Or might it be the way that they look at their kids for behaving like teens or that they don't want to acknowledge that they're getting older?

Considering the murdered kid was in his teens and the murderer is 28, that's not a "little" younger. He already acknowledged to the police that the kids was probably in his late teens.
I, honestly, think its based on your perspective. People say "late teens early twenties" when generalizing all the time. All the OP, and people like him/her are trying to do is find more ways to demonize him.

If you look at the whole picture either way this case goes the rest of America is screwed. Either he'll do time (whether he deserves it of not) and it will prove that the justice system breaks under pressure, or he wont do time and there will be riots and some people will loose there lives. Sad fact.

You should call her with your eye wtiness testimony. Even their lead investigor said under oath he had no evidence to prove Zimmerman wasn't walking back to his car. So they could really use your evidence.

And maybe Nancy could throw in her NW quotes from around the world, and Evenstar could add her super secret tox screen results that haven't been released. Thank goodness for the c-d attorneys for keeping the world safe.

I don't understand how could he be walking back to his car when the body was found between two buildings. This means that he was still following Trayvon between the buildings and trayvon was not stalking him

Go figure.........
It's puzzled me for weeks...Zimmerman is all that some would normally despise: mixed race; unable to hold a job; someone who'd assaulted a police officer; someone with difficulty taking "personal responsibility" for his actions. Who knows what motivates someone to idealize a person like that.

Pretty much anyone who conceals a gun uses hollow point bullets. They are safer to bystanders because they will not pass through a target or wall as easily, and they are more effective at stopping a threat since they impart more of their energy into the target. There is nothing illegal or wrong about using these. I seriously doubt the judge would allow this evidence to be used by the prosecution to infer a culpable mens rea on Zimmerman's part. It's just stupid frankly.

It's silly when people who obviously have little to no knowledge of guns get sensational and hysterical about terms like "hollow point rounds."

Perponderance of evidence is what wins circumstantial cases.

I think it's all about THE GUN.

Notice how many of Zimmerman's supporters here also have this weird need to carry concealed weapons everywhere they go, even into department and grocery stores? Some have even proudly posted pictures of their own handguns so we can oooh and ahhhhh over them.

I think Zimmerman is just their poster boy for gun rights, especially the right to conceal and carry (because Obama wants to take them away, you know) and it really has nothing to do with justice for a dead kid.

Since nobody has figured out how to read minds yet, there is no proof he lied about anything. When you are not directly asked a question, how could you lie?
