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.
