How can they be brothers with different last names?
Oh, it turns out that they are half bros. Maybe. No DNA tests there.
I hope she's "happy".
Bao Rao sounds like dog talk.
Which is why this case would be reversed on appeal by even the most liberal court, if GZ is convicted. Debbie Nelson has displayed naked bias and rank incompetance from day minus one.
Judges never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever grant that motion. It was NOT chickening out. (I hate it when non-lawyers comment like they know something).
IF he were to grant that motion (which he shouldn’t as the test is, is there enough for a jury to decide) then he opens the entire case up to appeal (assuming the State can appeal in FL in this kind of case and am sure they can). It would get sent back and the ENTIRE case would need to be retried.
He did the correct thing. It was an easy call. Any lawyer who practiced in criminal law (like me) would know that.
This article is brilliant.
Pretty good synopsis of the days antics. We watched most of it. You cannot make up a nutjob like that ME. He was so bizarre it was like being on drugs.
Before he was shot, why would be Trayvon be screaming help? He had no injuries like George had with a broken nose and head bleeding in 3 places.
With all due respect to this writer. He is as chicken, as the judge and the
rest of the cowards associated with this case. The last paragraph in his
article, he gives the Judge a pass, for passing the buck on dismissing this
farce of a case and giving it to the jury.
Too many people associated with this case have passed the buck already instead of making the right decision. This case should have NEVER been brought to begin with and the Judge was just another coward passing the buck in making the right decision. I would not be surprised if the jury passes the buck and convicts Z, thinking an appeals court will make it right.
George Zimmerman’s life is on the line because too many hacks have all
passed the buck.
The ME could not remember anything about the autopsy. Absolutely nothing. His mind is completely blank.
Until he could remember that TM hands were closed so he couldn’t get a picture of the palms. Then his memory was clear.
You are doing a great job with your ClashDaily.com site.
Kudos.
I’ve watched the whole trial and have tried to keep up with the ongoing thread about it.
You are spot on.
I rarely post, but this piece, and this is from someone who saw most of the trial today, is masterful. Thank you for posting it here.
“dicey testimony”
You lie about it and I’ll swear to it.
Roll them bones, baby.
Line of the day:
Bao: Nobody knows TrayvonMartin autopsy better than me.
West: Except that you know nothing about it.
Bao: Correct
Very well done.
There was another exchange about the TCH in the bloodstream. “So your opinion is that it affected Mr. Martin none at all or some?” “No, that’s YOUR opinion. My opinion is my opinion. My opinion is what I say. It is that it affected him not at all or some.”
Then the “Judge” who based her entire granting of the inadmissability of the pot use evidence on this clown saying it didn’t effect behavior AT ALL for TM still won’t allow the jury to hear anything about it.
It certainly explained George saying, “This guy is acting strangely. I think he’s on drugs or something.”
So instead of knowing that TM was using pot, which may have explained a strange walk or odd behavior or perhaps his poor reasoning skills (paranoia, aggression), the jury hears nothing about it.
Every chance to screw over the defense this Judge has taken.
NEver seen something so obvious a show trial. Was self defense from day one and obvious to anyone using any level of rational thinking.
Did anyone else catch Mantei’s statement that use of a gun in self defense is in itself evidence of a depraved mind? My ears aren’t the best but I think I got it right.
And, inside his head, there’s a voice saying, “Trayvon wouldn’t be caught dead squealing like a girl”...
Excellent summation.
Don West should be commended for not going over and slap the crap out of Bao...who obviously was lying on behalf and bequest of the prosecution
I am embarrased that my county has such people involved in a case like this...actually I am disturbed about it
