Up until yesterday, I hadn’t realized George Zimmerman was married. Maybe that was common knowledge and I just wasn’t following the trial closely enough, but it surprised the heck out of me. Then today I found out that his wife had just left him and was staying at her father’s place on that fateful night.
That sure puts a different light on the case, doesn’t it? Neighborhood watch guy, all pissed off because his wife left him, driving around with a gun and just seething with rage. Of course, since I already saw him as guilty, this won’t change my opinion much. Unfortunately, it probably won’t change his defenders’ opinions much, either. They will just say, “He was found innocent, shut up and get over it!”
About Damned Time!
He was found innocent, that’s very true. But the double jeopardy rule does not apply in the court of public opinion. I will continue to think Zimmerman is guilty of murder, just as I continue to think O.J. Simpson is guilty of murder, just the same as I continue to think that 9/11 was an inside job and so was the Kennedy assassination.

Great news in the War on Drugs, for those of us that are on the side of drugs. Eric Holder made a statement (with a long list of qualifiers, so maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to spark up in celebration) that the federal government won’t fight the Colorado and Washington legalization initiatives.
It’s great news all around, and will be even better if they can stop hassling the clinics in all those states that have medical marijuana, e.g. California.
It’s great news for the people in Colorado and Washington, and it is a sign that we are close to across the board legalization because, now that they’ve eased up a little bit, marijuana becomes that much more socially acceptable and also the Department of Justice frees up a lot of time and money they can expend on other projects and the laws in Colorado and Washington will be allowed to succeed, making way for legalization in other states, and more comprehensive versions of legalization.
It’s a slippery slope, in all the right ways.

And his wife was just convicted of perjury for lying at his bail hearing.
