I've not followed the trial or any of the media shows about it.

Ultimately, what matters is the verdict..not what cnn ,fox,etc report or decide to cover.

I only go back and look at the coverage when I read someone online who appears to be repeating verbatim what a smarter person has said, and 99% of the time...I go back and they are repeating line for line what a "legal expert/talking head" said the night before on the news channel that they watch/listen to.

I guess they repeat what they see in an effort to sound "informed", but it has the opposite effect.



Speaking of recording things though...my initial thoughts after the general human feelings of empathy for the death of the young man, was that if Zimmerman really wanted to deter crime in his community that he should have helped set up a series of cameras all around his neighborhood.
Record faces, clothes people are wearing, license plate numbers,so that culprits can be identified and apprehended.

Even have some signs put up that "area is under 24/7 surveillance" if you want to force the issue.

action is recorded time stamped...

just seems like a more efficient way of combating crime .....

Driving around thinking you are charles bronson is just not a smart thing to do
