A Florida judge ruled Tuesday that George Zimmerman’s defense team cannot mention Trayvon Martin’s suspension from school, prior marijuana use, text messages or past fighting during opening statements at next month’s trial.

Is everyone ready to watch Orlando burn?

It is interesting since I think there is some case precedence regarding victim history and assertion of a self defense...defense.
NBC still has the 12 year old Trayvon picture on their site... no joke!
Seminole County is 88% White/Hispanic/Asian.
Zimmerman will be acquitted since he won’t face an OJ Jury.
And of course, the Obama/Holder Junta want Orlando to burn. That’s their plan.
From the US Census for Seminole County:
White persons, percent, 2011 81.6%
Black persons, percent, 2011 11.7%
American Indian and Alaska Native persons, percent, 0.4%
Asian persons, percent, 3.9%
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander persons, percent, 0.1%
Persons reporting two or more races, percent, 2011 2.2%
Persons of Hispanic or Latino Origin, percent, 2011 17.7%
White persons not Hispanic, percent, 65.8%
I'd say that's fairly evident as the chosen tactic of the defense with all these motions that put more material into the public view, thus informing the jury pool. The voir dire process of seating a jury is going to be as interesting as the rest of the trial.
As long as they take the I-4 corridor along for the ride I’m ok with that
“Then any past history of zimmerman should be off the table”
It is. The judge’s ruling is correct. Zimmerman’s attorney will not be able to present any of this evidence until such time as the prosecutor opens the door to its admissibility, which in my opinion, is a door they will have trouble keeping shut.
And yes, Zimmerman’s “past history” is off the table. I’m not aware he even has a negative past history.
I have never see such a clear cut case of self defense so maligned as this one, and I directly blame the Kenyan who all but told the leftist fascists to declare open season on Zimmerman. “He could have been my son! Oh boo hoo hoo!” “Oh our Dear Leaders son has been murdered by the white hispanic! Get him boys!”
The Obama/Holder Junta plan is:
1. Zimmerman acquitted by White/Hispanic Jury
2. Orlando and Miami burn
3. Civil rights prosecution for Zimmerman with a Holder jury
The pistol in the picture is a Smith and Wesson Sigma model, likely either 9 mm or .40 cal. The .40 cal. holds 14 rounds in the magazine.
I’m sure Trayvon would never use a high-capacity magazine in his gun. He was such a sweet boy, being Obama’s son and all...
The fear of race riots is every bit as powerful a leftist extremist tool of political repression as riots themselves.
Maybe NBC will put on its website the video on Trayvon’s phone of Trayvon’s two buddies beating up a homeless man —
Is the defense allowed to discuss these things AFTER opening statements?
