Pine....TUFF, TUFF call....my first thought when this started WAS "what if this is a hung jury?".......the thing that influences MY
point of view is this...the option OF STAYING IN THE CAR, WAITING FOR PD AND DOING WHAT HIS SELF-APPOINTED POSITION
REQUIRED HIM TO DO......MAKE THE CALL, WAIT FOR THE PD AND DO NOT TRY TO TAKE MATTERS INTO HIS OWN HANDS.....it is
my VERY PERSONAL belief that Z.' statment "it was God's will" was prophetic.....I believe THIS case will force Florida to re-tool
the STAND YOUR GROUND LAW..FLORIDA has a very looosey,goosey definition for this law and I believe it will FORCE Florida to
come into alignment with OTHER states definition........that was "the plan" that the universe had and Z. and M. were destined to
meet in this unfortunate way....JMO

Otherwise I don't see it.
That would make sense but many on the left are vested in a guilty verdict.
WHY are you making this a left or right issue?......it is a HUMAN ISSUE......there WAS NO trial until the community (and others)
ROSE UP and demanded a trial,asking for a FAIR AND IMPARTIAL JURY to decide the facts and come to a verdict.....and THAT is
what is occurring at this moment......it is as it SHOULD HAVE BEEN (but wasn't for a very LONG time).....

What should determine whether or not their is a trial is the law, not community pressure to ignore the law and charge a person with a crime anyway, which is what has occurred here.
