Op-ed: Court in session...and the verdict
is...NOT GUILTY!!!
By: Diane Sori
Politics does indeed
permeate our judicial system through the two should NEVER mix, and that was proven with
George Zimmerman being rightly found NOT guilty Saturday night in a
unanimous decision...much to the chagrin of race-baiters Barack
HUSSEIN Obama, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and their ilk who used
Zimmerman as a pawn in their attempt to open healing racial wounds to
serve their own political agendas.
Starting with overcharging
George Zimmerman with second-degree murder, this case has now ignited
a national debate over self-defense laws and race relations as six
jurors reached a verdict that proved that sometimes a tragedy NO
matter how sad it might be for a family is just NOT a crime...
especially when the victim is portrayed to be something he is NOT.
George Zimmerman never denied shooting
Trayvon Martin, but he said he did so in self defense. And while
nobody is happy that a young man is dead, the bottom line is that
Trayvon Martin was a 17-year old thug NO matter how many times the
prosecution called him a 'sweet child'. Coming to light after the
verdict was reached was that the prosecution knew that Trayvon had
jewelery and such in his possession that clearly did NOT belong to
him, yet they hid this fact from the defense until it was too late to
use as the biased judge had already ruled that Trayvon's 'character'
would NOT be allowed to be brought into evidence.
Nor would the truth about the Skittles
and iced tea be allowed into evidence, a combination when mixed with
cough syrup becomes a street drug and a cheap high (known as Purple
Drank or Lean) even while knowing that both were found unopened by
the police at the scene...nor were Trayvon's cell phone pics of his
homegrown marijuana plants, the pics of him blowing joint smoke, the
pic of his hand holding a gun, or the pics of him with his middle
fingers in the air with a look on his face that was chilling...nor
were his text messages with obvious racial overtones and bravado
about his fighting abilities...nor was his past incident about
punching a bus driver in a fit of rage.
NO...none of this would be allowed into evidence by a judge so obviously biased towards
the prosecution, with an attitude so arrogant that her very demeanor
was an insult to everyone in that courtroom. Judge Debra Nelson
herself needs to be reprimanded a least, disbarred at best, as she
ruled time and again NOT to allow defense evidence into testimony.
And in a last minute grandstand play, Judge Nelson told the jurors
that in addition to the second-degree murder charge, they could also
find George Zimmerman guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter (a
charge where the prosecutors only had to convince the jury that
Zimmerman killed without lawful justification), but NEVER telling
them that a manslaughter conviction could have George Zimmerman
facing up to 30 years in prison. And earlier Saturday, showing how
shocked even they were at the inclusion of this new charge, the jury
sent a note to the judge requesting clarification of instructions
related to manslaughter, giving credence to how seriously they were
reviewing the case, and how seriously they were looking at the
possibility of what many considered a compromise verdict.
Before deliberations began the jury was instructed by Judge Nelson
that “Zimmerman cannot be guilty of manslaughter by committing a
merely negligent act or if the killing was either justifiable or
excusable homicide.” But probably a critical turning point in the
jury deliberations was when Nelson refused to answer their direct
question on what really was the level required for the crime of
manslaughter, as her refusal allowed Nelson's constant indigent
attitude to finally come to a head, and this refusal could have been
a light bulb moment for the jury who might now have realized that
George Zimmerman was being railroaded.
The NOT guilty verdict means the jury found that Zimmerman
justifiably used deadly force, as per Florida's 'Stand Your Ground' law. They came to the conclusion that he
reasonably believed that such force was "necessary to prevent
imminent death or great bodily harm" to himself, which is
Florida's definition of self-defense.
The charges broke down as followed: for second-degree murder the
jurors would have had to believe that Martin's unlawful killing was
"done from ill will, hatred, spite or an evil intent" and
would be "of such a nature that the act itself indicates an
indifference to human life."
To convict Zimmerman of manslaughter, the jurors would have had to
believe he "intentionally committed an act or acts that caused
the death of Trayvon Martin."
Thankfully, after deliberating for 16 hours, the jury came back
with a verdict of NOT guilty on all charges...and that should have
ended this sad case...a case that should NEVER have been brought in
the first place, a case hyped by the media and instigated by
Barack HUSSEIN 'If I had a son he'd look like Trayvon' Obama, Jesse
Jackson, Al Sharpton and their racist ilk. But instead this is what
happens...even after head prosecutor Bernie De la Rionda said, "I
am disappointed in the verdict but I respect it. We accept the jury's
verdict"...Roslyn M. Brock, Chairman of the NAACP said
that just because Zimmerman had been cleared on all charges doesn't
mean that this case is over. So on Saturday night a petition was
posted to the Department of Justice, asking AG Eric Holder to file
civil rights charges against Zimmerman, saying there is no more
fundamental civil right than the right to live.
But this case as presented by both the prosecution and the defense
was NEVER a case about race or civil rights but a case about a
killing done in self-defense, so the NAACP is way off base on this
one. And also important to note is that soon after the killing took
place the FBI did their own investigation and found NO racial bias in
reference to this event.
And so while both sides did ask for peace even before the verdict
was read, people like Jesse Jackson were fueling the flames of racial
discontentment. On FOX News' Judge Jeanine show on Saturday night,
this miserable excuse of a man said the only verdict he would accept
would be second-degree murder or manslaughter, and that he would NOT
be happy with anything else. First, who gives a damn what Jesse
Jackson would accept, and second, his words sounded very much like a
threat of violence if the verdict didn't go how he and his ilk wanted
it to go.
And adding even more discontentment, big mouth, race-baiter Al
Sharpton issued a statement saying, "The acquittal of George
Zimmerman is a slap in the face to the American people".
NO...I don't think so as the acquittal of George Zimmerman shows
that our system of justice still works in spite of the liberal left
and the racial bigots trying to hijack it.
As expected after the NOT Guilty verdict came down the internet
came alive with all sorts of rage against Zimmerman (and small scale rioting did break out in some cities), so much so that
now George Zimmerman will have to live his life in fear of a fringe
element who have said, at least in tweets and on the internet, that
they 'demand' revenge for Trayvon.
One person wrote on twitter, "What kind of world do we
live in where an innocent is killed, and the killer is found
innocent?...America has given a free pass to murder black youth." And
while many blacks believed this case was about generations of young
black
men being targeted, stalked, and brutalized by police, security guards,
neighborhood watches and the courts NOTHING could be further from
the truth as most so-called 'black innocents' are killed as a result
of black-on-black crime NOT by the perceived notion that whites are
after young black men.
And this is something
Obama and his ilk don't want anyone to know for
they'd rather condemn and accuse non-blacks, even without evidence,
while they ignore the murder of their own by people
by
their own people. For them, feeding into the
perception
is more important than facts, but the fact is that 93%
of blacks killed in America are killed by blacks, And
the truth is that while blacks make up only 12.5% of the US
population they commit nearly 40% of murders in America every year,
with nearly 50% of those murder victims being black. Yet remember
that blacks make up only 12.5% of the total population culminating in
the sad reality that blacks kill more members of their own race every
year than do all other races in America combined.
And
with NO outrage within the black community about this most truthful
of all sad realities, the perception of 'the white man' doing
injustice to 'the black man' will continue...egged on by the likes of
Barack HUSSEIN Obama, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and their ilk,
because racial divide serves their purposes of bringing America to
her knees oh so well.
And
through George Zimmerman...a now officially adjudicated innocent
man...all their racism, bigotry, and hate will funnel as they work
towards their goal of starting a race war here in America.
To indict or NOT to indict...that was the $64
thousand question that we all waited with baited breath to hear the answer to.
Thankfully, the right decision was reached...NO true bill* returned on each of the five indictments...and so Officer Darren Wilson will NOT
be indicted...as it should be.
Try to hang an innocent white man so some can close
their eyes to the fact that the reason they are going nowhere in life is that their
dropping out of school translates into menial dead-end jobs being all they can and
will ever get...that is if they bother to even work at all. Blame the white man for
their ghetto existence when the root cause of it all...the root cause of all
the black community's problems...is the disintegration of the black family unit
as more and more black families are headed by single moms with so many children
with the afore mentioned multitude of daddies. Try to hang an innocent white
man...so to speak...so race-baiters like Sharpton, Jackson, Holder, and
even Obama can (I believe) line their own pockets because some blacks are
suffering, yet that very suffering is what makes it so easy for these vile men to make a buck off the misery of those they call 'brothers.' 
And while this Grand Jury vacillated for a bit, in
the end they did the right thing based on the facts NOT on the race-baiters and
white-haters trying to blackmail...YES blackmail...them into believing that a
NO indictment ruling would cause them to be the catalyst for even more riots,
looting, and the burning of their own town to the ground. Thankfully, these jurors
finally saw that what happened in Ferguson was NOTHING but a continuing performance of
theater of the absurd put on by those who didn't even live in the town that became
ground zero in this new American Civil War...a war started by a president and
his minions who delight in ripping the scab off long-healing racial wounds, and
who high-five each other for helping to set race relations back 50 years or
more.
