#tellusatoday: Justice in George Zimmerman case?
George Zimmerman's attorney plans to push the judge to drop second-degree murder charges on self-defense grounds. We asked on Twitter how justice could best be served. Responses edited for clarity and grammar:
Florida's "select, chase, pursue and shoot at will" laws will aid his cause.
-- @looiedl
Shouldn't he have to prove self-defense, with a jury of his peers?
-- @J_Dub23_1
Charges should be dropped. Evidence, witnesses support Zimmerman's claim.
-- @coreshift
There should be a trial. Evidence supports second-degree murder and hate-crimes charges.
-- @Nevermore1976
DNA, forensics and witnesses do not support Zimmerman's claim of self-defense.
-- @RIPTrayvonn
Who's screaming for help on the 911 tape, Trayvon Martin or George Zimmerman?
-- @Delivery43
Justice works both ways. Zimmerman is entitled to a self-defense hearing. The evidence is in his favor, and he should have equal rights.
