Disgraceful: Zimmerman’s Lawyer Blames Trayvon for Trayvon’s Murder

Apparently, a teenager realizing that a strange man is following him should not stand his ground and defend himself if he has to.

And if the strange man follows the teenager,  pulls out a gun and kills the teen for defending himself, then the strange man’s lawyer gets to blame the murder of the teenager on the teenager.

It all unfilded today as George Zimmerman’s lawyer Mr. O’Mara, made his closing statement.

Earlier, O’Mara warned jurors against filling in holes in the prosecution’s case, cautioning against making presumptions and assumptions.

Yet he invited them to form their own conclusions about Martin, particularly in the four-minute gap that O’Mara said passed between Zimmerman’s losing sight of Martin and when Martin attacked.

He dramatized that length of time by pausing for four minutes, leaving the courtroom silent.

“Four minutes. You get to figure out what Trayvon Martin was doing,” O’Mara told the jury. “Four minutes to do what? To run home. To walk home.”

Instead, O’Mara said, Martin attacked Zimmerman

The New York Daily News reports as Zimmerman’s trial closed Friday, his defense lawyer declared in summation that the unarmed Martin was to blame .

“We know he had the opportunity to go home, and he didn’t do that,” Mark O’Mara said, brazenly turning the world on its head . “The person who decided to make the night violent was the guy who didn’t go home when he had the chance.”

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!

And that's exactly what this case boils down to Marie. If Zimmerman had done what the authorities told him to do, none of would be going on right now. He pursued Trayvon, then killed him, and now we are to believe Trayvon is to be blamed.

If I were a juror and I listened to O’Mara's argument I would ask myself "Why didn't Zimmerman go home?" when the police told him to stop following Trayvon. Seems to me he had the first opportunity to do so.

It is shameful the way they have vilified Trayvon Martin. They have used false photos and now they blame the victim for causing his own death. It is absolutely shameful and if this man is acquitted, it will show that there is no justice in this country. This should be a wake up call to Americans that if there is no justice here, there is no difference between the USA and fascist countries where anyone can be targeted and maimed or killed for doing nothing wrong.
