Thoughts on the Zimmerman second degree murder charge

     Hmm, second degree murder, guess we’re still happy with crumbs. Let’s look, for a moment, at the criteria for a first degree vs. a second degree charge: Murder in the first degree is the willful, deliberate, malicious and premeditated killing of a human being. Murder in thesecond degree is the unlawful killing of a human being with malice, without premeditation and deliberation.

     Correct me if I’m wrong, I only do legal studies and do not, in fact, practice law (thankfully), but given Zimmerman’s track record of calling 911 on things such as stray dogs and five year old lil black boys, he is clearly maintaining an overzealous nature and false hero perception. In the 911 call that led to his murder of Trayvon, when told NOT TO FOLLOW TRAYVON, he does so anyway and makes the conscious decision to shoot him, although Trayvon posed no serious threat seeing that he was unarmed, unless of course you count iced tea and skittles. Trayvon was also actually shot in the BACK, meaning he was either trying to flee or in submission. Zimmerman using his gun for his self-appointed “job,” and deciding to shot him in the chest, again through the back, and not the leg or some other non-mortal wound shows intent to kill.

     If the tables were turned, I am confident that it would be first degree murder. A Black man shooting and killing an unarmed white teen. He would be heading to the electric chair right now. Shoot, Howard Morgan, and there was PROOF his gun never discharged, managed to have enough evidence for attempted murder AFTER being shot 28 times. Going back further, there was NO evidence in the George Junius Stinney Jr. trial and he, at 14, was sent to the electric chair. Second degree doesn’t fit the Zimmerman case and if they don’t have enough evidence, it is based a dual criminal injustice system founded in dangerous, racist ideologies, and not actual forensics and evidence of the case. Remember, the first police of Black communities were slave catchers, which outlines where we stood and continue to stand in the eyes of the law.

So, why are we counting a second degree charge as a victory? Call me a cynic but I really don’t think anything will come out of this. If Howard Morgan is sitting in prison for 40 years, yet Zimmerman is still walking free, I don’t care what reports claim, his own ex-lawyers stated that he was no longer in the state of Florida as recent as TODAY, I have no faith in the criminal injustice system. It’s time for us to handle our own streets.
