Although what is done is done, why was the defense allowed to put in six white people and strike down black potential jury members? If there had been even one black member on the jury the results would be better received by everyone. I blame the judge for not allowing in black jury members.

Even an Obongo lackey judge like the one in the Zimmerman/Martin trial has to follow the rules. She cannot insert jurors on a whim. In fact, having a bought and paid for judge who was instructed to find some way to convict Zimmerman, and failed, shows how weak and poorly thought out the prosecution's case was.

And Justfreedme wrangles in another conservative.
Someone should keep a tally.

If I were one of the paranoid, malice filled, prejudiced fake conservative bigots, I would simply say that the prosecutor intentionally botched the case. It does fit.
However, I honestly have no reason to suspect that over total incompetence.

How can you botch a case you never had?

I guarantee you that if Zimmerman was a black man who shot a white teenage boy in a gated complex in the dead of night, that this case would not be about stand your ground...

You're correct, there would have rightfully been no trial. We now know that Zimmerman shouldn't have been put through a trial either.

Angela Corey brought the charge for political reasons.
There simply was no evidence -- none -- to support anything other than the original disposition of the case.
If there was some evidence, what was it? What is it?
