Zimmerman P.D. CCTV, Leaks Continue in Media Pre-Grand Jury ''Trial''

ABC News obtained a Sanford Florida police Department video of (54 seconds in length) of the uncharged Neighborhood Watchman George Zimmerman being led into the station after the shooting without apparent injuries suffered during a physical conflict with Trayvon Martin leading to the shooting death of Martin.

This thing seems to go back and forth with more leaks of data and interpretations of data. In countries with democracy and trial before juries of peers the media publicity trial method is restrained in favor of objective,fair and impartial legal proceedings.

If Grand Jury proceedings are usually not disclosed to the public though, it is possible that George Zimmerman's self-defense claim if judged to be true might not be able to satisfy the lust of a political motivated public sector for vengeance. The event may have more followers than the final four.

addition:

That no apparent injuries are obvious doesn't mean there were no injuries or that they were not cleaned up a little. I would not prefer to argue points that defense and prosecutors should make.

For many the issue is racial vengeance and/or political empowering. That is too obvious with the implicit premise that racial profiling is a factor in the Martin case and others.

Zimmerman is an archetype object for the notion that blacks are profiled and shot in disproportionate and unfair numbers. The individual facts that should be discovered through legal processes are being leaked like media crumbs of profit to the flock of the unfaithful followers of partisan politics.

The 10,000 dollar reward by the black panthers for Zimmerman and repeated and many public demands for Zimmerman's arrest does resemble the paradigm of a lynch mob.

It's interesting about American justice today. Hate crimes laws are passed to add existential spice to the unreality of legal penalties for crimes. Even Chileans are considering Hate Crimes laws to add to the existing laws against homicide as if that would make a difference.

In Chile four neo-nazi beat up and killed a homosexual then carved swastikas in the corpse. If the existing penalties for aggravated murder were well enforced there would be no need for laws passed for political purposes. In Mississippi a student named Sanderson was shot multiple times in his dorm-evidently by three Afro-Americans and no national outcry for their arrest has been made. Apparently in Mississippi some people have sufficient regard for the legal authorities that they trust them to pursue justice. A second suspect has been arrested in the shooting of the M.S.U. student.

A convicted murderer may get just seven years and walk. On the other hand, some are convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. Occasionally some are sentenced to death and after 20 years of litigation may actually be executed. Some of the people on death row are found innocent with exculpatory evidence such as D.N.A., confessions by others or additional facts may provide.

Aggravated and egregious murder should be a category wherein there are unimpeachable witnesses and facts to support a guilty verdict. In such cases deterrence for more crimes might be made by hanging the guilty in the community within two years. As it the litigation drags on so long that when the guilty are executed few remember anything about the crime. As a Christian I would work for a better society rather than constructing a convoluted pile of politically motivated laws.

The murders in the O.J. incident have little in common-or nothing with the Trayvon Martin death. For one thing the murder of O.J.'s ex-wife and her boyfriend were methodically pre-meditate while the death of Trayvon Martin was nearly accidental.

One might wonder if Zimmerman knew Martin as a neighbor and had had some sort of relationship sufficient for him to cleverly plan to execute the 6 foot three guy with a hoodie that must have made him appear to be 6 foot 5 inches walking along a darkened(?) sidewalk that night.

In many parts of America adult men do not much walk through neighborhoods at night but instead drive a car to an address or the store. For those looking for perhaps too obvious of suspicious criminal conduct, just being a 6 foot five looking man walking through a neighborhood after dark could draw a neighborhood watchman's attention.

I believed that the evidence presented in the O.J. trial was sufficient to leave a reasonable doubt. The glove in the house behind the alley, the possibility that as a famous athlete some of his blood might have been available to a team of killers to plant etc. I did not watch most of the trial coverage of course, yet from what I did learn of the trial I would have reached the same verdict as the jury.

There is a normal legal procedure going through its normal process. I have some confidence in that. I find the circus surrounding the particular death investigation an indication of some sort of wrong socialization in the U.S.A.
