Not guilty

It would had been a travesty, had the jury had produced a guilty verdict. As it was predicted the jury found George Zimmerman "Not Guilty". I really feel that while the prosecutors violated the rules of discovery by not sharing all information found in Trayvon Martin's phone records the judge should level up with contempt or some disciplinary action against the State Attorney's office, if she really wants to convey that her court means business and it really ensures the defendant a fair trial. I mean, it is widely known that prosecutors get away with all kinds of violations that usually affects the outcome of a trial and in many cases, wrong convictions have sent inocent people to prison. I just saw, as part of the breaking news of the not guilty verdict in the George Zimmerman's trial and Pierce Morgan interviewed Robert Zimmerman Jr, brother of the now free George, and I feel that this young man very eloquently said some important things that have been on my mind and I'm sure, aldo in the mind of many others, and that is; when is the black community look itself in a mirror and stop crying "unfair", "racists" and other charges whenever a black person is killed or victimized by somebody who is not of the same skin color. I am not racist, but what Robert Zimmerman said is true. There have been murders and homicides by the tenfold in Chicago alone, and we don't see the black leaders of NCAAP or Jesse Jackson, or the Black Panthers calling for justice or calling for vengeance. On the other hand, when the perpetrator is not black (or negro, or african-american, whichever term is more fit or political correct), they call it "profiling" or "racism" and immediately incite the black community to raise hell about it. Why is it that those same leaders don't call George Zimmerman a local hero for helping and mentoring other young black children to succeed in school?
That and other questions should be in the mind of those asking for George Zimmerman's head.

What say the jury?

Am writing this on the eve of the jury of the George Zimmerman's murder trial in Sanford, Florida.
The verdict is now in the jury's hands.
When this tragedy took place more than a year ago, my perception of it was that Zimmerman was truthful when he claimed to have shot Trevon Benjamin Martin -of only 17 years of age- in self defense. The media, afterwards turned it into a circus as is usually the case. A day or two after the incident, the black community was up in arms claiming that race had been a motive in the killing of young Trevon. Soon after, when it came to light that Zimmerman is not of white or anglo descent but hispanic and so the outraged blacks changed their tune.
I believe that Trevon Martin reacted too violently when questioned by Zimmerman the night of the incident, but Zimmerman was acting as a safety-oriented patrolling the gated community as was his job and Martin was found to have traces of the marijuana in his blood and urine.

Race have nothing to do with my calling this a fair trial and I expect a not guilty verdict. There's plenty of facts that should render this beyond reasonable doubt that George Zimmerman did not commit second degree murder, nor manslaughter.
The jury as adjouned for the night and we will see what happens when it reconvenes tomorrow.
