Thank God that the jury was sequestered!

I am so fed up with the obvious media bias towards Zimmerman. The should just rename HLN the George Zimmerna Network. And his friedn Frank Taffey makes me want to barf. I have to turn the channel every time he comes on.

Baking cookies. That child's life means absolutely nothing to them. He's a reasonable doubt. Sickening.

The bias toward Zimmerman has been unreal. I'm sure TV "news" is the same way.

I noticed a good amount of articles saying the prosecution has no case, Zimmerman was acting in self defense etc.

Just an observation I made.

thinks that Zimmerman is guilty. As I write this, Kobylt is making an impassioned plea to a caller that Zimmerman recklessly created the danger where something was likely to happen. This is an argument for a manslaughter conviction.

When even KFI supports Trayvon's side, I can't get too upset over a couple of Google articles.

I'm watching MSNBC and I haven't seen any pro-Zimmerman coverage. I assume that FAUX is pro-Zimmerman. Of course, CNN is simply unreliable so I wouldn't care about anything they had to say.

that snotty blond Z supporter talking head on HLN Mel Robbins wrote this shortly after case went to jury. Made a fool of herself
I noticed she was absent from the line-up tonight.......


Opinion: Jurors will sleep in their own beds tonight

The jury will likely return an acquittal in the George Zimmerman case Friday, and I wouldn't be surprised if they do so in time to head home for dinner tonight.The prosecution failed to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Case closed.

I've had the same opinion about this case from the beginning: It is a tragedy. No parent or child should ever face what the Martin family has faced. It seems implausible that a kid minding his own business, walking home from 7-Eleven would be shot dead and no one would be held accountable.
