Guess that means he did not flee the country as some alleged.

Might be ambitious. Manslaughter would have been easier to convict on.

After all the media "evidence" and the possibility of the LA Riots being on a juror's mind, I doubt there is anywhere in the USA he can get a fair trial so his trial will be shooting fish in a barrel.

And oh, how could I forget, POTUS personal attention. I am still looking for more involvement for a shooting case in the nearby town when a man shot another for being on the porch of the former.

I don't accept that. I believe that with good representation, they will be able to seat a jury which will decide based on the facts placed before them. But, as much as I place little faith in the general populace, my cynicism pales in comparison to yours, oh mighty misanthrope!!!

Again with the Obama bull5hit. He was asked a direct question, aside from answering, show me his involvement.

Last I knew, the FBI did not take orders from the pres, especially seeing as how the Director was a Bush jr. appointee.
Neither have I seen anything to imply that Obama has coerced the DOJ into running their own investigation.

Is the porche shooting (does it have anything to do with a bar?) being investigated?
The thing that many people just refuse to see, that makes the Martin case stand out, is not the killing, for whatever reason, it is the lack of prosecution (despite the desire of the lead investigator). That is why the FBI and DOJ are involved.

Here comes the posse... Maybe Martin is a Kenyan. Possibly even Obama's son by his Kenyan wife...

I do admit to being a misanthrope. That much you have right. Unlike you, I have lost any faith I have had in people seeing how they are.

Point of personalizing this issue? Why not just say "The local authorities are investigating?".

Does every case involve the DOJ and FBI? Doesn't matter who the appointee is. It still isn't a good thing to ignore the direction you think your boss is going.

So this is the only case like that? Again, in my area there is another similar case and probably in your neighborhood there is one too.

I actually have a decent amount of faith in the jury system. I have served on two of them. In both cases we all knew what we wanted to do and in neither case did we do what we wanted to do. The evidence did not support what we wanted to do. We all took our job very seriously. We all knew that someones life or lively hood was at stake. We looked at the evidence and followed it. I think the system works and I think it works far better than most believe, especially those who have not served on one. It is the best system we have. I sure as hell do not want a judge making the decision on my life.
