Surely, you jest
. I have modified nothing. My original words:I don’t see how you could have interpreted that as Fox doing the ‘spinning’, when I made it clear that the lawyer was the one telling the tale! Was the ‘spinning’ done on Fox? Yes. Not sure what you see as erroneous in either of my posts.
Sanford police did not arrest GZ because the prosecutor at the time declined to file charges. Appalled or not, you are still not that someone.
Oh my, I did say that! I’m very sorry!Well, thanks for being clear. Hang him regardless of evidence!
At this time Zimmerman isn’t charged with anything.You saying there Corey should never have charged Zimmerman?
Race peddlers have emerged on both sides of the coin.
I’m saying that he deserves his due process and absolutely should not be charged simply because people want it.TM’s parents say that the police simply took GZ’s word for this without looking at any other evidence or witnesses. They were too “premature.” They did not conduct a “full investigation.” Which, if they had, would have lead maybe to an indictment, maybe not----but there would not be the uproar there is now. (They never looked at the enlargement of GZ’s head “injuries” while he was at the police station----also they never taled to some wit nesses and TM’s girlfriend, for instance.)That’s what TM’s parents have said they simply want the process to take its course.
There IS a dead person, after all. Maybe it WAS self-defense, maybe not------but it was arbitrarily decided that it was self-defense without looking at ALL the evidence. If somebody shot to death your son, YOU would want an investigation, right? Especially since the police apparently (maybe, maybe not----that is to be determined) did not look at all the evidence?
They also feel that in most of the rest of the world (according to them and others) GZ would have at least been charged and then the orcess would go from there.
TM was, after all, armed with Skittles and Iced tea and GZ was armed with a gun.
Also they say that they accepted at face value the idea that TM attacked GZ first and that his “wounds” (according to their interpretation) was accepted as truth without digging deeper.
They also feel that, while they can’t say absolutely that GZ is a “racist,” he DID at least “racially profile” TM and that may have lead to his death.
I’m sorry, but even I say that police are not perfect and make mistakes and don’t look at all the evidence. Many simply “don’t take thier word for this.” Especially since there is evidence that GZ has a history of questionable behavior towards cops and minorities (yes, I know he’s Hispanic. So am I, BTW) and of “paranoia.”
You saying there Corey should never have charged Zimmerman?
The only “witness” that could refute it is dead. Remember?
Trayvon Martin was an eyewitness.
Yes, being dead and having made no statements tends to mean that he is not a witness.
Yet if someone had not killed him,
Due process is the legal requirement that the state must respect all the legal rights that are owed to a person. If he isn’t charged with a crime, due process doesn’t apply.
My deepest apologies. I thought you were uncharitably accusing Fox of spinning. I obviously misread.Surely, you jest
I don’t see how you could have interpreted that as Fox doing the ‘spinning’, when I made it clear that the lawyer was the one telling the tale! Was the ‘spinning’ done on Fox? Yes. Not sure what you see as erroneous in either of my posts.
It’s not strange at all. Death is a fact of life. Biologically, one is always silent after death and killing someone always is effective in silencing them.
Let’s not be uncharitable.
Sorry if I misinterpreted.Oh my, I did say that! I’m very sorry!
FWIW, I did not mean it literally, just figuratively in regards to his due process.
There you go getting all lawyerly on me.
It doesn’t? So, the state doesn’t have to respect all the legal rights, if they are not charged with a crime?
Accepted. No worries.
Tripping up a lawyer, are you?It doesn’t? So, the state doesn’t have to respect all the legal rights, if they are not charged with a crime?
That’s a stretch. Last I checked even people killed in self-defense or by accident can’t act as witnesses.
Yes, and only when it applies to taking away their individual liberty, I mean arresting them… according to some.It doesn’t? So, the state doesn’t have to respect all the legal rights, if they are not charged with a crime?
