They fired a guy in IT after he let the defense know about evidence that was being witheld. Trying to figure out how that is legal.

the IT guy leaked it to the defense team. the state said they couldn't trust him anymore and fired him

The Zimmerman trial is another instance that shows just how corrupt our criminal justice system has become. It's not about determining innocence or guilt, but often about bowing to political pressure and winning cases at any cost.

Actually it is a testament to the high standard of proof that we hold in order to prove guilt.
I all honestly My opinions have changed regarding the Zimmerman trial. From the beginning I felt that Trayvon was racially profiled. But based on the evidence we really can't prove that. It's not against the law to follow people in the middle of the night with a gun in your hand. But it is against the law to punch people.

The more stuff that comes out about Zimmerman and his domestic incident, and telling cops that he is armed and not paying his lawyers tells me that Zimmerman is a somewhat unhinged individual who's looking for trouble wherever he can find it. So now I've become more doubtful that was ever about race.

He was getting beat up for 45 sec+, per the 911 tapes, and didn't shoot. Sure it was in his hand the whole time.:rolleyes:

People really should have watched the trial instead of Nancy Grace.

I watched the trial and you only have eyewitness accounts which are not 100% reliable, so none of us know with certainty how long that fight really lasted.

But it doesn't change the point I was trying to make. Whether the gun was in his hand or on his person, it doesn't matter because the point was that he was following someone while in possession of a gun.

We know it was at least 45 sec because of the 1st 911 tape before the shot.

It does matter. In his hand is illegal and implies he was looking to shoot. On his person just says he's armed, perfectly legal. My .02
