ABC's Dan Abrams On Zimmerman: 'I Don't See How A Jury Convicts'

by Mark Finkelstein

No wonder Dan Abrams left MSNBC . . . The former legal analyst at the "Lean Forward" network, now at ABC, expressed an opinion this morning that surely would be unwelcome at his former shop.

Guest-hosting on Good Morning America, Abrams opined that as a legal matter "I don't see how a jury convicts" George Zimmerman of murder or manslaughter. Abrams sees too much reasonable doubt in the prosecution's case to warrant a guilty verdict. View the video after the jump.

Hard to imagine that Abrams' opinion was welcomed with open arms at ABC, but at least he was given the chance to express it. Abrams did emphasize that he was expressing a view "as a legal matter," and that "you can't predict juries, so who knows?"
