly it is ridiculous.

He's already come up with quite a few, but I'm sure there are more.

The accidental gun firing is a good lie for him to come up with.

believe him. Then they'll point to the "liberal media bias" coverage of the case to show he was right to presume that people wouldn't believe the truth.

He didn't mean to shoot him. (But Trayvon kept screaming so loud...)

And George was simply trying to get the gun back to save Trayvon's life, when it went off.

Why not? It's just as believable as the rest of the crap they're feeding us.

I'll have to say it long and loud. Guns don't just "go off" somebody has to squeeze the trigger.

It might reduce the charge he's convicted under, but it would nullify the SYG defense I would think.

Either it was an accident or he was in the right. Hard to play both sides.

time. Going down for manslaughter is a lot better than 1st degree murder.

When you're holding a gun, you're responsible for the direction of the barrel.
