Osterman: #GeorgeZimmerman "wanted to go straight through" the sidewalk T to get a house number. #TrayvonMartin altercation on way back.

Osterman: #GeorgeZimmerman was consistent that #TrayvonMartin mounted him, that he was the one screaming. #ZimmermanTrial

Osterman adds #GeorgeZimmerman could've said "grabbed for the gun," but thought GZ said "grabbed the gun." #TrayvonMartin #ZimmermanTrial

O'Mara: Book's version of #GeorgeZimmerman account based on memory from months later? Osterman: "Unfortunately I did not take any notes."

   Writing a book like this and didn't take notes?

I'm back!  Thank you, MuffyBee!

I try to stay away from this case.  My opinion of this case hasn't changed from what it was in the beginning.  I don't think Trayvon was as innocent as he has been portrayed by some, and I don't think Zimmerman is 100% innocent either.  I don't like Florida's "stand your ground law".   That said it's my belief that it's sad that Trayvon died but I don't think a crime was committed by Zimmerman given the "stand your ground" law.  I do believe that Zimmerman was a cop wannabe and may have been over zealous.  Trayvon may have been a bit "cocky" and probably confronted Zimmerman.  The whole thing is sad but I don't think a crime.  I think Zimmerman will likely walk. 

My belief is this trial is a waste of the states money. 

JMOO

Klaas DITTO!!! I could not agree with you more.

It is a sad situation for all involved and a waste of money. There is a reason why this case was not originally prosecuted and Zimmerman arrested and charged with a crime. The prosecution was forced into this because of the fear of being called racists. This is what happens when you allow mob rule. Not only was Zimmerman first not charged, he was then over-charged.

What I hate most of this case is those that make a living off of keeping races at each other's throats win.

I do feel terrible for Trayvon's parents, no parent should have to bury their child. But the painting of both Martin and Zimmerman as being angles is ridiculous. Two combustible  individuals came across one another and in today's society, instead of cooler head's prevailing on both sides, there was an altercation and some one died. It very easily could have been GZ who was shot and TM could be on trial.
I can only hope that the jury goes by the evidence and not any notions of riots that may occur if they come back with a "not guilty".

Had Trayvon been alive today and GZ killed it is very likely Trayvon would be in jail awaiting sentencing right now.
