Tom Maguire, who has been acting as George Zimmerman’s pro bono internet defense attorney since day one, has finally been forced to admit that his adopted client (and his client’s wife) are “stupid, scheming, lying weasels.” The funny thing about that is that stupid, scheming, lying weasels tend to lie and scheme about a lot of things. It’s a character trait. You could ask John Edwards about it. He knows. These scheming weasels have a tendency to sucker people into believing that they’re something they’re not. You know, like innocent.
All I wanted was for Zimmerman to face charges for wrongful death. I’m happy to let the prosecutors decide what specific counts to charge him with. And I’m happy to let the jury decide whether Zimmerman is guilty under the law. I’m not going to try to prosecute him myself.
What I find offensive is this desire I see on the right, and from bloggers like Maguire, to come to Zimmerman’s defense. What’s the best thing you can say about this guy? That maybe he harassed the wrong dude and was getting his ass kicked for it? And that’s just maybe. Because I’ve heard the tape, and it sounds a lot more like a teenager squealing to me than a 28-year old lying scheming weasel.
Anyway, because he’s an idiot, Zimmerman is headed back to jail. I’ll feel better about a potential acquittal if he stays there until the trial begins next year.
