Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law Professor, joined Newsmax host Steve Malzberg to discuss the Zimmerman trial, saying the prosecutor acted in an "utterly unprofessional manner" overcharging as a 2nd degree murder case for political reasons.
"I would say there's reasonable doubt. I would say nobody knows who started the initial fight," Dershowitz told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.
"Whether or not Zimmerman was a racist and racially profiled and shouldn’t have been doing it and didn’t listen to police, that's all irrelevant in Florida law," Dershowitz said.
"If you think it's 60 percent likely or 70 percent or even 80 percent likely that Zimmerman is guilty and doesn’t deserve self-defense, you have to acquit," he said.
We're hardly talking about a right-wing ANYTHING with Dershowitz, but as in the Duke case, it looks like yet another incident that supposedly raises serious questions about race in America hinges on misconduct and unethical behavior by a prosecutor, and politically motivated interference in the law enforcement system. When the President publicly states his alignment on racial grounds, it encourages other people to try pulling this kind of crap.
