Two part question: Do you think George Zimmerman is guilty of 2nd degree murder in the killing of Trayvon Martin? Do you think George Zimmerman will be found guilty of 2nd degree murder in the killing of Trayvon Martin?

This topic was discussed last summer, when this event occurred. However, I’m bringing it up for discussion again as Fluther has new Jellies and as time unfolds, opinions change.

Trayvon Martin, a young black man, was walking through a housing development being patrolled by a neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman. George Zimmerman called 911 and was told by them not to follow Martin, and that a police cruiser was being dispatched. Apparently, Zimmerman not only followed Martin but for some reason, got out of his car to confront him. During the ensuing confrontation, the details are fuzzy but the end result was that Zimmerman got beaten up and Martin ended up shot by Zimmerman.

If you google it, there are many news articles on the event and now the trial.

Do you think Zimmerman is guilty of 2nd degree murder?

Do you think Zimmerman will be found guilty of 2nd degree murder?

I will give my opinion later, which is unchanged since the topic was discussed last summer. I am reminded of this because it was discussed at a family get together this past weekend.
