IANAL, but theoretically, I’d think yes. He would still be a black youth, though, and facing all the inherent racism in the legal system of the area, but unless it was an all-white jury, I think he’d have a decent chance of getting the same result as GZ at trial.
Wasn’t there a case around the same time as Zimmerman where a white youth attacked a black man with a knife? If I remember correctly the black man shot the youth and was subsequently convicted of murder.
Without a lot more details, I wouldn’t consider that to be predictive.
Details aren’t really the same, but the biggest difference I see is that it’s a different state. So, I’m sticking with “not predictive” for what would have happened in FL. And I wouldn’t accept ThingProgress’s interpretation at face value, either.
If you want to point out that blacks and whites often receive different treatment in the court system, I wont argue with that. That’s one reason I stipulated a jury that was not all-white.
IANAL as well, but it seems the Floridians may have discovered trial by combat. The winner is innocent!
Bwahahahaha. How fucking stupid can you be? Is that the best you can do? That’s so sad.
Any thoughts on the life and times of George Zimmerman? Anything? Anything? Bueller?
Yeah, sure. He’s stupid, too.
He’s right, though. You are pretty fucking stupid.
I’d post my thoughts, but someone would probably get pissy that we’re rehashing this for the 301st time.
You think I’m pretty? Really? That’s so cute. And creepy. If you don’t wish to discuss GZ, why are you discussing GZ? If you are attempting to control what other people can, and can not, be said in this thread about GZ, you’ll have to produce your Pope Of The Internet card and stamp your foot much harder ,or people will ignore your attempt at control.
Show, don’t tell.
Posts like this are the reason everyone thinks you’re stupid.
Or, to put it constructively: Stop being so fucking stupid.
Bwaahhahaaa. You think he’s fucking!
Well, if he is, you think he’s fucking smart?
Relatively speaking? I don’t see how he couldn’t be.
Any woman who is in a relationship with him is not smart.
What a incredibly stupid thing to say.
Aw, you were doing so well.
I have faith in you, sweetie. You can troll better than that. Maybe try bragging about fucking his mom or something?
I am unashamedly stealing this.
Doorhinge is an epic moron. Just wanted to add that.
