No where in the transcripts did I hear anyone question Zimmerman if he loaded the chamber in his gun before he went out that night, in his truck before Trayvon attached him or if he had time to release the saftey, load a bullet and then shoot Trayvon while in the midst of the entanglement while he was on the ground just prior to shooting him. Doesn't the fact that the gun possibly had been cocked and ready to fire before he exited his truck proove that he in fact intended to shoot Trayvon? I find it hard to believe that he could have cocked and loaded his gun while travon was beating him. Does anyone remeber either the defence or the prosecution bringing up this matter in the trial?

It's not racist. Zimmerman would have been found guilty in any other State except maybe Texas.
“For myself, he’s guilty because the evidence shows he’s guilty," the juror said.
“You can’t put the man in jail, even though in our hearts we felt he was guilty,” said the angst-ridden woman, known during the trial as Juror B29. “But we had to grab our hearts and put it aside and look at the evidence.”
Maddy said that when the jury, which included five mothers, began deliberations, she was ready to convict Zimmerman of second-degree murder, which could have put him behind bars for life. “I was the juror that was going to give them the hung jury,” she insisted. “I fought to the end.”
“That’s where I felt confused,” Maddy told Roberts. “But as the law was read to me, if you have no proof that he killed him intentionally, you can’t say he’s guilty.”
Despite her conviction that Zimmerman did wrong, when Maddy was asked whether the case should have gone to trial, she replied, “I don’t think so.”
“I felt like this was a publicity stunt,” she said.
