Everyone is 1 of three positions on this subject
1. Zimmerman is innocent
2. Travon is innocent.
3. the courts need to decide that.
Now I am of number 3. The thing is, when someone is arrested THEY ARE NOT CONVICTED, that is why we havea court system that is the whole idea.
So people who are saying Zimmerman should be arrested are NOT saying he is guilty, they are saying there is enough evidence to bring to trial a self defense case.

I am of opinion #4 - Not sure what happened and would rather not jump to conclusion.I havent yet read any post or heard anything on TV that says basically 'we think the police are wrong in saying that the gun was fired by Zimmerman and that Travon is dead because of the bullet that came out of that gun'
Thats it, that is all you need to ask 'is it ok then to have a trial to find out what happened and in the meantime put zimmerman in jail until the trial? with the understanding that he might be a security risk if indeed it wasnt in self defense'
The point of arresting him is NOT to say he is guilty of anything whatsoever other than having fired a gun that killed Travon, the reasons for that happening are an entirely different subject
that is the road of sanity.
That's not how things work...maybe on CSI or something but in the real world the district attorney has to have the proper evidence before formally charging and having someone arrested. All of that is based on investigation done by the police and usually the DA's won't move forward unless they feel the case is solid enough to convict.
You don't arrest someone and just say "the court will sort it all out"...only in fantasy land is that how things work.
Before you start saying the former DA is crooked (maybe)...consider this...the new DA hasn't had him arrested and charged yet either. Obviously the evidence in the case isn't so clear cut as some people claim it is.
