This entire thing was completely a media driven event. I mean, come on! The media insisted on posting pictures of Martin ONLY as a 12 year old! Make it look like Zimmerman had murdered some little kid coming home from running his neighborhood lemonade stand. When I first saw those pics and read that Martin was 17 years old, that's what threw red flags on the field for me. Without knowing any facts about the case at all, I could see where that Zimmerman guy was going to be railroaded into court by a racially charged media event.

Seriously, if he is acquitted he should sue the media conglomerates for the damages he had to go through financially because of their part in this circus they created.

Oh, and then there is the Castle Doctrine Law. http://laws.flrules.org/files/Ch_2005-027.pdf

776.032 Immunity from criminal prosecution and civil action for justifiable
use of force.—
  1. A person who uses force as permitted in s. 776.012, s. 776.013, or s.
    776.031 is justified in using such force and is immune from criminal prosecution
    and civil action for the use of such force, unless the person against whom
    force was used is a law enforcement officer, as defined in s. 943.10(14), who
    was acting in the performance of his or her official duties and the officer
    identified himself or herself in accordance with any applicable law or the
    person using force knew or reasonably should have known that the person
    was a law enforcement officer. As used in this subsection, the term “criminal
    prosecution” includes arresting, detaining in custody, and charging or prosecuting the defendant.
  2. A law enforcement agency may use standard procedures for investigating
    the use of force as described in subsection (1), but the agency may not
    arrest the person for using force unless it determines that there is probable
    cause that the force that was used was unlawful.
  3. The court shall award reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, compensation
    for loss of income, and all expenses incurred by the defendant in
    defense of any civil action brought by a plaintiff if the court finds that the
    defendant is immune from prosecution as provided in subsection (1).

So is this trial SOLELY to determine if Zimmerman was within the boundaries of this above mentioned law, or is this case itself actually in itself a VIOLATION of that law?
