Zimmerman to face lesser charge of manslaughter in addition to second-degree murder

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/07 … ree-murder

No evidence of a crime so a Judge allows "lesser crime" charges AFTER the trial !?

How the hell do you defend against charges that are added AFTER the fact?

Meanwhile the DOJ is found aiding the protests that lead to this politically motivated trial

Remember if Obama had a son..."he would look like Trayvon Martin" .

that happens all the time in trials from what Ive read about it. That said regardless of what really happened that night the dude is screwed, he is about to go to prison for having the unfortunate luck of a white man's name. There is no way a juror is going to risk their own livelihood with being called a racist by finding him innocent, the media will crucify them along with Zimmerman.

That new info about the DOJ actually funding protests is really going to make this case historic since it is Supreme court level law that needs to get settled. Can he now petition the courts to vacate the verdict on the grounds that the government actively polluted the juror pool of the city by funding the opposition protests prior to juror selection?

Pope overhauls Vatican laws, criminalizes child sex abuse
"The new law gives a broader definition of the crimes against children, including the sale of children, child prostitution, recruiting children, sexual violence, sexual acts with children and the production and possession of child pornography.

In the old code, such general crimes would have carried a maximum penalty of three to 10 years, the Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said. Under the revision, the punishments go from five to 10 years, with aggravating circumstances bringing the maximum up to 12 years, he said.

It considers a minor anyone under age 18, and allows Vatican prosecutors to pursue the case on their own even if the victim or his or her guardians choose not to make a criminal complaint."

Fire at Heathrow, everything points at another Dreamliner battery fire.

Quote:

All runways were closed for nearly 90 minutes after the fire at 16:30 BST. No passengers were aboard the plane at the time, a Heathrow spokesman said.

Fifty Dreamliners worldwide were grounded in January after malfunctions with the plane's lithium-ion batteries.

Boeing modified the jets with new batteries and flights resumed in April.

I still cant believe Boeing bought into that untested green tech nonsense, must have been some pretty major tax incentives for them to use it.

By the looks of the pics the news are now broadcasting it's clearly not a battery fire since the damage is located at the flight attendants rest area.

I'm not so sure lithium-ion batteries are nessecairlly green technology. They definatly deliver better power in the same weight/size, or equal power in a smaller and lighter package, than lead batteries when it comes to power tools.

If the water used while constructing LI batteries is not 100% free of iron ions then a short circuit can occur and lead to a fire.

The Oliver-case (feud between Denmark and Austria over child custody: who is the legal parent father or mother?)
"The international custody battle has been going on for years. Oliver�s parents had been living together in Denmark, until the boy's mother, Marion Weilharter, took the child to Austria in July 2010, where she was given sole custody by that country's authorities. The Danish authorities, however, viewed the action as kidnapping and issued charges against Weilharter.

In April 2012, S�rensen drove to the Austrian city of Graz and took Oliver, without Weilharter�s approval or knowledge, and drove him back to Denmark. This action, in turn, was viewed as kidnapping by the Austrians, who issued the arrest warrant that has since been dismissed by the Danes.

On behalf of Weilharter, the Austrians have requested that Oliver be returned to Graz, but according to BT tabloid, the Danish Division of Family Affairs (Familiestryelsen) has informed Austrian authorities that S�rensen has full parental rights and that Weilharter risks arrest on the kidnapping charges if she appears in Denmark."

Today, a year later, Austria has send EU parliament MEPs to Denmark to barter the case with various ministers, but were told to basically fuck off. The Austrians, who are firmly involved with this EU nonsense, believe EU can override laws given by a nation's authority. They can. Poor kid.

seriously has there ever been a more blaring case.....

IT director who raised questions about Zimmerman case is fired

Fool actually question why the state was withholding crucial evidence in the case. Again this is why no jury of ordinary people would ever in a million years find him 'not guilty'; who needs the nightmare that will come their way if they let him walk.

*edit* Holy Crap....

NOT GUILTY! The "Riots in the US" thread in serious chat is imminent.

I followed what was allowed as evidence during the trial and the prosecution had ZERO evidence against him.

Adding lesser charges AFTER the trial ended before closing arguments really pissed me off.

This whole trial was all driven for political gains.

Fuck you DNC for using this to help elect your puppet during the last election.

not really, it will still be a self defense case and he is also going to get paid from suing NBC for doctoring that 911 call to make him sound like a racist.

Don't over look all the Federal involvement and the criminal...(will never happen because those in power won't allow it)...and Federal Civil actions (can't stop them) to follow.

What's interesting/sad is that something like 430(1 every 28hrs) black Americans have been extrajudicially executed since this whole event began and only like 35(13%) of them were armed.

I never thought Zimmerman was guilty of 2nd degree murder, but manslaughter should have stuck. It's the states fault for not seeking manslaughter from the start instead of slapping it on at the last second.
