"Maybe" is the key word. This guy has essentially been tried and convicted in most peoples minds. I have no clue what happened, nobody outside those involved do. That doesn't stop the jury of popular opinion from rendering verdicts left and right.

If he's guilty, he should spend life in prison. If not, he'll live his life with the scarlet letter "M". He's fucked either way.

Until a few moments ago I had not seen a photo of Zimmerman. Because of what I had heard/read in the media I expected a big white dude. He looks like a pudgy mexican. But that doesn't sell copy, does it?
