Jury finds Roderick Scott not guilty (indicted for self-defense shooting)

www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2411671/posts‎
Dec 19, 2009 - Rochester, N.Y. —After nearly 20 hours of deliberating, a jury has ... a 17-year-old unarmed kid for trying to break into a car," she said. .... If you and your friends are breaking into my car or home or anyother .... Scott is on trial in the April 4 shooting death of Christopher Cervini on Baneberry Way in Greece.

and Zimmerman also should be found not guilty IMHO

The jury might end up delivering an acquittal, but only because the law is so poorly crafted. It essentially allows anyone with a gun to provoke someone into defending themselves, creating a reciprocal need for self defense that could justify use of lethal force. Regardless, Zimmerman is directly (and completely unnecessarily) responsible for the death of a 17 year old boy who was doing nothing wrong. There should be some accountability. Looks like Martins right to self defense ends when he gets the upper hand in a conflict he didn't start. Had he managed to bash Zimmerman's head in, he would have also been acquitted, right OSD?

Martin is reaponsible for his own death. Lessonlearned don't attack people especially gun owners.

And really try not to be attacked by gunowners either...cause it's kind of a losing scenario to stand your ground if you are unarmed.
