If it is a hung jury - MOM will be filing a motion for judgment of acquittal It could be granted

Obama COULD reveal his true identity and ask to be locked up.

Amen.

Not because I want to believe
it, but because it’s true!

If after all the evidence/ time to review,
they haven’t reached a decision-—
then, it’s pure emotion-—

All T had to do was go home and go inside.

Not even that. All he had to do was not physically assault Zimmerman. He could have stood face to face with Zimmerman, and called him every racist name in the book. As long as he didn't put Zimmerman in fear for his life, he wouldn't have been shot.

Maybe we shouldn’t write this reply in cursive

If that's for real, then

I think the entire prosecution system needs an revamp. these prosectors cherry pick the good cases due to rank. they prosecutors are used to running over overworked public defendants. the games play here in this case are SOP NOT EXCEPTION.

talking heads saying they are thinking if just pulling a trigger in isolation is enough by itself for element of “intent”.

well then that shows them for what they are.... under that reasoning all shootings would be manslaughter and none ever justifiable

Rooster, as MOM was responding to the law re read back, I sensed a positivity in his voice and response and the opposite from mantei. While citing CL he seemed nervous and ended with it should just be thrown back as a general.

If MOM had prevailed, GZ would be headed home now.

Hmmm..I’ve read some allusions to that effect in the last couple of days. It’s a frightening thought. .

That is an interesting comment but If GZ saw the entry wound he may have known another round was not necessary.
The worst thing about this case is GZ is the only witness and there is no rebuttal to what he describes as to what happened.
All the experts in the world cannot recreate what really happened at any moment in this case! I truly wish there would have been someone that could have testified and gave an account of the real events in this case.
I like GZ, I half way trust GZ! But we really do not know the true accounts of the case as the Jury does not know the true events. All we have is what was presented. One thing for sure GZ is Cool calm and collected on testimony, which in it’s self may come off in the wrong way.

Doesn't matter if he's convicted. He won't be voting for anyone for the next 10-30 years. Maybe he will in the Chigaco elections. /s

“If GZ intended to kill TM he would have shot him TWICE”

I'll go one better, if GZ had intended to kill Trayvon he would have had his gun drawn before the confrontation, and plugged the “punk” before Lil’ Trayvon could start beating his head on concrete.

To: OneWingedShark; shalom aleichem

Actually shalom aleichem is correct. What you are talking about is jury nulification. A jury can decide they don’t like a law and then determine that the facts weren’t proven. Not appealable. An absolute right. And with double jeopardy, that’s it - case dismissed.

Now on the other side, an appeals court can find that no “reasonable” jury could have made factual determinations that led to a conviction based on the presented evidence. If there is a conviction here, I predict that is what will happen because the prosecution presented NO evidence that this wasn’t self defense, just emotion and supposition.

On the plus side, the State is in a lot of trouble over hiding evidence...so it is possible they wouldn’t retry it

Yeah I know, repeat that quote about Obama again...;-)

Yankees mean well...but usually talk a little too loud and get their stories a little wrong.

And they they laugh at their own jokes...never a good idea.;-)
