The Zimmerman Case

The Zimmerman Case has had its finding of fact yesterday and I would pay written then, save I was busy building my thoughts. What I should m inviteing piece first is why the Zimmerman Case is significant. It is not significant because of range, or the right to defend ones self. In confession of my position on the escape aspect, the media has tried to portray Zimmerman as white, when, in fact he is Latino or as my wife is adamant about, Latino. Apparently, you cant call Hispanics Hispanics whatever more and you have to call them Latino.Ok, genuine fine I dont really care what people want to be called it has no bearing to me on the individual other than personal preference. So, if the media is not really sure what race Zimmerman is, the issue of race becomes moot, barely it does show that there are other motivations in doing so as someones race is a sanely big way of describing an individual to the public. I suspect that this has more to do with the Immigration Issue than r ace despite the media is trying to make be seen that way. Showing Latinos as white would go a huge way toward naturalizing immigrants in the publics mind.The right to defend ones self, is not an issue either, in that it is a personal accountability to do so. Following someone does not justify aggression if that person is acting within a prescribed and legal role, in this case, as a member of the community watch. They say Martin was just deviation out for Skittles and some sort of drink and that was all he had on him when he was cosmos followed out of the area by Zimmerman. If he was going out to get these items, then why did he have these items on him when he was leaving. This seems suspect to me, just now authenticly has little bearing on the demo I am trying to make with this.The issue here isnt if Zimmerman should have been arrested, he should not have. It is in addition not if Zimmerman had the legal right to shoot and kill Martin he did. Martin acted as the aggressor an d obligate Zimmerman in to a physical battle, and Zimmerman, in reacting to the battle, did no go for the gun first. He used the gun aft(prenominal) Martin used limb on him (banging his head on to the ground I have had this happen to me and I have had to do it to others The ground is most definitely something that can be used as a weapon). The shot was fired, upwards and in to the front of Martin, indeed, the killing was justified.The only real issue that I had with this was if Zimmerman waited similarly long, but to that end, I wasnt there and so I have no right to an opinion on the judgement concerning the time frame between existing use of the ground as a weapon and the use of a gun. The issue here isnt, as many people want to believe, if the trial was justified. This should have had an investigation in to the shooting, and of that, there is no question, but it was only to justify if the shooting was legal or not, not to determine guilt of Zimmerman or Martin which the medi a seems to have confused, but the real issue here is if it was a fairly trial.The concept of arbiter is that justice be fair and impartial. The decision maker Branch of the government represents the justice system within the United States. The Executive Branch, when considering the implications of justice, has to see things from all points of view and recognize the rights of all parties concern with the verdict, ie the prosecutor and the defendant, while ignoring all unaffected parties even if they feel they are a stakeholder (parents, relatives and friends). The actual verdict has to be fair within a reasonable consideration of peers.Those peers form the basis for the venire and the jury is chosen by the prosecution, therefore controlling, to some degree the legitimacy of the defense as well(p) as the impartiality of the verdict as the intent of the jurors are to put themselves within the mindset of the defense, but from what is considered a reasonable state of mind. The bigg est consideration here has to be that the argument must be presented in such a way as though neither race nor gender should have any consideration on the defense at the time of the crime. If that there is, in fact, a finding that race or gender is a factor, considerations should be do.In the argument of self-defense, the first consideration that should be made is was the defense actually in sort of danger and that danger world loss of life or permanent injury. In choosing women, the prosecution was seeking the sympathy angle for the minor who died as a issuing of the action resulting in the trial. The biggest factor that is being ignored with the media is that the jurors had to put themselves in, not the position of Martin, but of Zimmerman and therefore Zimmerman acting within his role of public defender (the Community Watch, in this case).This reversal of roles from what the public considers as fair is what, ultimately, destroyed the prosecutions case. Arguing the case without considerations of race or gender forced the women to wonder what they would have been forced to do in Zimmermans role within that of public defender. To that end, they had to ask themselves, would they have been afraid and would they have had the responsibility to defend themselves, not necessarily with lethal force, but by any means necessary.That they would not have necessarily put themselves in to that position had no actual bearing on the subject as that personal choice was removed for them, hence impartiality. The factor of this being a fair trial, is decreed by a panel of peers, initially chosen at random, but decided by the very people trying to prosecute the case. That they choose women, become immaterial as the prosecution has its own agenda from that of the defense. The issue with this wasnt if the case was not fair, or that the verdict was unfair as the situation presented, described a reasonable justification of fear in the situation of Zimmerman.It showed that an assaul t with pernicious force was committed by the documentation collaborated by witnesses. It showed that the use of deadly force was legal and it showed that Zimmerman showed barricade in using that deadly force by the action of deadly weapon (the ground) putting Zimmermans life in actual danger as well as the fact that Martin did not retreat his supposed attacker but actually escalated the fight and did not seek to flee.In the end, this was a fair verdict, in that anyone in Zimmermans position would have used deadly force as long as you do not make any considerations toward race or gender, ie, had it been a woman in Zimmermans place, she would have done the same exact thing, but again, this is not the real issue. With this case, the head of the Executive Branch, the head of the justice system within the country, is seeking to show personal bias, and is basing that bias upon race and not reasonable actions within the situation itself as shown by the trial itself.
