And I bet in the same breath you'll tell me Zimmerman was a racist.


Maybe not a racist.  A murderer, though.

I think the prosecutor has aimed too high with the murder charge, and he is most likely going to be acquited.  Really, if you wanted to charge him with anything, and have a good possibility it would stick, it would have to be involuntary manslaughter.  As it is, she is going to have to prove without a shadow of a doubt that Zimmerman was the sole agressor and Trayvon was only defending himself.  From what we know now, there is no evidence that proves that.  And in the affidavit, there was no mention of new evidence.  Just basically a different view of the events that happened. 

I will say this, Trayvon's parents are not going to like this process.  From the beginning they have tried to make their son out to be an innocent boy, with the 4-5 year old pictures and the interviews saying he was just a good kid.  Of course, since then things have come out that show that isn't the most accurate picture.  What do they think Zimmerman's defense lawyer is going to do in court?  He's going to start looking seriously into Trayvon's background, and there may be some more things there that don't paint him in the most favorable light.  Things that may have been on his Twitter and/or Facebook before his parents deleted his account.  Such as the one Tweet from his cousin about Trayvon taking a swing at a bus driver.
