I don’t want an interfering judge,but one that ruled properly on a valid point of law would be nice.

Pretty good idea. Make sure the jury hasn’t forgotten what they said.

Apparently there was also a step-mother somewhere along the way. I saw an article a few days back where the step-mother was complaining that after raising him for 14 years she wasn’t allowed to sit in the family pews up front at the memorial service.

His uncle made a great witness on the stand. Very credible.

The jury don’t really care what is said. They have a job to do and their families to protect. Their job is to return a verdict of guilty. All this talk of riots if Zimmerman is found not guilty is subtle reminders to them.

"I heard my son screaming," Fulton replied. "I didn't hope for anything.

WTF are you talking about? Can't you read or comprehend any thing you read?

St. Travon was staying at his FATHER'S house. His mother was no where around.

She listened to the 911 tape after the fact.

I am so sick of half wits that can't read or won't read an article and then setting up straw men arguments that end up hijacking a thread and taking it off in another direction with the help of other half wits that can't or won't read.

Understand what you're talking about or STFUASD.

It's rare for a case to be dismissed, on the other hand the state's got nothing and the ditzy judge was their best witness always taking their side, at times she seemed like she was trying to correct the prosecutions stupid questions!

St. Tray’s biological jomama cut him loose at age 2yr.

Shouldn't you buy another "l"?

I say this while checking one of my (ancient) degrees.

That decision could have been mailed it.

That puts to rest all the criticism that his defense team took about not filing for a pretrial immunity hearing.

“Whatever happened to the truth?”

It was determined in pre-trial hearings that all of the negative things about Traydmark would be ‘too prejudicial’.

Sybrina Fulton was in Miami, not Sanford, the night Martin died. Martin was staying at Brandy Green’s house, not Fulton’s.

It is exceedingly rare for judges to grant these motions. But if ever there was a case that warranted it, it was this one. The prosecution failed to make ~any~ sort of case that could lead any reasonable person to believe Zimmerman was guilty of Murder 2. For this to go to the jury to decide the facts of the case... what facts might those be? What facts are lying on the table at all? None that have any bearing on guilt. There’s nothing for the jury to decide, unless they come up with a whole new fact set that is neither alleged or in evidence.

Also, in what way does 'very' modify 'unintelligent'?

I wouldn't rate "unintelligent" as a superlative, since there are varying degrees of the condition. A person with an IQ of 70 might be said to be unintelligent, while one with an IQ of 50 could be said to be less unintelligent than one with an IQ of 70. The former, then, could be said to be unintelligent, while the latter could be said to be very unintelligent.

It's her job to see to it that Zimmerman is convicted. If she could issue a directed verdict of conviction, she would.

At least I don't think she can, but I am not a lawyer and don't live in Florida.
