Only taking the perspective of GZ does not sound like justice to me.

Incorrect. We can only discern GZ’s perspective from his numerous police statements and reenactment. I don’t know anything about his perspective other than what’s in the record. The jury considered that information, the physical evidence, and the perspectives of many other witnesses, and received an interpretation of the evidence in the light most favorable to TM from the prosecution. Many news outlets also speculated and prevaricated on behalf of TM to no avail. You don’t like the result. I understand. But to pretend only one “perspective” was presented simply does not pass the smell test.

I think Robert’s main point is we are missing TM’s perspective which is true.

A first year law student can win a case with one main witness dead. Jose Baez said it was a case for the defenseto lose and he was the defense attorney for a very well known case.

It’s not justice, Robert. Not by any means.

Trying Zimmerman with fabrication and speculation is not justice. He has already been tried by a jury of his peers with all the facts and evidence available and he has been found not guilty. Justice has been served.

I agree with the verdict with TM dead. That was predicted by Jose Baez. He said a first year law student should be able to win this case.

This could have been prevented and need not happen again. I highly doubt it will.
I highly doubt anyone will want to be out at night in the dark and rain without their own weapon in case they encounter someone else with a weapon they’ll have some form of self defense…

(In states that allow this of course)

Sadly, those fearful people would not be able to arm themselves if Robert Sock had his way.

But, John Edward, the psychic, can get Martin’s perspective, right? 😃

Yes, but I don’t think the prosecution would have wanted it. Would you have wanted a “victim” that admitted he attacked a person without cause or provocation to testify?
 
Perhaps some on this forum, or someone, has lost a loved one in a gun accident from an irresponsible gun owner. That might be the same type of thought they don’t want to share personal information regarding on this message board as those that may have defended and were able to save their own life, or that of a loved one, or that of another citizen with a gun.

Just food for thought. The other side of the coin.

Mary.

I think that was the case anyway, since the prosecution had instances of their witnesses testifying and the result wasn’t at all good for their case.

At least perspective would be gained and that is of enough importance for some that there has been much speculation and various manufactured scenarios presented as if said speculation and scenarios were reality.

We don’t know if he attacked a person without cause. Yes I would like TM here to testify.

John Edwards is still a lawyer and opening his own law firm. Isn’t it amazing in 1985, he could hear a baby being born in the womb speak to him for his malpractice case yet he is pro choice.

The firm will be based in Raleigh, North Carolina, and will focus on plaintiff work, the source said. Before entering politics, Edwards was a nationally known attorney who specialized in representing plaintiffs in medical malpractice, personal injury and product liability lawsuits, earning millions.
