Dude like about 100 people get murdered every year there. I can't find the conviction rate but I'm pretty sure it's pathetic.

police dont convict, i have never heard or read a story about someone getting shot and the cops just absolving the shooter on the spot based on their 'word'.

Well no doubt he should have been to the police station or arrested immediately afterwards.

The poor dead kid has been Rodney Kinged. Who he is doesn't matter anymore. It's all about what he represents for someone else's purposes and agenda.

Especially considering he admitted to murder. Whether or not it was a justifiable homicide can be determined in a court of law.

Yet another reason to avoid the news. I can't even watch local stuff anymore without seeing someone becoming this great cause. Whether it's birth control, or Health care or whatever. It's become a cycle of grandstanding.

I don't know. I just feel that the slight details in this case don't really make it all that exceptional or warrant a national shitstorm but whatever.

Aren't police obligated to arrest someone if they have reason to believe that person has just committed a felony?

I'm not entirely sure, but generally they do. Most PD's can hold a suspect for 48 hours before even charging them. So it's not like making an arrest would have tarnished the Zimmerman guy, considering if they didn't see evidence to bring charges they could just release him.

No-one bothered to mention that Zimmerman has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder?

You'd almost think people were only interested in the initial scandal...

how does shooting an unarmed kid after being asked by the law to step down constitute as second degree murder?

 

[Red]

Not sufficiently premeditated?

I'm not that familiar with exactly what the different degrees of murder constitute.

 

[ALC]

because first-degree murder is premeditated. he didn't plan on killing the kid before that night.

 

[Enron]

In Florida 2nd degree murder doesn't require a grand jury indictment, it won't be a capital case either, and you don't have to prove a motive of premeditation. So it's a smart play by the prosecutor, but not a done deal conviction as pursuing manslaughter would be.

 

[ALC]

That's true. I was thinking it would be a lot easier to be proven not guilty in this case.

 

[Enron]

That's true. I was thinking it would be a lot easier to be proven not guilty in this case.

It's still difficult, but one can assume there is evidence we're not privy to.

 

[ALC]

Could be, but just looking at the current evidence available, it does look easier to be proven innocent, especially with a good lawyer.

What evidence available? Aside from witness possible statements, 911 calls, etc. We have no idea as to the extent of evidence collected by investigators. That stuff isn't public record.
