Day 22 (Week #5) Zimmerman Trial – Witness Discussion Thread

They might try 18 USC 249 and argue it's a hate crime, but that would be a stretch.

Given the evidence presented in the state case, I find it hard to believe a rational, impartial, federal jury could ever conclude so. A Federal 're-trial' of this case to achieve an opposite verdict would not be well received by the rational portion of this country, and should not be attempted...

Mike in Indy Mike in Indy ‏@MRMitchnet 5m That doll should have had a string on it that you pull and it says, "crazyass cracka!" #zimmermantrial #zimmerman

Marv Steigman ‏@Reasonableview 7m Best line in Zimmerman trial today, Defense to State: "Can I borrow your doll?"


Wild About Trial ‏@WildAboutTrial 28m It's amazing the difference in comments I get from you all from when Guy is using the doll compared to when O'Mara is. #Zimmerman

This is a freep!

I don't believe judges can be disbarred. Technically, they don't even have to be lawyers.

This judge would clearly disagree with ZOT-ing. After all,who know who actually typed it. It could have been ANYONE at the keyboard.

[BlueDragon]

Getting confused. Is this a beauty tips thread? I may have gotten lost.

When the gals tell me they are going to "the beauty shop" I always ask them to bring me a doggie bag.

That bald-headed former prosecutor on CNN just said the witness has been a disaster for the defense because the prosecutor has completely changed tactics and are now agreeing with the defense that Zimmerman was on the bottom.
He said the prosecution is trying to mow prove that Zimmerman could have gotten away and didn’t have to shoot. He goes on to say the the shrimp name Guy has poked holes in the testimony of the expert by getting him to agree with him.

the fix was always in

[longtermmemmory]

never say never.

you have six mothers watching a “grieving mother”

of course now the father’s testimony is tainted.

I want to see crump’s testimony.

[Solson]

That lego is white.

[RummyChick]

there is at least one case that is right on point for this and it should be allowed in..sorry can’t tell you the name because I saw the name this morning

WTFTV hedged and didn’t say it was outright reversible error..said it is possibly reversible error

[Tijeras_Slim]

Everyone’s a critic.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Many of the talking heads I have seen have found a way to describe every witness as a disaster for the defense.

[Kansas58]

But in those areas not requiring “color of law” I do think some type of “class based animus” is required, right?

---

“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.
No, 18 USC chapter 13 has several parts that do not involve government actors.

They might try 18 USC 249 and argue it’s a hate crime, but that would be a stretch.”

[machogirl]

That stinks.

[BlueDragon]

A bald man is said to have high intelligence so bald man is good.

I'm getting smarter!

[JPX2011]

Interesting. I wonder how the prosecution would intend to “prove” that Zimmerman had other options?

[Hoodat]

True. But GZ is no OJ.

True. Unlike OJ, Zimmerman is actually innocent of the charges.

[Solson]

Lumarque?

[sport]

I was referring to the judge.
