Well, that's it. George Zimmerman has his legal victory. Late in the night on Saturday, July 13, 2013, George officially survived a brutal and malicious legal assault backed by the full power of a State government intent on hanging a life sentence on an innocent man...

And it begins. Juror B37 gave an interview to CNN in which she said it was George Zimmerman screaming for help: [some video problems on CNN's side with embeds but appears to be working now] Meanwhile, the prosecutors are on the TV circuit defending themselves, and calling Zimmerman a murderer:
How would Florida State Attorney Angela Corey describe George Zimmerman in one word? "Murderer."
Update: Thanks to Common Cents, here is the full video interview:

The great thing about having your own blog is that you get to quote yourself. The title is a quote from my interview this morning with Lee Rayburn of WHCU 870 AM in Ithaca. ...

A California TV station and NTSB intern are facing more fallout today, after an embarrassing mistake led a KTVU anchor to read on-air the (obviously) fake pilot names of Asiana Flight 214.  That plane crash landed on a San Francisco runway on July 6th, killing...

Max Baucus, as noted here, was one of the senate's biggest proponents of ObamaCare. But shortly after he called the implementation of ObamaCare a "train wreck" in April, he decided not to seek re-election. (Baucus apparently believes that ObamaCare's biggest failing is incompetence, not impossibility. I...

Forgotten in the publicity surrounding the jury verdict in the case against George Zimmerman is that a perjury charge against his wife, Shellie Zimmerman, remains active. According to the State Court docket, the case is scheduled for trial August 21.  I have calls in to the prosecutors...

One of the most popular liberal reactions to the finding that George Zimmerman was not guilty is to posit the question of how the case would have been treated differently if Trayvon Martin were white. The question always is answered by the author that the shooting...

In the wake of Saturday's not guilty verdict in the Zimmerman trial, demonstrations to protest the outcome have erupted all across the country, with more scheduled Monday and throughout the week.  Most have been peaceful, others not so much.  We've collected a handful of tweets, photos and videos from some of them here. The @OccupyWallSt Twitter account tweeted a link to a list of Trayvon rallies in towns across the country. https://twitter.com/OccupyWallSt/status/356360022957109249 An excerpt from the page reads:
It has been decided: black life isn’t worth shit. Come together in force across the country tomorrow at 6pm. Let’s not ask for justice: let’s make it happen ourselves.
Another excerpt, this one from OccupyWallSt.org, reads:
No more divide and conquer. We stand for all. We stand in support of the family of ‪#‎TrayvonMartin and his memory. He did not die in vain. He was the 99% with promise and potential. Capitalism and Racism legitimize each other. We need something brand new and we need it now.

I'll be brief. I can't add much to what I've written the past 17 months about the facts, evidence, law, witnesses, lawyers, judges, politics, and media. So here you go: Despite the heated demands of powerful societal forces and the State, six women just said No, and thereby did justice. Amen....

Really, Kirsten Powers? Really? https://twitter.com/kirstenpowers10/status/356480844384317440 After three weeks of hearing and watching the actual evidence in the case and reading the jury instructions, all I can do is shake my head in disbelief....

I watched the verdict come while on a 5-hour flight delay at O'Hare last night.  Had there not been a delay, I would have missed it.  Funny how things work. What amazed me is that prior to the verdict, I heard numerous people talking openly about...
