Will George Zimmerman ever get the final credit he needs to get an Associate degree in Criminal Justice?

...

What's your prediction of George's future endeavors?

...

Update:

...

John U ~ I beg to differ.

George claimed to have no knowledge of the SYG when asked by Sean Hannity during his interview.

The professor of the course, now a JAG prosecutor, testified in court that he covered that specific law, the 'Castle doctrine', during the year and that George was one of his best students.

George was not truthful. In any event the author of the SGY law said that this case did not qualify because George was not threatened on his property.

    He will probably have to get his name changed and disappear for awhile once he is acquitted.

    Well there is a big problem with his professor testifying and all this nonsense about how he "should have known" about a State specific Statute and it is BS.

    Ask anyone with a Degree in CJ, such as myself, and they will probably have never heard of Florida's "Stand your Ground" law. The generalized statutes on "self defense" absolutely but not a State specific law even though you are attending school in that state. So we really need to stop what the media and the prosecution is trying to preach.....Not Everyone has an understanding or has thoroughly researched this law unless you are in LE in that State or are part of the CJ System in that state..(Attorney's, DA's etc.)

    I was in LE for over 21 years, I have a Bachelors in CJ...I have extensive knowledge and experience in CJ but up until now have never heard of this Florida law. I don't even have a thorough knowledge of the many Laws specific to the State where I graduated. It doesn't work that way. CJ degrees cover a wide variety of topics, Not every flippin State Specific LAW that is out there. Even if you did it for your own state you might as well be in school another Year before you graduated.

    Go ask people with CJ degrees, even folks from Florida..ask them if they ever heard of this law until now.

    Well good, I wonder what course he took as an elective or degree requirement that this professor covered this in broad and exacting detail to the point he remembers Zimmerman acing the class because of it. Go look at the course curriculum for a CJ Degree. I still call BS.

    I don't think so. If he is convicted, it's game over for him, at least for a long time.

    If he beats the rap, he is still damaged goods and no CJ organization is going to hire him. If he is exonerated, I predict a book. Maybe he will make enough money to take him through the rest of his life if he is careful.

    After his lawsuits against various media companies he'll likely be a millionaire who won't ever have to work again. Perhaps he'll write a book about his experiences, maybe he'll just enjoy the high life for awhile. I think he'll probably go to Peru, he can gain citizenship there through his mother and their government probably won't tolerate groups like the black panthers trying to take out contracts on him.

    He can get that final credit whilst incarcerated, and he will have plenty of time to get another associates degree as well, if he is so inclined. I wouldn't expect him to be able to use that degree for employment once he is free again.

    I think soon there is a good chance he will earn a Master degree in criminal incarceration. And Justice.

    As poor as his academic skills are, I guess not. The guy can't even remember the Stand Your Ground laws in a class where he got an "A"

    If George desires to obtain his degree, he will do it..
