    ....The 36-year old juror of Puerto Rican descent said, "I was the juror that was going to give them the hung jury, I fought to the end." But she said her emotions were at odds with the evidence and "that's when I got confused."

    In the end, Maddy said that although Zimmerman had been charged with a crime, "if you have no proof that he killed [Trayvon Martin] intentionally, you can't say he's guilty."

    Roberts then asked Maddy if the case should have even gone to trial in the first place and the juror replied, "I don't think so... I felt like this was a publicity stunt."

    She nailed that one! Notice NBC dropped that narrative and went with the murder trick.

    Murder is murder even if there is a law saying that particular murder is legal ... that does not make it right or moral. In Nazi Germany it was legal to put to death Jews, Gypsies, the mentally retarded, etc. but that did not make it right or moral.

    We will never really know what really happened that night. Would Trayvon Martin had also had a pistol and had killed George Zimmerman, would he also have been innocent because he felt threatened and used the self-defense plea under the Stand Your Ground law?

    When facts don't cooperate, play the "what if ---" game?!?!

    What if Martin had been a suicide bomber; then all this conjecture would be moot, as there would be no bodies to victimize OR prosecute!

    What if, what if, what if -------.

    This game is endless and as long as it keeps the focus off the ZERO & all his bumbling we'll see the "what ifs" continue!!

    Hi, CTB! For the record, the Stand Your Ground Law was not a factor in this case. It failed to be brought to trial because it was considered self-defense. The Chief of Police was fired in Sanford because he thought that there was no case. Angela Corey bypassed a grand jury and withheld evidence from the Judge and the Defense. Liberal Democrat Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz told the New York newspapers that Angela Corey acted unethically and illegally. Now she may get away with her activity but it may be bad for her career and her hopes of a political future unless she is given a federal job by Obama for her services. Z has been acquitted but some are saying that he will never get a job in the USA and his parents, siblings, and attorneys are receiving death threats. Aren't you glad that you are not living in the USA?

    You have your facts wrong Stand Your Ground had nothing to do with this case. It is best not to pay attention to the racist NAACP or this racist President. They will steer you wrong every time.

    Murder is never ok according to the word of God. For a killing to be murder it must involve malicious intent to kill an innocent. Killings such as self defense are not defined as murder. Remember, Trayvon was the one trying to murder George.

    The overwhelming evidence showed that it happened just as Zimmerman testified it happened when interviewed no less than three times.

    You mean in this case as the evidence revealed it was Trayvon who jumped George and was trying to beat him to death? If that is what you mean then it would not be self defense for Trayvon, the aggressor, to pull a gun and kill George, that would be murder.
