George Zimmerman gains more than 100 pounds; Weight will be a factor

You said, "I would say yes."

Does anybody here have a problem when another speaks out their ass?

In response to this^^

The question you brought up was "does anybody have a problem" to which I gave an affirmative, as the "another" "speaking out their ass" would be me.

"I would say yes", to others having a problem with what I say.

It is?
So you do have a problem then?
 
Gained weight? Well then he must be guilty.

Makes as much sense as anything the lynch mob has said.
 
I am saying it now. Problem?

Not at all.
Hey, I hear the 49er's are looking for someone to play quarterback for their team while sitting at home. You would be perfect for the job.

A trial consultant said weight gain might hinder a defendant facing a violent crime charge.

A spokesman for his attorney declined to be very specific about Zimmerman’s weight gain because, he said, it might play a role in the trial.

I am curious why so many are focused on the "guilty" aspect of this. My point was missed, or there are just alot of fatties here. I thought you people were jolly?

The point of this thread, if you bothered to read the article, or the part I quoted in the OP, is that Zimmerman's weight gain will be used against him.

Anyone care to debate this?
 
You implied it.
No you implied it.
I asked a question to which you answered affirmatively.

Maybe you did not understand the question.
I asked the following.

"Does anybody here have a problem when another speaks out their ass?"
That is asking anybody if they have a problem with such.
You answered that you do, when you said, "I would say yes."

Maybe I didn't, but that is how I took it.

"I would say yes", meaning somebody has a problem, not necessarily myself.

Obviously that is what you now think.
But it is not what I asked. You answered in the affirmative to what I asked, and that is what was proceeded on.
 
Care to expand upon that, as a spokesman for O'Mara and a trial consultant believe otherwise?

I doubt people will extrapolate from his weight gain that he's guilty. O'Mara may have been referring to the natural prejudice many people have against obese people. They won't like him.
 
I think Z's weight gain may help him at trial.

I wasn't even thinking of that:shock:

Is there some type of statistic showing a higher percentage of fatties being found guilty compared to non-fatties?

I shall Google it now.

Weight Discrimination: Obesity Presents More Than Just Health Problems - WCCT

Found one already:shock:

If you're obese (and chances of that are pretty good in America right now), your odds of being found guilty in a jury trial are higher than if you're skinny. If you're an obese woman, things in court can be even uglier.

"Weight discrimination has increased by 66 percent in the past decade," says Rebecca Puhl, the center's director of research and weight stigma initiatives. "There is certainly a need for remedies at both the state and federal levels."

That scale in the article is epic:lol:

It will not be a card played by the Prosecution.


And the article made it clear as to what type of influence the weight gain "could" possibly have.
This is not significant as the jury will know that Zimmerman was not this large at the time of the incident.
Nor does it matter to the fear of great bodily injury or loss of life he felt.

All this you should already know, so your posting of such is nothing more than you just trying to get another shot in at Zimmerman because of his appearance.
Your post says more about you than it does about him.

I still contend the timing of the weight gain and the amount will have a negative impact upon Zimmerman, besides just being a blimp.

The prosecution may not bring it up, but the defense surely will. The prosecution will counter with a "guilty conscious" type of argument.
