talkpoliticsI'm kind of surprised that we haven't had a post about the Zimmerman trial over the last few weeks, but the jury enters its second day of deliberations today, first full day. We could, theoretically, have a ruling today on the case.
A few links for those who may not have been following closely. I will happily add any other recommended sites for daily analysis of the case if they're posted in the comments.
FROM THE RIGHT:
* Legal Insurrection.
FROM THE LEFT:
* TalkLeft.

Maybe? I think that might have been the cartoon community.

Date: 13/7/13 16:45 (UTC)More to the point, why on earth would you confront someone who is armed if you're not? Not really relevant to the legal issues at play, but that's pretty stupid if that's what you think happened.

Date: 13/7/13 17:07 (UTC)Is there evidence other than Zimmerman's testimony that supports that?

Date: 13/7/13 17:33 (UTC)If so, then there is equally nothing to support the idea that Zimmerman had his gun effectively concealed when confronting Martin.

Date: 13/7/13 18:35 (UTC)You assert, perhaps correctly, that there is zero evidence that Zimmerman brandished his weapon at any point. If so, it logically follows that there is likewise zero evidence he had it effectively concealed until discharge.
Citing the evidence would be an effective rebuttal, I'd think.

Date: 13/7/13 17:30 (UTC)Exactly. He had no choice. I can tell when someone is packing fairly easily, its not at all a certainty that he didn't know Zimmerman was armed.
