Judge Debra Nelson has behaved like a partisan hack the entire trial. Her asking George if he wanted to testify was beyond unusual. It was tantamount to jury tampering.
She wouldn't have done any of this if the trial were going the way she wanted it to.
How did she try to force him to testify?
What do you mean “she”? All I see is some dude with a wig on...
In your part of America isn’t that pretty normal though? ;)
She kept asking him if he wanted to testify over the objections of Zimmerman’s attorney. It’s not the judge’s place to ask such a question. It is up to the defense whether the defendant takes the stand, and no one else.
She kept badgering him.
Just remember, she was appointed by Jeb Bush. This is all going down under Rick Scott. Florida GOP is a bunch of RINOs. Crist was the tip of the spear.
By removing the barrier of client relationship to the attorney’s representing him.
She as looking for him to make a mistake and actually testify to his innocence or the circumstances, by inference or directly.
She was practically on her hands and knees begging him to testify..I dont know why Zimmerman said that he wasn’t sure yet, I think it would have made things easier for him had he said “No your honor, Ive invoked my right not to testify” and thats it..but she kept on twisting the knife, asking him this way and that way..I think the judge knows what most people know, this is gonna be a not guilty verdict..such a waste of taxpayer money in this idiotic trial, just to please the race baiters, who are going to riot anyway
You know, with Helen Thomas off the scene, she’d might be good for those times when you need a shock photo.
LOL, he does!!!
Sadly, I don’t believe that. The Defense did a great job but I still think the all girl jury will convict.
“Just remember, she was appointed by Jeb Bush.”
That’s good to know.
I wish i had your optimism
Man to man, smoke a Roi-Tan.
She looks like Ozzie Osborn wearing a wig. But Ozzie isn’t a _itch.
I thought the jury was not the when she asked zimmy iknow they were not there the send and final time she asked, but not certain about the first time she grilled zimmy
Did anyone see her condescending smirk when she told the defense lawyer “Ok your objection is over ruled then?
Since i knew she was on “furlough,” thought it was Lois Lerner with lighter hair!
She was completely ignoring his lawyers when she talked to him. Tried to ambush him into answering in a manner counter to what his attorneys would want.
