Usually extremes no matter what side end up in the end being met with a backlash and the pendulum swings the other way. I believe this will be the case for GZ. The very measured coverage of the media is proof of that. The facts started to come out and did not fit the narrative, so the extreme tack started being walked back a little. Think of how this was covered in the beginning vs how it is covered now. No one wants to be on the sinking ship of the SS Crump. Things are not the way he sold it in the beginning.
The outright viciousness of the prosecution/system directed at him that would not occur if this was not in the spotlight and in the end will be recognized and GZ will walk.
The evidence will not show the clear cut case the prosecution seems to think they have all wrapped up and GZ will walk.
There is a silent majority that does see this as justifiable self defense, like it or not.
Most people in the jury pool are aware of very little in this case. They heard the Extreme story the media and Crump was pushing in the beginning and have since tuned out. Any jury will get limited information on this case brought before them and will see things were not what they were fed in the beginning, and there will be the backlash. Reasonable doubt is all that is needed at trial and there is plenty of that now, GZ will walk. Relative to the case or not, but still a factor, Deloranda does not come across as "likable" and O'Mara does come across "likable", this matters to a jury, like it or not, and GZ will walk.
TM was not the angel and that will be made clear to any jury. This whole bond revocation will be a "blip" on the screen in the long run. Happens everyday across this country. To the average person not tuned in to this case now GZ comes across as sincere and that is all that will count.
The reported version of the story is easy to understand...example A then B then C, the prosecution has to sell A then D then B then F etc. the prosecution has to prove a complicated scenario and that will create the "reasonable doubt.
The prosecution has to sell that is was illegal for GZ to get out of his truck. Guess what... it was not illegal for GZ to get out of his truck. They have to prove he followed TM. GZ said "OK" when told he did not need to do that. They did not instruct him to go back to his truck. Who is to say he did not stop where he was standing, at the "T". If he had continued to follow he would have been at Brandy's house and he wasn't. He was at the "T" and that is "reasonable" to believe. It is also "reasonable" to believe TM doubled back and assaulted GZ based on what we know.
GZ walks on any murder charges if not at the SYG hearing first.
