With just two weeks remaining before his trial, George Zimmerman's attorneys returned to court this morning for an important pre-trial hearing.

Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson has been be asked to decide a long list of issues, things that will determine how the trial plays out and what jurors will see and hear.

The fix is in. She has ruled against Zimmerman in every ruling so far, today is no exception.

[Celtic Conservative]

All ammo for the appeals process.

If they railroad this guy to appease (and fuel) race baiters, I’m gonna be pissed.

How can Obama’s Son get fair treatment if the jury gets all the facts?

The prosecution can do all it wants, but the photos of the battered face of Zimmerman is an indisputable fact.

if?...if?...that train left the station months ago.

I can see how it could be argued that the pot was immaterial, but his fighting seems to be absolutely relevant to the thug’s character and his mindset.

I agree. George will be forced to pay the price for the sins of others.

I wonder what this means ? Can it be used other than opening arguments ?

"The attorneys also cannot mention during their opening arguments that the active ingredient of marijuana was found in the teen's system, the judge ruled."

[House Atreides]

God, just how corrupt is the judiciary in Florida?

[Fishtalk]

This might be a good time for the Tea Party to stage a big match/demonstration. If we don’t stand up to these people we will soon ALL be in jail

If justice can be intimidated by the threat of riots, then we don’t have justice.

That is why the defense was wise to leak it out on every news channel. Odd's are the jury will have heard about it and have it in the back of their minds, if if they "technically" can't consider it...

[MissH]

That is exactly what is happening. It makes me so mad I couldn’t even finish watching it this am...

[Blood of Tyrants]

She may rule against PAST usage, but she can’t suppress the evidence of the THC in his blood when he attacked Zimmerman.

[chris37]

I wonder if there is a judge anywhere in Florida who will give this man a fair trail?

I think this judge she be tossed off the case too.

[cripplecreek]

Its well past time we returned to informing the juries of their rights. Then we wouldn’t have this admissible/inadmissible evidence crap.

[House Atreides]

I agree. George will be forced to pay the price for the sins of others.

Correction, he will be forced to pay the price for the IMAGINARY sins of others.

Sorry if I offend anyone, but the Black community in America has been little discriminated against in recent decades, in fact any discrimination has been in favor of Blacks in recent decades (probably going back half a century).

The only substantial racism extant in the country now is the racism of Blacks themselves.
