Day 22 (Week #5) Zimmerman Trial – Witness Discussion Thread
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | July 10, 2013 | Sundance

Posted on 07/10/2013 5:15:07 AM PDT by Uncle Chip

Today, July 10th, is DAY #22 (of 5th week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.

Yesterday began with a boom as defense expert witness, world renowned Dr Vincent Di Maio took to the stand to validate the forensic evidence supporting George Zimmerman’s version of the encounter with Trayvon Martin. However, the day ended with an even bigger THUNDERCLAP in an epic 10pm showdown as Don West took on both the State prosecutors and trial Judge Nelson after the jury was released. Ending with Judge Nelson, turning her back and walking out of court. Unreal. A great analysis of the events from yesterday is available HERE.

The late night argument, not by the State, but by Judge Nelson herself, regarding phone evidence authentication, is so weak and insufferably devoid of legal analysis it is absurd on its face. Then again, this is the same judge who said a few days ago, flippantly in open court, that evidence should be “shredded” (Dr. Bao notes) after use. D’oh

Essentially Nelson argued that the phone records (texts and pics from Trayvon) cannot be authenticated to have originated by the specific personage of Trayvon Martin (despite two security codes) because anyone could have sent them. Whiskey*Tango*Foxtrot !!

How can an email be used in a sex offender case? How can phone records be used in RICO cases? How can GPS evidence be used in Insurance Cases? How are photographs taken by perps used against them? Think about it.

You can’t argue that evidence cannot be admitted because someone else might have made the actual phone call; Someone else might have physically sent the email; Someone else actually accessed the website; Someone else might have been the driver of the car; Or, someone else could possibly have been behind the viewing lens of the camera etc.

No, that argument does not mean you can arbitrarily exclude evidence. And this was the basis for her argument (watch the video).

Sure, that’s an argument which can be presented to the jury by the other side, as a counter point to create doubt with the jury, but it can’t be a reasonable consideration for total evidence exclusion. Then again, this is Judge Nelson – who in multiple prior cases has a high historical propensity of being overruled by the 5th District Court of Appeals.

It should be noted the NAACP Annual National Convention starts in Orlando on Friday; Additionally, preparations are being made in/around Miami-Dade for a Wednesday defense wrapped up with a community/LEO preparation meeting yesterday.

It’s on their official Facebook page. Is there a problem?

Thanks so much! null and void (FR) wanted to teach me years ago and I thought I couldn’t learn how to do it. As a result, I never tried.

The same happened when my daughter gave me her computer....way back when. I said, “I could never learn to use that thing.” Very shortly after that, I found I couldn’t stay away from it! LOL...goes to show you...you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!

Thanks again!

Comment from Mr Izz at CTH:

Mark Garegos just said that if the other panelists on CNN needed him to explain why they put the last witness on the stand (the pretty young white woman who had her home invaded by the young black men) then people should just turn to the “Hysterical Ladies Network” HLN.

I think that O’Mara should have asked the neighbors of George Zimmerman why none of them no longer live at this particular gated community. It appeared as though every single individual that testified who lived that, no longer lives there.

Are you are telling me that Shabazz would not say that? YOU had better think again, and perhaps YOU should do some research! I did mine!

June 27, 2013

KING SAMIR SHABAZZ says black people should create militias to exterminate whites, skin them alive, pour acid on them, sic pit bulls on them, bust their heads with rocks and even raid nurseries to “kill everything white in sight.”

“I would love nothing more than to come home with a cracker’s head in my book bag,” Shabazz, a Philly street preacher and national field marshal for the New Black Panther Party, said on a black-power radio show.

A New Black Panther Party leader (Shabazz) with the words “kill whitey” tattooed on his face has been busted for allegedly carrying a loaded and unlicensed gun.

I'm asking you when he said it. Perhaps you could provide a link to the "official Facebook page" that documents the quote.

“I’m asking you when he said it.”

I have provided you with quotes/articles from this evil guy. I have no idea WHEN he said what he did. Look for it yourself if you really need to know. I have tried my best to show you what this guy is all about. Obviously, you have your own opinion.
