This whole case and all the details surrounding it will undoubtidly become a case study in Harvard Law as an example of case mis-management, and prosecutorial "Don't Let This Happen To You".
WHAT A BUNCH OF BOOBS!!!
Correct, no need for him to take the stand. ...He must have been listening to those pip-squeak talkers in the media who are too worried to offend or be called something, or they're just plain dumb.
Exactly!
Suborn: tr.v. sub·orned, sub·orn·ing, sub·orns.
1. To induce (a person) to commit an unlawful or evil act.
2. Law. a. To induce (a person) to commit perjury.
Subordinate: r.v. (s-bôrdn-t) sub·or·di·nat·ed, sub·or·di·nat·ing, sub·or·di·nates
1. To put in a lower or inferior rank or class.
2. To make subservient; subdue.
The difference is rather large, isn’t it?
The smartest thing would be for the jury to see the video of the re-enactment he did with the police, a couple days after the event. It was enough that he wasn’t charged with anything until the racial clown posse arrived a month or more later.
If that happens, it will be VERY ugly - and possibly worth it.
Somehow I believe your above post was indirectly posted towards me.
All I was stating is that I believe that GZ could make a powerful statement about this farce of a trial by taking the stand.
I;m not a lawyer, just a concerned conservative.
It’s all an exercise in bull$h!t. If Zim is found innocent, the feds will hit him with another set of charges while savages burn cars and stores.
From this article take this for example:
"Another interestingand disturbingpattern 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 theyve not only been coached, but perhaps the subordination of perjury is involved....."
Say for example one of these prosecuting, idiotic witnesses takes the stand and it does hurt the defense. It would not take much effort or forethought in cross to destroy the changed testimony on the witness stand.
It’s no farce: we can expect the worst from these six anonymous jurors. We can be sure they know little of law and evidence. They are there to do as they are told.
Ok, but any good lawyer won’t put the defendant on the stand when the case is clearly and dominantly being won in favor for the defense.
The term is "subornation of perjury".
[wink] Smarty! You can probably even read cursive penmanship, too, can't you? [/wink]
Yep -- I'm having a riot watching and listening to it. I don't want it to end. Maybe the state can charge him with something else -- and we can have a Zimmerman Trial Sequel or a sequel called The Neverending Overcharge.
They will riot whether there’s a conviction or an acquittal.
The defense also had a hand in choosing who was to be on the jury. Hopefully, they got at least one good jury member that has a synapse the works.
No problem, as I stated, I'm not a lawyer, but from a marketing standpoint, GZ taking the stand after the disasterous prosecution case would be the wooden stake in Dracula, to make sure this farce never happens again.
And having to listen to Dee Dee didn't kill it.
Merge Benghazi and this case: Clinton lied, Trayvon died.
Even the most cursory examination of the attributes of the Living God will reveal that He is omnipresent--everywhere at once.
