The OJ Simpson TRIAL was 11 months long. The jury was sequestered. The deliberated [IIRC] 3 hours because they wanted to go home.

Fiasco!

Jurors are paying attention and some are taking notes. #Zimmermanon9

He’s saving those “Lucky Leopards” for closing arguments.


They’ll “peek-a-boo” just above the belt line and just below the butterfly tatoo.

What was the pithy one liner, and what is it to achieve?

You'll have to ask Leni!

Question for those who no courtroom process, how is it determine who would go first in closing arguments, and is there an advantage to being first or last?

It’s only after he exited the truck to comply with the request to locate TM that the dispatcher told him not to follow. GZ complied....

This is false. The 911 Operator specifically said 'We don't need you to do that.'

It was not a command to not follow. It was basically a statement to protect the Authorities from a lawsuit if Z got hurt while following.

But, that does not preculde a civil suit at the state level, does it?

No it does not. Federal Civil right action would be criminal proceeding in Federal Court. A state civil action would be for negligence/wrongful death brought by the family. Two different cases.

Since they use Skype in court, no.

Slightly different case, but abortionist George Tiller as well as many other “Doctors” tried to used the KKK Act to stop protests at abortion clinics. I was not really a member of OR, but was friends with many who were, and was asked to observe and record protests for political reasons. Judge Kelly had me brought in under a Civil Contempt of Court charge for “violation” of his order.
(Look to my profile, sorry I had trouble formatting it. Also look to LINK at bottom of my profile, for a letter that I wrote to Kelly.)
Kelly found me in Contempt.
I appealed that ruling.
In the mean time, SCOTUS ruled that the KKK act was NOT available to the abortion providers, in part because CIVILIANS are NOT government employees, and that our actions were not, “Under color of law”. Civilians can not deprive you of Civil Rights, the Constitution restrains GOVERNMENT not individuals.

Federal charges for the same events. Mostly black jury. Zimmerman gets convicted.

While I wouldn't put it past them to try , in order to bring a federal civil rights action, the bad actor must be acting under color of state law. Zimmerman was a private citizen. An Example: In the Rodney King case, the cops were acquitted in the state court but since they were state actors they could be sued for deprivation of civil rights.

I recall reading that MOM’s skill in jury selection was so great that it should be taught in school.
I found that fascinating.

As so many seem really concerned with an all female jury, I trust that MOM knew exactly what he was going for in ending with jury make up.
