Those of you who are following this case have most likely noticed that there are two increasingly divergent stories to follow.  There is the evidence of what actually happened and there is The Story of what happened… the narrative invented and pushed by the racial grievance industry.

The persecution prosecution has rested it’s case and it is clear that The Story is a fabrication with no supporting evidence.  That out-of-control hateful racist who hunted down and shot a black child for no reason never existed.  No evidence of racism was presented, other than Trayvon’s comment to Rachel that a ”creepy ass cracker” was watching him.

It is clear from eye-witness testimony and Zimmerman’s injuries that Trayvon punched the creepy ass cracker in the face, jumped on him and was pounding his head into the concrete, in ”mixed martial arts style” according to the eye-witness with the best view of the assault.  Zimmerman was  screaming for help.  Blood from his broken nose was running down his throat.  His airway was further obstructed by Trayvon placing his hand over Zimmerman’s mouth and nose to stop the screaming.

The question before the jury is this:  would a reasonable person feel that their life was threatened in this situation?  Would self-defense be justified?

The charge of second degree murder does not fit the facts of the case at all.  This is a show trial created in a pathetic attempt to appease the real racists who demanded it.

I have not seen evidence that Zimmerman did anything wrong.  Volunteering to be part of a neighborhood watch team is certainly not wrong.  Calling the police about suspicious behavior is exactly what the citizens in this crime ridden neighborhood were supposed to do.  Seeking to find an address, to give the police better directions, took Zimmerman to the area where the assault took place.  Zimmerman cannot be faulted for that.

If you think Zimmerman is a nefarious character who deserves punishment, go through the evidence and tell me what Zimmerman did that was wrong.  I am not asking what he did wrong in The Story.  I am asking about the evidence presented in court by the prosecutors, who were there to prove what an evil criminal Zimmerman was.   They have rested their case.  What was their case?

There are some very good summaries of the details of this trial here and here.  What follows is an excerpt from each link:

“This unraveling of the State’s theory of the case under the relentlessly unfavorable testimony of their own witnesses was the norm, rather than the exception, in this trial. One by one, the State’s witnesses were consistently co-opted to testify favorably to the defense, shown to be substantively lacking in credibility, or at best to testify ambivalently on the events at issue. Witness after witness found themselves subject to the raised, angry voice of State prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda practically shouting at the witness–his own witness!–that in fact they knew nothing about anything, isn’t that true?”

“Before I launch into the news for the week of July 4, readers that have not yet seen George Zimmerman’s reenactment of the events of February 26, 2012, should visit Greta VanSusteran’s blog where she has the video.  It goes a long way toward putting a human face on the media creation that has, until recently, been George Zimmerman.  I suspect that many will be struck by how meek he is, hardly a raging, racist killer. ”

This trial is a horse race where one horse fell and broke it’s leg at the opening gate.  Much of the media and the racial grievance industry will still continue to report that it is a close race, but it’s not.
