BDLR said he's won 78 of 79 murder cases before this one. Wanna bet his loss was also someone clearly innocent? MOM said it appeared to him that BDLR cherry picked cases with a ton of evidence against the defendant, and cases where the defendant didn't have the money to put on a good defense.

That's how BDLR has so many wins.

THIS YEAR'S DUKE LACROSSE CASE

This week, instead of attacking a Hispanic senator, Marco Rubio, I will defend a Hispanic citizen, George Zimmerman, on trial for the murder of Trayvon Martin. (Zimmerman would make a better senator.)

It's becoming painfully obvious why no charges were brought against Zimmerman in this case -- until Al Sharpton got involved. All the eyewitness accounts, testimony, ballistics and forensics keep backing up Zimmerman. We should send a big, fat bill for the whole thing to Sharpton, courtesy of MSNBC.

With the prosecution's witnesses making the defense's case, the inquisitors' last stand is to claim that, if the races were reversed, the black guy would have been instantly charged with murder. As explained in The New York Times:

"Had Mr. Martin shot and killed Mr. Zimmerman under similar circumstances, black leaders say, the case would have barreled down a different path: Mr. Martin would have been quickly arrested by the Sanford Police Department and charged in the killing, without the benefit of the doubt." (Also, CNN could have dropped the "white" and referred to Zimmerman exclusively as "Hispanic.")

The people who say this are counting on the rest of us being too polite to mention that it is nearly impossible to imagine such a case in a world where half of all murders and a majority of robberies are committed by blacks. To reverse the races with the same set of facts, first, we're going to need a gated, mixed-race community, similar to the Retreat at Twin Lakes, that has recently experienced a rash of robberies by white guys. The only way to do that is to enter "The Twilight Zone."

Mark Steyn: Zimmerman case's legal absurdities astound

Just when I thought the George Zimmerman "trial" couldn't sink any lower, the prosecutorial limbo dancers of the State of Florida magnificently lowered their own bar in the final moments of their cable-news celebrity.

In real justice systems, the state decides what crime has been committed and charges somebody with it. In the Zimmerman trial, the state's "theory of the case" is that it has no theory of the case: Might be murder, might be manslaughter, might be aggravated assault, might be a zillion other things, but it's something. If you're a juror, feel free to convict George Zimmerman of whatever floats your boat.

...

So the prosecutors decided, the day before the case went to the jury, that Zimmerman was engaged in an act of child abuse that had somehow got a bit out of hand: no "credible witnesses" to this charge had been presented in the preceding weeks, but hey, what the hell? Opposing counsel, taking the reasonable position that they'd shown up to defend Mr. Zimmerman of murder and had had no idea until that morning that he was also on trial for child abuse, check bouncing, jaywalking, an expired fishing license, or whatever other accusation took the fancy of the State of Florida, asked for time to research the relevant case law. Judge Debra Nelson gave them until 1 p.m. At that point, it was 10.30 a.m. By the time the genius jurist had returned to the bench, she had reconsidered, and decided that "child abuse" would be a reach too far, even for her disgraceful court.

...

Knowing how Bernie and the state can operate, the concern should be how many of the 78 may be innocent.

I wonder if any of these idiots were also involved in #occupy protests in Oakland???

I think the Trayvon foundation should collect funds to buy new TV's for TM supporters, the scheme team, Rev. Al, JJ etc. and all talking heads, including attorneys, who still think George is guilty. Apparently the volume on their current TV's didn't work during the trial.

Obama's sons in action -- photographed and on video, but no arrests made.

He he as tempting as it is to gloat, I really haven't. It is nice to feel vindicated though.

He he as tempting as it is to gloat, I really haven't. It is nice to feel vindicated though. How many times had I told them there is no evidence of George being the aggressor...and even the pro-prosecution judge agreed. Or told them that the gun shot was angled inward a smidge...then the foremost pathologist in the country agreed. And so on while their legal 'experts' continued to make themselves look silly.

If they had paid attention to me, Jello, Flgirl, etc...they wouldn't be so heartbroken right now as they would have seen this just and proper verdict coming.

Another bright spot (in addition to finding RT and all the wonderful people here!) is that Trial By Media lost - and they lost BIG.

Honestly, I am too mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted to gloat. And I cannot set aside the reality that Zimmerman's acquittal, while its importance is immeasurable for him and his family, is but a minor skirmish in a huge war ahead of us.

The willfully ignorant, the lazily misinformed, and the ideologically biased will continue to think and to believe what they think and believe. They are immutable, and we will never change them. That's why I refuse to engage them. It is a waste of time to wade into the fever swamp.

Let us rejoice and praise God for George Zimmerman's acquittal. And then let us pause only long enough to catch our collective breath, and recuperate our energy and will for the next battle.
