Zimmerman to be charged in Trayvon Martin case

Now all we need is 12 people who don't have internet or t.v. for a jury.

He contacted Hannity and the prosecutor, that's not hiding.

The law firm clarified that they have not dropped him, but they are not in contact with him (obviously making it hard for them to represent him).

he never hired them to begin with

Its amazing that the New Black Party is putting up flyers all over Sanford Florida with zimmermans picture on it behind crosshairs.
Title says wanted dead or alive. You certainly don't hear a word about that from sharpton, or jackson, or the media.
I'd be in hiding too.

That's OK, Zimmerman doesn't have any civil rights to be violated.

At the rate we've gone after him in Amerika, I think he'd have an excellent case for political asylum in a country with a less corrupt media and "justice" system.

I fail to see how that says something is not right with him. I certainly would not say that it is evidence against his case either. Unless you wish to dismiss the concept that there is any other reasons to stop talking to your lawyer and get a new one, other than because you are guilty.

"The announcement comes a day after Zimmerman's attorneys said that they were dropping the case because their client had stopped communicating with them. (On Sunday, Zimmerman launched a website seeking donations for his legal and living expenses.) According to Corey, Zimmerman had retained a new attorney "within the last hour.""

Sounds to me like hes got a new lawyer.

Fact is, none of us were there, none of us got to watch as whatever happened happen that night. you can say what you want, have your opinions and speak your gut, but the guilt or innocence of either persons involved in this matter are not you decision to place; thankfully we have a judicial system that at least will try to remove the bias and blatant one sided media focus from the verdict.

All i am seeing is that one man was shot by another, and the surviving one is claiming self defense, and the media is lighting the torches for a gigantic race fight claiming that the dead man is technically a minor, and the shooter was out for blood. And i have to note that all the pictures of the deceased i have seen on t.v. and in articles are at least 3-4 years old. couple that with how the words they choose to use are different depending on which side of the case they are talking about; i gotta say they have clearly taken a side.

And maybe i have taken a side. If the guy is guilty, then it is because he shot with the intention to kill, not the intention to stop an attacker and protect himself. at least the way i see it, it is as simple as that. You can argue until the cows come home, that the shooter was a vigilante or fancied him self a wanna be cop; you an even argue for the minors side too. but that is not what the focus should be on, the focus at the end of the day is WHY the trigger was pulled. nothing more matters.

Is it just me or did his prior counsel throw his ass under the bus? I mean if they didn't want to represent him, fine when he does call inform him. But call a news conference and broadcast it to the world? Attorney/client privilege much? Douches.

And it seemed top me that the smile on the prosecutor's face today was just a bit too big. Seems like she went out of the way to emphasize finding "justice for Travon" and how "sweet" his parents are. We got a dissertation on how important her role is and how good her prosecuting attorneys that she assigned are. I'm afraid it's gots the looks of a witch hunt IMO. Hopefully some real facts will come out now whatever they may be, but I'm not holding my breath that this guy will get any semblance of a fair trail.

Riots in the FLA and elsewhere if Zimmerman is acquitted or mistrial. Don't want to see riots, but I am calling it right now.

It's not just you. Either the "former" defense counsel's press conference is a defense strategy (and a poor one), or they just violated attorney client privilege and a host of other ethical standards.

The press release by the special prosecutor is a disgusting aberration. You don't get justice for a dead person, you seek justice for the community. She knows that and this is more political grandstanding. Zimmerman is a lamb to slaughter in the system right now, regardless of whether he broke any laws. They're going to stop at nothing to find him guilty regardless of the facts now. One of the cornerstones of our "justice" system is being destroyed in this case. He's been tried and found guilty already. I weep for this country.

Pretty much.
