199/365 - Jury Summons
By Juliette Culver

The jury will be given instructions to follow the law today to decide if George Zimmerman commited 2nd degree murder, manslaughter or neither.

Here is the Florida law which the jurors will have to apply:

2nd Degree Murder:
The unlawful killing of a human being, when perpetrated by any act imminently dangerous to another and evincing a depraved mind regardless of human life, although without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual, is murder in the second degree and constitutes a felony of the first degree, punishable by imprisonment for a term of years not exceeding life ….

Manslaughter:
The killing of a human being by the act, procurement, or culpable negligence of another, without lawful justification according to the provisions of chapter 776 and in cases in which such killing shall not be excusable homicide or murder, according to the provisions of this chapter, is manslaughter, a felony of the second degree ….

Chapter 776 Definitions

Does it matter if George Zimmerman lied in this case? 

That he was racially profiling?

That he made poor judgements?

That he followed Trayvon Martin with a gun?

YOU DECIDE.

George Zimmerman and His Gun

An Eyes for Lies reader today who wishes to remain anonymous sent me this picture (no longer available) and pointed out where George Zimmerman indicates his gun is during the fight with Trayvon Martin.

He clearly indicates his gun is not on his hip–where it would be easily accessible.  Instead, he shockingly and surprisingly indicates its on his BACK SIDE.

If Trayvon Martin was on top of George, as he claims, it would (A) be much harder to see –especially in the dark–remember they were in the dark, and (B) George could have easily stopped Trayvon from getting the weapon by rolling on his side crushing Martin’s fingers.

The second point this reader made was that if his gun was on his backside, as he indicates, George couldn’t easily grab the weapon without Trayvon noticing and going for it. It would have been an awkward grab and hard to grab!! It would have been a struggle, which George doesn’t remotely speak about or show in his re-enactment.

See this video here — go to Video 2.  Start at time marker 5:21.

George Zimmerman has been caught in lie after lie, but it appears this case is not about the truth or lies. I’ve come to accept that, sadly.
