Also, does anyone else think the younger prosecutor sounds like Kevin Costner? | ||

I don't really like him, he feels like a "hotshot" and overconfident. You could see that in his face when the defenses objection was sustained. I like o'Mara though. | ||

Thanks for clearing that up, because I just rolled in from my small country town on the back of a potato truck and I don't know how you folks do stuff in this big city... But what makes O'Mara a professional bono? | ||

I remember watching the South Park documentary about how they make an episode. They were making the "Human Icentipad" episode and one of the jokes in there that didn't end up getting used was Stan is like "Apple is doing it pro bono," and Cartmen is like "oh great Kyle has a boner." Sorry kinda random xD Edit: Also I stepped away and when I came back the stream went off. Are they having a recess? Oh nevermind it is back. | ||

If they would pull their head out of their ass and just report the facts of the case, it would definitely temper the passion on both sides of the argument and mitigate any over-reaction to the results. Now that I said that, they'll probably sensationalize the fuck out of it. I can see the CNN TICKER now. "Zimmerman gets away will killing 17 year old kid!" | ||

Riots are another event for the media to cover and make money from. Not to mention, they support the agenda of more spending, more cops on the street, etc. Every aspect of their agenda benefits from misleading and ultimately generating public outrage. | ||

But what makes O'Mara a professional bono? not sure why you bothered to make the point that lawyers like to bill when it is clearly inapplicable to this case. they are taking this long because they feel what they have to say is important, not because they are trying to make more money. | ||
