Would you rather an innocent or guilty man walks on lack of evidence, than an innocent or guilty man is convicted based on emotions?
To me the emotional judgment seems more as a quenching of the need for justice from the public, rather than fair trial. If someone is convicted by a crowd, representing the community, then the community has had its will done, right?
Ironically, Malorn has been continuously argueing in this thread that no fair trial is possible anymore due to the exposure of the public to the media and them having become biased. So if the crowd finds Zimmerman guilty, whether or not it was self-defense, justice be done, right?
