"Lies" is a bit strong. Anyone experienced in this area will tell you that, if the accused tells his story over and over with no variations, that is much more of a concern than if there are what amount to minor deviations.

And, even if he were actually lying, that isn't remotely sufficient to assign second degree murder guilt or manslaughter guilt on him.

Remember, the prosecution must prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt to each juror. What is a reasonable doubt? That, in reality, is left up to each individual juror.

As a Martin cheerleader, your only hope is that the jurors will be coerced by fear of lawless retribution to go against the overwhelming weight of the evidence and use Zimmerman as a scapegoat.

I'm not a Martin cheerleader, I just don't allow party lines to sway me into accepting that a killer goes free for killing another "thug". Zimmerman stalked a guy he had no business stalking, confronted him while he was legally walking where he was allowed, and shot Martin. Martin might have busted his nose beforehand, but wasn't he allowed to "stand his ground"? Do you think a good old ass kicking warrants deadly force? Although, I don't think someone trained in MMA style fighting had much danger of getting his ass kicked to the deadly force point anyway. Most here are following party lines, on a non party issue, although they will never admit it.
