Deliberations begin in a couple of hours

By | July 12, 2013

In the Zimmerman vs The Left trial.

There’s a one hour recess, then jury instructions, then deliberations begin for a jury that hasn’t seen their families in two weeks. Late on a Friday is when they’ll get the case, and I’ve heard that often juries just want to go home in circumstances such as these.

As I said in GBC, I can’t see how deliberations will be anything other than one camp wanting to follow the law, and the other wanting to avoid rioting. No one who has looked at the facts of this case can reasonably conclude that it was anything other than self-defense.

But if things were reasonable, the original outcome of the investigation–that George Zimmerman was attacked and responded with an appropriate level of force–would have been where it stopped.
