David Horowitz: Conservatives Jumped the Gun on Zimmerman Innocence

David Horowitz: Conservatives Jumped the Gun on Zimmerman Innocence: On Friday, conservative author and thinker David Horowitz penned a piece suggesting that conservatives have jumped the gun on their defense of George Zimmerman in the shooting of Trayvon Martin:

It is a fact that many, if not most conservatives have already concluded that George Zimmerman is innocent of any crime in connection with Trayvon Martin’s death and should be acquitted if justice is to be served. Indeed, this opinion was formed long before the trial began as a reaction to the outcry of liberals that Zimmerman was guilty — and guilty of being white – and that the crime was murder, and must be punished. But just because a lynch mob has formed to condemn Zimmerman in advance of the facts, does not mean one must conclude that Zimmerman is innocent of Trayvon Martin’s death.
