Who he was as a person was fundamental to that case, and the portrayal of Zimmerman being on the defensive.

Knowing what we know now about Zimmerman, do you still think that Trevon was the aggressor?

Only from what I did see with the Trayvon/ Zimmerman case was that Zimmermans background made him look more like a shit than Trayvon.

If the courts started convicting based on personality flaws, there would be a ton of legally innocent assholes in prison.

I'm sure the judge, jury, hell his own lawyer had an opinion of his dickheadedness. But in the case of law, he was innocent.

Just because someone is an aggressive asshole doesn't mean they're going to be the guilty party every single time.

In a word...rubbish.

I was pretty sceptical of him from the start, I didn't really believe in the idea of a neighbourhood watchman getting out of the car and following while armed

After seeing all the police incidents where he's allegedly been aggressive, I'm even more sceptical.

Look at how Jose Baez fooled us all, (well he did me), getting that cunt Casey Anthony off for murdering that beautiful little baby girl because, although ruled a homicide by Dr. Jan Geravalgia, she could not determine the cause!

It's a pattern of violent behaviour, usually involving a weapon ( and that weapon is sometimes a gun ).
It's far, far beyond a personality flaw.
A personality flaw would be me talking at work about the subjects I do here, IE religion politics and other divisive shit.......... Calling his actions a personality flaw? C'mon dude

He was found innocent based on his own evidence, and no other witness that was able to either verify or nullify it.

I knew a guy that went through the court system more than once, and sometimes got off...... He explained that it's all in the way things get portrayed to the jury, almost like a movie in a sense

It's supposed to be a black and white issue, right vs wrong, but a good defence attorney will try to blur the lines, create doubt, make a jury sympathetic..... It's really messed up, it's manipulation, psychology, but it works sometimes

It's only a matter of time before he kills another person or gets killed himself.

You guys appointed him as a neighborhood watch coordinator and gave him a gun.
