Premeditation being the distinction...not intent.
I'll be interested to see how the prosecutor arrived at the charge because, there's nothing in the public record that points to murder.
We'll find out. I do agree with you it's pointless to pick sides. I'm just glad he'll be tried for ending a life. If he was right to do so, then he'll be cleared.
I'm OK with that.
Watched the entire special prosecutor press conference on line.
IMHO just a fatter Marcia Clarke.
Hopefully we won't get the topless vacation pictures.
, a stadium full of black panthers couldn't scrape together 10 grand.
Based on what? Her resume looked very impressive.
You have a dead kid and a guy in a trial for his life...you aren't supposed to be smiling like you just won the lottery.
c'mon cowboy, you didn't think thats funny?
Stellar comment. Way to stay with current events, Leno.

...That it doesn't sound like pre-meditated?
That's what she was charged with. So far they aren't charging him with manslaughter.
It still needs to be changed. Z being brought to trial doesn't change the fact that the stand your ground stuff is fundamentally flawed.
What "sounds more like this crime"?
Good luck finding a jury you have to prove anything to, I don't know how they'll find people that can listen to the evidence objectively. Zimmerman was criminally negligent and knowingly put himself in a position that was dangerous...but intent to kill is hard to prove given the evidence in the media so far. That doesn't matter tho, Floridians are pissed that Casey Anthony got off and they don't want to look bad so I'm sure they'll crucify Zimmerman in her place.
Hopefully the story starts to go away now that "the people" feel like they might have had an affect on this case. The way they -guzzled this story when far worse crimes are committed amongst minority communities and by law enforcement agencies shows how stupid "the people" are. No one would have cared about this if the dude wasn't tagged "white" and that picture of a little boy isn't used. Maybe Zimmerman will shoot himself first and then the story can go away and I can get back to watching funny MSNBC news shows again.
lol justice
Zimmerman's been charged with what's normally called "depraved heart" murder. It could be equated with gross recklessness. At trial, either the prosecution or defense can request jury instructions on lesser included offenses. In some jurisdictions, voluntary manslaughter would qualify as a lesser-included of second-degree murder (in capital cases, it's required as an instruction). Assuming Florida follows this model (and I don't know if it does), either side could request this instruction and Zimmerman could still be convicted of manslaughter, implicitly acquitting him of any murder charge.
That remark leads me to believe that your mind is made up and you already feel he is not guilty. I know you are being sarcastic but damn.
Belated
You are making declarative statements on the law when its obvious you obviously have no expertise. Is that better?
Stellar comment. Way to stay with current events, Leno.
I also only watch TV on the DVR for sports. Everything else I DL. I take it as a good thing that I am not up on TV pop culture.
All the cards haven't been turned over yet.
Based on the ones I have seen I'm betting not guilty.
I'm a decent poker player but I lose hands all the time.
You're guilty of lame comedic trolling
But the state is saying that this isn't 'stand your ground'. Why do you want to change a states law you don't live in? Unless you do live there.

Legislators say the statute is overbroad and has been used in unintended ways. Prosecutors say it's preventing them from doing their jobs. I understand letting a state control their penal code, but this law seems like it's hindering justice. Someone can take an interest in that without being a Floridian.
Will?
Where have you been?
