Wow, this guy really is the epitome of "Horrible Person".

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Not at all surprising. As I said the other day, I don't blame Trayvon for bashing this creeps skull in.

[King]

This has as much to do to the case as the marijuana in system allegations over Trayvon.  This witness's comments about racist attitudes of the Zimmerman family should be stressed more by the prosecution.

When a person becomes really hated by a certain group, you're going to see increasingly outlandish accusations. (Of course, they may be true -- but it's easier to accuse than expose).

He was on Hannity tonight (I didn't watch, but read tweets), and he stated that what happened was "God's Plan" and the he wouldn't change anything that happened that night. Somehow, I don't think it's smart to do an interview when you are up on charges like this.

Seriously.  I hope this POS rots in jail for the rest of his sorry existence.

Well, except we KNOW to a scientific certainty about the marijuana in T's system.  We have no idea if this cousin's years old claims are true. 

Moreover, the evidence we KNOW about could actually have some bearing on what happened that night -- on T's behavior before and after he first saw Z.

As a lawyer, I can tell you the lawyer's "rule" on this:  You only allow this kind of free-wheeling interview if (1) you have nothing left to lose or (2) your client is 100% innocent.

GZ is as guilty as the Duke Lacrosse Boys -- and for the same reasons.

Missing the point.

Did you notice that the accuser was George Zimmerman's cousin?

Who knows if it's true, but that makes them a good deal closer than the Duke hoaxer and the students.

I hear he also dresses up like Hitler and kicks puppies.

BRTD this is irrelevant to the class struggle, don't pay attention

[CatoMinor]

Regardless of if this is true or not this is completely irrelevant to the case.

So now that stupid interview could be used as evidence against him of course: http://abcnews.go.com/US/george-zimmerman-prosecution-tv-interview-evidence/story?id=16815296#.UAkDPpJmwYA

And considering his two previous attorneys dropped him due to him constantly ignoring his advice, it wouldn't be at all surprising if he did it entirely against the advice of his current attorney.

[Dr. Cynic]

Y'know, the more I hear about this, the more I wish Trayvon Martin had been armed.

[WhyteRain]

Meaning what?

Guns for minors.  It should be his right.

Generally, seven year olds whom fool around with six year olds are not labeled "child molesters."
Generally, one would say that Zimmerman stands accused of sexually assaulting another child when he was himself was a child.  I am amazed at the level of intellectual dishonesty Zimmerman's persecutors are willing to stoop to harpoon their white whale.

What about an eighteen year old fooling around with a sixteen year old?

The lengths some Republicans go to defend this guy is beyond bizarre.

This guy is a f**king creep. End of story.

All states that I'm aware of have "Romeo and Juliet" exceptions to their "age of consent" laws.  I doubt there are many states where 18 and 16 year-olds having sexual contact would be unlawful.

Generally, men at eighteen whom fool around with girls age 16 are not considered "child molesters." Another poster eluded to "Romeo and Juliet" laws that reflect this commonsense notion. However, sexually assaulting a woman at 18 entails certain legal jeopardy.  What's the statute of limitations in Florida?

If we were to take your querry seriously, what of the couples under 18 whom have sex? Is everything honky dory until one of them reaches their eighteenth birthday and becomes a "child molester?"

Language is being abuse to persecute the man.

Never mind that it was his own cousin and his moves on her were unwelcome.  Allegedly.

But anyway, it's generally your side of the political spectrum that imposes retarded, draconian variations of 'statutory rape' on our nation's youngins, not mine.  (Remember that 17-year old in Georgia who got 10 years for letting his 15-year old girlfriend give him a BJ?)
