IIRC Zimmerman had no prior (5.00 / 3) (#162)

convictions for assault. There was a DV case which did not result in conviction and which had cross complaints - both he and his girlfriend accused each other. Those are always subject to wide interpretations as I've personally seen. If there were other priors perhaps you could remind me.

If he is responsible for vile statements after his trial that is irrelevant to his trial. There was a rather extensive investigation by DOJ into whether there was any evidence of racism by Zimmerman in this event. DOJ found none.

I am interested in fair trials and that the system administer justice. Which is exactly which drew me to this forum: Jeralyn's insistence that the discussion of the trial be fair and avoid biased conjecture. I long ago had to put personal opinions and kneejerk initial responses aside to try to do my part in the system. I realize that objectivity upsets some but so be it.

Again your references elude me: Angela Lansbury? milk and cookies?
