Following opening statements, the prosecution normally produces a succession of fact witnesses, people who can testify to the facts–the evidence–necessary to establish the elements of the offense and to prove that the defendant committed it.
Their ultimate job is to leave no room for reasonable doubt. But this is the George Zimmerman prosecution: the backwards case.
Normally, prosecutors are careful to fully question each prosecution witness, to obtain all of the evidence their testimony can produce, and also to avoid allowing the defense to reveal evidence left unmentioned, making it look like the prosecution was trying to conceal something.
But during the first week of this case, the prosecution has established a pattern of asking only the bare minimum of their witnesses.
In virtually every case, defense cross-examination reveals a great deal the prosecutors avoided bringing to light, and in virtually every case, that information either fully supports George’s Zimmerman’s account–which has not changed–casts doubt on The Narrative–which is actually the prosecution’s case–or both.
This bizarre turn of events has required the prosecutors, particularly Bernie de la Rionda (hereinafter BDLR) to treat his own witnesses as though they are hostile witnesses.
The prosecution has actually engaged in the extraordinary spectacle of aggressively questioning its own witnesses, trying to get them to ignore, disown or soft-pedal their testimony.
Another interesting–and disturbing–pattern established by prosecution witnesses is changing their testimony in significant and ethically questionable ways.
A number of prosecution witnesses have testified to important changes in their accounts that they have never said before, not in multiple law enforcement interviews or depositions.
This directly suggests that they’ve not only been coached, but perhaps the subordination of perjury is involved.....
I expected that [DeeDee] would not help the State’s case, but she went far beyond that and badly damaged it. During her first day of testimony, she was actively hostile to the defense. Her rudeness and glaring lack of respect for the dignity of the court left me slack jawed.
That kind of behavior would cause anyone to spend time in jail for contempt in virtually any court in the land, and rightfully so, yet not only did Judge Nelson ignore her conduct, she actually protected her from the defense on several occasions.
I hope so.
When the state was forced to put a name to its Witness 8 and she drew the short breadstick. Her name is Rachel Jeantel aka Diamond and since March 2012 DeeDee.
The prosecution never had a case. The charges were filed in response to political pressure, largely to test the “Stand Your Ground” statute, and if possible, get it repealed. That is the real target here, not the guilt or innocence of George Zimmerman or the implications of any wrongdoing by Trayvon Martin. The picture is being painted that the possession of a weapon escalated the confrontation from merely getting a beat-down to the ground into a case of resisting assault, and the running dogs outside the courtroom are trying to picture the use of deadly force as an over-response to the threat posed.
The whole thrust here is anti-Second Amendment, that nobody should be allowed to possess or use firearms in self-defense, that is the job of the police. And we are well aware of the response times of the police departments just about everywhere, even good, well-financed and well-run ones.
God could not be everywhere, so He inspired the Founding Fathers to take up and implement the spirit of the Second Amendment.
With any liberal, when they know they won, they phone it in.
And then it turned out it didn’t.

“The charges were filed in response to political pressure, largely to test the “Stand Your Ground” statute, and if possible, get it repealed.”
I believe charges were filed also to satisfy the blood-lust of the black community.
No.
Only the second ammendment challenged parts of the country are at much risk.
The lesson of the Korean shopkeepers took hold in quarters one would never have suspected.
The purpose of this entire case is to INCITE. The prosecution wants an acquittal so all of the blacks can riot. They’ve been agitated by all of the official race-baiting machines for the purpose of creating mayhem.
Every day I pray that God will give this nation what it needs, Good or bad.
I believe GZ should take the stand and basically state that he was scared for his life and is sorry for the tragedy, but also state that he wasn’t looking for a fight, a fight was looking for him.
From a Trayvon site regarding John Good...
“Trayvon Martin Updates
Important witness for the defense took the stand in the George Zimmerman trial this morning.”
...
LOL
He doesn’t have to take the stand for the jury to know that. They have heard it from witness after witness.
If the jury acquits, or finds in favor of Zimmerman, watch out..... I dunno. It’s about time.
Yours is an interesting — and powerful — observation. Specifically, your comparison of the Zimmerman trial to a quintessential ‘partisan trial’ seems rather valid. The trial itself has less to do with the actual conduct of the Defendant as it does with the ‘agenda,’ so to speak, of the (”progressive” federal) regime. The published elements and memes of this trial involving race, self-defense, and firearms tend to supersede the facts (evidence) of the case. The media (even foreign media) tend to continue their pattern of publishing antiquated photographs of a prepubescent Mr. Martin, for example. The media also tend to engage in other propaganda as of owned by the prosecution. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2351383/Is-Zimmermans-lawyer-joke-Knock-knock-gag-attorney-nips-ice-cream-trial-posts-selfie-daughters-eating-cones-Instagram.html It perhaps seems almost as if the current proponents of gun-bans, race-hatred, and ‘Black grievance’ have some kind of stake in this trial.

(2) Initially provokes the use of force against himself or herself, unless:(a) Such force is so great that the person reasonably believes that he or she is in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm and that he or she has exhausted every reasonable means to escape such danger other than the use of force which is likely to cause death or great bodily harm to the assailant; or
(b) In good faith, the person withdraws from physical contact with the assailant and indicates clearly to the assailant that he or she desires to withdraw and terminate the use of force, but the assailant continues or resumes the use of force.

The state has no case.
The whole thing only makes sense if “the fix is in” and GZ is already as-good-as convicted.... through jury intimidation or whatever.
I don't think so...this trial has become such a farce even the ghetto vermin should be embarrassed to riot...
Of course, I will locked and loaded just in case...
