The alternative isn't absurd though. Zimmerman could have easilly started the fight and killed Martin.


Way to turn "reasonable doubt" and "presumption on innocence" on their respective heads, there, MEM.

That being said, the prosecution still has the memories of the LA riots going for them. That, and the mainstream media's penchant for publishing personal information about people who don't buy into their racial narratives, could lead a jury into thinking they'd better "do the right thing" to keep their homes from being burned down.
