I have covered only a few jury trials in my time. But I came away with one firm conviction. Never second-guess a jury. They were there, in the courtoom, the whole time. They heard all the evidence. They looked the witnesses, and the accused, in the eye. They had the responsibility on their shoulders. So this round-up of punditry on the not guilty verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman, acquited in Florida of criminal charges in the shooting death of black teenager Trayvon Martin, leads with this take from an old white guy from the Pacific Northwest ... |

This column by a retiring English teacher in Roanoke, Va., has been the most popular article on The Roanoke Times website for a couple of days. It's a good piece.

— Don't forget to learn this summer — Prescott (Ariz.) Daily Courier Editorial ... The studies are out there, and they've been consistent for decades. Students typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer break than they do on the same tests at the beginning of summer. One study suggests that most students lose about two months of grade level equivalency in mathematical computation skills over the summer months. That's definitely an OMG, as those kids would say. And those realities have nothing to do with th... |
