ATS - Whats your opinion - 20 Zimmerman Trial Questions

I never respond to "canned questions" with yes or now answers. The policy on this sight changed today, that posters can no longer argue issues regarding ethnic groups. We have now been Rodney Kinged by the owners, and with restricted speech any one taking a position will be considered to be offending some group, some religion, some nation. In order to argue there must be opposing sides. That was eliminated today. Adios Amigos. John

If you don't watch the trial then just move along and go to a different thread..
People watching the trial might like to answer the questions I"m curious about.
Obviously this doesn't apply to you. So move along.

1 - Are you watching the Zimmerman trial? Yes or No?
Yes - but just occasionally.

2 - Before the trial, did you form an opinion?
- Guilty of Murder 2
- Guilty of Manslaughter
- Guilty of Stupidity but you can't prosecute that
- Innocent
- Innocent Until Proven Guilty
- Other
I haven't made a final decision yet, but I suspect he's guilty of murder. The trial could change my mind.

3 - Opening Statements?
- Score for Defense.
- Score for Prosecution.
- Pretty Even.
Score for Prosecution - West is too long winded and knock-knock...

4 - Prosecution so far?
- Doing a great job.
- Doing a lousy job.
- So so
So so - They seem calm and intelligent, but I don't know if they have a solid case.

5 - Defense so far?
- Doing a great job.
- Doing a lousy job.
- So so
So so - West bothers me. He seems "off-ground", like he's not genuine.

6 - Zimmermans wounds?
- Inflicted by Martin
- Inflicted by Self
- Inflicted elsewhere and just claimed that they were inflicted by Martin
Inflicted by Martin in self-defense

7 - The jury is 6 females.
- Helps Zimmerman
- Hurts Zimmerman
- Doesn't mean anything.
Doesn't mean anything

8 - Important Prosecution witness Rachel Jeantel.
- Credible
- Not credible
Credible - not intelligent, very uncomfortable, does NOT want to be there, but consistent in her claims.

9 - Important Prosecution witness John Good.
- Credible
- Not credible
Not credible - He "seemed" like he was doing the court a favor. He blinked a LOT. I suspect he's lying.

10 - Has the information in the trial matched the information that was out pre-trial in the press? Or did the pre-trial information get the information wrong?
I've heard many stories, so what I'm hearing in the trial matches some of the pre-trial press.

11 - Has the trial so far changed your mind on your pre-trial opinion on guilt/innocence?
No. My mind is not made up yet.

12 - If Zimmerman is not convicted, his future is
- He has no future. His life will literally be over.
- Bleak. Alive but bleak.
- Make $$ off law suits against NBC and Black Panthers .. and write a book
- People will forget with the next news cycle. He'll be fine.
People will forget with the next news cycle. He'll be fine.

13 - Zimmerman will be found guilty. Yes or no?
As of right now? I'd say no. But there's more to come.

14 - Post trial statement will be issued by Obama and/or Holder. Yes or no?
??? I have no idea.

15 - If Zimmerman is not convicted, there will be social unrest or riots. Yes or no?
I'm sure there will be SOME response. As there will be if he's convicted. But civil unrest and riots? I doubt it.

16 - The Zimmerman/Martin event will, in the long run, help or hurt race relations? Or change nothing? Does it depend on what verdict is brought back?
I don't think it will change anything, regardless the verdict.

17 - George Zimmerman the movie. Coming to TV in the next couple of years? Yes or no?
God, I hope not!

18 - Trayvon Martin the movie. Coming to TV in the next couple of years? Yes or no?
No.

19 - George Zimmerman talk circuit for 2nd Amendment Rights. Coming soon? Yes or no?
I doubt it.

20 - Trayvon Martin Hoodie Day in schools across the country. Coming soon? Yes or no?

I don't know, but I'm ready.

1 - Are you watching the Zimmerman trial? No, I don't believe court cases should be used as entertainment, and refuse to take part in it.

2 - Before the trial, did you form an opinion?
Seemed like self defense to me

3-5 Not applicable

6 - Zimmermans wounds?
I suppose it's possible he beat himself up, but highly unlikely/

7 - The jury is 6 females.
Don't think it matters much.

8 -11 Not applicable

12 - If Zimmerman is not convicted, his future is
Who knows, if he is not kept in solitary, I think he is screwed though.

13 - Zimmerman will be found guilty. No

14 - Post trial statement will be issued by Obama and/or Holder.
More than likely, they stuck their noses in it already, they probably get some sounbytes.

15 - If Zimmerman is not convicted, there will be social unrest or riots. Probably

16 - The Zimmerman/Martin event will, in the long run, help or hurt race relations?
Don't think it really changes anything. There is racial hatred from everyone, I don't see it changing for at least another generation.

17-18 Couldn't care less about the idiotbox really, if some hollywood leech fells there is money to be made, it will probably happen.

19 - George Zimmerman talk circuit for 2nd Amendment Rights. Coming soon? If he wins, probably

20 - Trayvon Martin Hoodie Day in schools across the country. Coming soon? Stupid, then again I think wearing hoodies for any other reason than the weather is stupid lol.
