"Why This Is Important
On February 26, our son Trayvon Martin was shot and killed as he walked to a family member's home from a convenience store where he had just bought some candy. He was only 17 years-old.
Trayvon's killer, George Zimmerman, admitted to police that he shot Trayvon in the chest. Zimmerman, the community's self appointed "neighborhood watch leader," called the police to report a suspicious person when he saw Travyon, a young black man, walking from the store. But Zimmerman still hasn't been charged for murdering our son.
Trayvon was our hero. At the age 9, Trayvon pulled his father from a burning kitchen, saving his life. He loved sports and horseback riding. At only 17 he had a bright future ahead of him with dreams of attending college and becoming an aviation mechanic. Now that’s all gone."

We need a new ideology with the core values of reason, honesty, science and secular progress over the older traditions of religion, superstition and dogmatic faith that have long defined humanity. We will never be free to progress and advance until the last stone from the last church is cast down onto the last priest. And every equivalent.

no the local police concluded their investigation and said it was self defence despite evidence to the contrary. Now the federal authorities are considering looking into it due to public outrage and the outstanding questionsOriginally Posted by MJND

"Ok, Mr. Zimmerman, we don't have any evidence of wrongdoing on your behalf. We are supposed to let you go, but... there is a petition on the Internet from armchair anti-racists who want you to go to jail.Originally Posted by J3T
They are convinced you are guilty. So, we are going to put you in jail for 10 years."

In the eyes of the Criminal Justice system, that would make him innocent.Originally Posted by J3T
The burden of proof is on the prosecution. Not on the defense.
There are strict standards needed to convict someone. And I am fine with that. I would rather see a guilty person walk free than see an innocent person wrongly executed/imprisoned.
The police are still investigating. If they find enough evidence to believd that they can prove it was murder, then they will file charges.Originally Posted by simion3
