Zimmerman charged with Second Degree Murder

[LastVoter]

Spade, would you go for a trial by judge (if that's an option in FL) or a jury, assuming no plea bargain is achieved?

I think the jury would be scared as hell to acquit, but a judge might look strictly at facts, not sentiment or be influenced by fear.

Interesting question (to me).

They'll probably be trying to get a jury who doesn't know / hasn't paid attention to the case in the media.

Good luck.
