Since they went with 2nd degree murder instead of manslaughter, I think a judge will throw it out before he ever goes to court.

I've heard speculation that they will purposefully charge high
to gain leverage for a plea bargin and to give the jury more options.

Looks like his lawyer is trying for a quick bail hearing today.
Indicated that trial might not begin for a year.

I read somewhere today where zimmermans attorney said trial could last a year. That seems very hard to believe.

What I read was take a year to get to trial.
And they wanted to wait to let things simmer down.

Based on what the media says which is worth little or nothing. He was part of a neighborhood watch program, so his job (paying or not) was to look for trouble. Unfortunately for all involved he found it.

Again we are basing assumptions and scenarios with no good source of information.

Bawanna, you and I seem to be cut from the same cloth. I could not stand by and watch someone being beaten or killed and do nothing. I couldn't live with myself. I don't go looking for trouble, but if I happen upon it I act. I believe that if an individual sees something bad going down and does nothing to stop it then he or she is no better than the perpetrator. We are our brother's keeper.
