Oh, I get it, now that Zimmerman has been convicted, he's more Mexican than white now?

I still claim him. He's a POS no matter what his race is.

Can he work a deal with prosecutors to get something lighter? I'm totally going off of what I've seen on Law and Order here.
Absolutely... A prosecutor who thought they had a weak case could offer a manslaughter deal with no firearm finding and plea the guy out to 5-10 years. But with the press this case has received, I think it unlikely we see anything other than a jury trial.

Prosecutors, judges, police officers... they can all catch a lot of heat when a case like this is plead out, because inevitably people aren't going to think it's enough, or they'll think it's too much. They'll catch it from both sides. If they can pass the buck off to 12 anonymous people who don't have to be elected, then they can just say, well we did all we could and the jury decided it.

I think you can fight against white guilt better if you laugh at the media for this Mary j blidge burger king thing.

Or these 2 tweets by NBA reporter Chris brousard:

Just saw back 2 back commercials featuring a black man dressed in drag (Barkley) & a black man dressed in kiddie pajamas (Tracy Morgan)...

Just sayin

So the media simultaneously portrays black guys as thugs and adorable sillies?

Ol Zimmy's lawyers quit.

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout...y-hold-press-conference-4-30pm-203437097.html

Zimmerman's attorneys announced they have "lost contact" with Zimmerman and are withdrawing as counsel
Attorneys say they still believe former client is innocent and acted in self-defense
Engage in heated discussion with the press, say Zimmerman is "victim" of press attacks

In a highly contentious press conference, attorneys Craig Sonner and Hal Uhrig announced they have withdrawn as counsel for George Zimmerman, who remains under intense scrutiny for the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

"It's no so much that we are resigning. It's that we cannot continue to represent him until he comes forward," said attorney Craig Sonner.

Zimmy's judge did too

I have a feeling Zimmerman is going to get railroaded, regardless of his guilt or innocence.

Then again, all this protesting might be opening a rift between blacks and whites. So who knows. But the media exposure can't be good for his chances.

Judge quits Trayvon Martin case, cites conflict


ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The judge presiding over the Trayvon Martin shooting case has removed herself after George Zimmerman's attorney said she had a possible conflict of interest.

Florida Circuit Judge Jessica Recksiedler recused herself Wednesday because of a potential conflict that relates to her husband.

He works with Orlando attorney Mark NeJame, who was first approached by Zimmerman's family to represent the neighborhood watch volunteer.

But NeJame declined and referred them to Mark O'Mara, who is now representing Zimmerman. NeJame has since been hired by CNN to comment on the case.

Judge Kenneth M. Lester Jr. will preside over the case.

Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder for the Feb. 26 shooting of the 17-year-old Martin. Zimmerman said he shot Martin in self-defense after Martin attacked him. Martin was unarmed.

If he would have listened to the 911 operator, he would not have been assaulted

By the way, that picture looks doctored. Is it from a credible source?

Yes. And DCU is the first to get it.

Kinda like when cowboyszone was the first to know that Dallas would be signing Mario Williams.
