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.
This trial has made me recognize Zer0 as a creepy ass-cracker (on his mother’s side) following us all around with his vigilante government 24/7.
I can’t wait either, Uncle Chip. I mowed the lawn today and got all important things taken care of so I can be ready for Monday.
If the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that George Zimmerman is guilty, how could they have been foolish enough to put someone like Rachel aka DeeDee on the witness stand?
If DeeDee can’t read the cursive that she herself writ,
You must acquit.
“...subordination of perjury...”?????
One loses all credibility if one can’t even correctly name the subject of one’s theory. It is SUBORNATION of perjury! The author blew it.
It was done Feb.27, the day after the shooting, at 5:20 in the afternoon.

Thanks kanawa!
Nothing matters.
None of it.
The lying, the overcharging, nothing.
Blacks believe GZ is guilty and if he is acquitted it will be because the white man doesn’t care about little black boys.
That’s all there is to it.
When witnesses lie on the stand it’s because they’re confused by the white man’s trickery.
When witnesses have an attitude it’s because they’re standing up for their black brothers and sisters.
When witnesses are barely literate and barely able to talk in complete sentences it’s because they come from a different world and white people just don’t understand.
Let me spell it out for everyone;
The vast majority of blacks in America believe this is a case of a white man stalking a black boy with a gun and murdering him. Period.
They believe the white man started it. If they ever come to believe the innocent black boy was on top of GZ it won’t matter because GZ started it by not minding his own damn business.
When GZ isn’t sentenced to 20 years in jail for Murder 2 they will ransack whatever city they happen to reside in. There will be fires, overturned cars, and unfortunately lots of dead blacks killed by other blacks.
And certain people in positions of power will have a made-to-order training exercise to test their martial law contingencies.
The beating the state is taking right now without the defense even having to put on a case is doing all of that.
He must be too young to remember Sam Ervin.
Why wouldn’t Zimmerman benefit from taking the stand himself; I know the defense normally puts the accused on the stand only when there is no recourse, but it seems to me he would benefit from taking the stand. He is attractive, articulate, and has a consistent story.
Did you know there is a very small Sam Ervin Library room at Piedmont Community College in Morgantown, NC (I think is the spelling)? Hardly anyone knows about it. At one time, people truly believe in “Senator Sam” as the liberal media dubbed him.
Yes, unfortunately, your analysis is right on target! This is a long-term consequence too of "white guilt".
As I said, when the the defense is decisively winning the case, you don't take any chances no matter how small. Don't give the prosecution any chances or openings to trip up the defended.
Was he one of those “southern progressives?”
No problem Chip. I just didn't appreciate Mr.Steel, insinuating that I was some sort of MSM plant.
Furthermore, for example, the Florida Casey Anthony trial. The prosecution had a very strong circumstantial case against Anthony, however, the defense did not feel the state’s case against Anthony was strong enough for her to take the stand. Anthony never did and she won. Taking the stand for defendants in murder trials can be a high risk move.
I had a black minister commit perjury against me for simply exposing his aggressive personality...tried to get me in jail for three polite emails to him over a years time. Some people will lie their asses off and feel totally justified in it.
Did she have a different watch on the other day she appeared. This one doesn’t look like a Rolex
I didn’t believe you were a plant, but possibly could have been listening to the numb skulls on tv.
