So let me ask you: Law enforcement agencies' date=' after being unsuccessful the first time around, never go after a person multiple times until they make something stick? I mean, they got Al Capone for tax evasion, of all things.[/quote']

 

Let me ask you...

 

 

Why do you like to answer questions with questions, without answering the original question first?

 

And Zimmerman is no Al Capone.

That's not the point. Just because I compared the police methods in dealing with two persistent offenders doesn't mean I'm weighing their crimes the same way. Al's gone to a much deeper stage of Hell than Zimmerman will, unless he starts racking up an impressive body count the next few years.

 

My question remains: Can you admit the system sometimes screws up, and tries to correct itself?

I answered your first question. I'm not sure if you've answered any. You just ask more questions.

 

Fwiw, if Zimmerman keeps doing stupid (illegal) things, and he gets caught doing them, he will end up dead or in jail for a long time. I think I said that once already.

Never said you should silence about it. But there are a lot of sarcastic comments every time this idiots name is mentioned that make it seem like the system didn't work, or that Zimmerman was let off the hook for no reason. That's not the case.

 

I'll gladly say that I don't think the system worked here. The system doesn't always work. We have a legal system with flaws.

 

Just ask any of the 330 people who have been exonerated by the Innocence Project's DNA testing after they had already gone to jail.

OK, here's your answer: I continue to ask questions because that's what I do. Kind of ingrained in me at this point, 16-years deep.

 

So there's your answer. Will you admit that the system sometimes gets it wrong, and that sometimes agencies seek other ways to get their man? C'mon, this is not that tough.

The jury might have gotten it wrong, I don't know, but the system did it's job.

That question was me being sarcastic.

 

And I've answered both of your questions already but since you apparently didn't see the answers, ignored them, or whatever...

 

Yes and yes. What do I win?

 

 

The problem is, I'm not sure Zimmerman has done anything bad enough since his original incident to warrant the system going back after him. Like I said before, twice, if he does, he will end up in jail or dead before long.

I'll modify the question, then. Another multi-part question. Sorry.

 

Is it possible that, given what we've found out about this guy in the past two years, that maybe, just maybe, he actually did murder a black kid in cold blood?

 

And maybe it's also possible that through a miscarriage of justice he somehow got free?

 

Does any of his post-Trayvon rap sheet tell your police instinct that he's a guy that needs to be got, one way or another?

 

Maybe other police officers feel the same?

The jury might have gotten it wrong, I don't know, but the system did it's job.

 

How many of those 330 got correct and competent representation in the face of a full onslaught from DA/Commonwealth's Attorney/Local Prosecutor and Local/State/Federal police? Did the system really do its job?

Not with the same crime.

 

If Zimmerman keeps doing stupid stuff he will end up dead or in prison himself.

 

Which is the point I was making with OJ.

The jury might have gotten it wrong, I don't know, but the system did it's job.

 

The system provided a trial, nothing more, nothing less. We had a DA reluctant to charge until public pressure forced his hand, a DA overcharging based on all the available evidence, and a law in Florida that led to the jury's decision. The system additionally allowed this case to take so long to come to trial that everyone in America had already convicted or exonerated Zimmerman before voir dire. The system might have done a job, but it didn't work.

I'll gladly say that I don't think the system worked here. The system doesn't always work. We have a legal system with flaws.

 

Just ask any of the 330 people who have been exonerated by the Innocence Project's DNA testing after they had already gone to jail.

 

Agreed! Some people on death row as well. And in all of these cases, the system did not work, it was the work of some very dedicated people after the fact and outside of the system that got it right for these people.

 

And yes, Zimmerman got off the hook, the system did not work in his case. I have also said that he will end up killed sooner or later. And to your other question, yes, sometimes, some in power will go after someone until they get something that sticks.

I think all that's possible. I don't remember saying otherwise.

 

It's also possible he didn't murder him, and was just defending himself, and has gone off the deep end since then.

I was referring to the Trayvon Martin case, specifically. I'm not sure what you are talking about.
