Wasn't Zappa one of the clowns ranting about "stand your ground" like this killer EVER had a chance of getting away with this murder ?

It was only murder if the jury said so.

Uhhh pretty sure that's how courts work.

Having read about both cases I could tell (at least I thought I could...I thought OJ was guilty) that this guy was going to get convicted. To me the laws are somewhat different and could provide a not guilty verdict in the Zimmerman trial. It all depends on how the jury looks at his decision to follow Martin. I'll definitely be watching that one to see how things turn out because I think that one might provide at least some suspense as to the verdict.

You didn't pay close attention to the OJ case. The police, coroners office and prosecutors royally blew that one. OJ may damned well have killed her but there can be no doubt the jury made the right decision cause there was reasonable doubt due to all the F ups made.
