    Then the prosecution was going through evidence like a checklist and not trying to prove points. They could have be labored with the medical examiner how Travon could have been getting off Zimmerman in order to get a 90 degree shot. That should have went into more detail of how hard it is to just wash blood from your hands if its on their. Could have brought in pics of somebody with real head injuries and proved that Zimmermans was not bad at all. Proved how Zimmerman tried to make it a Fatal shot.....that's why he holstered his gun, because he knew their was no comming back from a heart shot. Belabored with neighborhood watch, the gun instructors on correct procedures of protocol. Instead prosecution zoomed right pass and just checked sum things off the list. And it seemed none of the witnesses were prepped. But Omeara made sur all of Zimmermans had their Lie ready of how they knew it was Zimmerman on the first listen. This case has conspiracy written all over it

    This court did all kinds of Tricks.....how did Zimmerman not use Self defense not to take the stand but then was able to use it as a guide for the jurors to make their decision. This juror comment saying she didn't know how big the case got and how much it means to people or things would have been different proves that they did things with a bias....Why does it take a public outcry for her to feel she should have done the right thing.

    The government needs to take action! Even learning more about the judge shows it was a dog and pony show. You tell me two jurors were gonna be dismissed and the judge made sure it was an all white female jury. The Bible says you must avoid even the appearance of evil.....Well the court needs to avoid the appearance of bias with an all white jury in a racial case as such. Race was a main factor, Zimmerman build up this animosity through the many obsessive calls he did on blacks, the obsessive talking about it with the lady who had her house broken into. Im 100 percent positive that when he took those MMA classes, shooting practices, criminal classes, he was thinking what he was gonna do when he came across a black.
