Re: Florida Neighbourhood Watch Gunman Charged

Reading some coverage here in the Uk, the daft thing seems to be the burden of proof: the prosecution need to "prove" that Zimmerman was deliberately rascist, not that he shot Martin. Zimmerman himself just has to "prove" self-defence.

It could well mean Zimmerman is found innocent, but the legislators realise how bad their law is...
