(57,936 posts)The prosecution never seriously questioned or presented evidence that questioned Zimmerman's self-serving statements to the police. It would be interesting to find out whether such evidence really existed. I look forward to seeing this claim heard. I'm hoping that this issue about who was on top might be studied and discussed in scientific terms. That should have happened in the first trial. A miscarriage of justice is a miscarriage of justice. I don't think it very likely that the outcome would change the outcome of Zimmerman's trial. This would be a civil case. The burden of proof is less demanding for one thing. But it would be good to have this information out there. It would put future prosecutors on notice that sloppy prosecutions for perhaps political purposes will not be tolerated in the US.
