I wonder if Brandy or her sister will be called by the Defense to testify.

In related news: "Fireworks Display Goes Awry. Sets fire to Sanford Holiday Inn where witnesses from the Zimmerman Trial were staying."

Where were you getting your feed for the coverage? I didn’t hear that exchange, though I’ve read several references to it. I’ve gone looking for it on video, but haven’t found it. I did find a video that I suspect had that exchange edited out, or maybe it was scrubbed during the live feed using time delay. Would you please watch this video, and tell me if this is where it occurred? And if possible, could you (or anybody) please share a link to a video with that exchange? Pretty please?!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKJF9iqcqls . At about 1 hour, 2 minutes, and 25 seconds he’s saying something about “nobody knows...” and it seems like something was scrubbed from that part of the tape.

I missed a lot of testimony, but I was watching during this part, and never heard the exchange so many people have mentioned since then. I was watching on an Internet feed (posted early in the live thread) that was a few seconds behind the MSNBC feed, but had no ads. So I’m sure it would have been easy for them to cut that out without me noticing.

The Bao testimony seems like it could benefit from an entire article devoted to it.

Amish, of course.. They are SOOOOoooo predictable.. :)

[don-o]

but I also strongly submit that a ‘character’ does indeed exist for the concept of ‘racial blackness’, and it has existed for a long time.

OK. But, what specifically IS that concept, beyond being the underdog and the eternal victim?

We're on two different tracks here. I am examining the corruption of language and the intellectual incoherence that causes. I believe you are speaking to experience on the ground. My daddy raised no fools and I do not knowingly put myself in unsafe situations. There are white neighborhoods (local trailer parks) that I would avoid, day or night.)

My original challenge is to use of the term "black community" by a FReeper who I know to be solid. I challenged it because conservatives get trapped in dialogue by accepting our opponents wrong headed presuppositions.

I was listening to WFT but took that quote from a reporter’s tweet as I thought it would be more accurate but another poster clued me into the actual words that were a little different but essentially the same thing:

It was at the 43:00 part —

Thank you!

I was watching most of this cross, but I hadn’t seen that part. (Always these interruptions!)

That was even more fun than reading it. Ima go watch again!

[KC_Conspirator]

I am really blown away that the toxicology report was not allowed. The other stuff, from a legal standpoint, although unfair, I can understand.

Can't top this;-{)

“You will not say that, “”GZ was truthfull””, again”

You made my week. Thank you

[Uncle Chip]

It’s what Bernie has been doing for two weeks — beating his own witnesses.

[gitmo]

The Stand Your Ground law is not part of this case.

I thought they were asking his instructor if the class covered Florida's Stand Your Ground Law.

[not_surprised2]

Forget about Dexter, I can’t wait until Monday and watch the defense put this circus to shame. If it wasn’t for the hell GZ has been through, I’d almost want a guilty veridict to see Nelson appealed and this thrown out for good. Hopefully the Jury sees through this and the toxicology and fighting history comes into evidence, certainly we want Bao back to explain his new THC opinion, so let’s remind him to bring his notes ;)

[XenaLee]

Speaking of photos....this has been driving me crazy trying to figure out who this woman on the right, in the front row, is. I believe it was from the first day of the testimony portion of the trial, after the jury selection.

Can anyone identify this woman? I know that face from somewhere.

[XenaLee]

Oh God....please....NOOOO! Not Bao again!!!

lol

[Uncle Chip]

Who is the woman with black hair behind him to his left???

[hoosiermama]

Isn’t the sisters name Dee Dee?

[XenaLee]

In a related story, this just in:

Apparently, vital evidence in the form of personal notes belonging to a witness in the George Zimmerman trial were destroyed in a raging fire caused by a fireworks display that got out of hand at the Sanford Holiday Inn.

Other witnesses to the freak accident, who were staying at the hotel, claimed that a strangely smiling Asian man was running about in only his boxer briefs underwear crying “My brains, my brains!”, but nobody could understand what he was referring to, since no apparent injuries to the man could be determined.

In other news.....

[XenaLee]

She looks familiar too. I don’ have any idea.

And she had the weirdest expressions going on while the Defense was up. You know how the left has problems controlling their facial ‘expressions of outrage’...lol.

[hoosiermama]

Being a bit dyslexic every time WFT is posted it appears to be WTF. Sure glad don’t live nearby. ;-)

Thanks for helping sort through this fiasco.
Wonder how the depositions are going?!?!!
