Jerry P. Counelis, in these pictures, has the look of a child-molesting pedophile. Not only wouldn't I want this creep on this, or any, jury I wouldn't want him to be a scoutmaster or teacher.

He’ll probably be some high-ranking official in the WH in another week or 2.

If Martin was on drugs (which is what Zimmerman thought from observing him) his thought processes may not have been rational. All he had to do was go to his father's girlfriend's place--he was in no danger from Zimmerman. He chose to confront Zimmerman, taking him by surprise.

Was Zimmerman supposed to tell him, "I'm a neighborhood watchman and I'm just making the rounds to make sure no one tries to break in to any of the units"?

After the Tea Party got national attention, some Democrats started forming "Coffee Party" groups.

If there are going to be 6 jurors, of which probably 2 to 4 will be minorities, all it will take is a few white "ringers" like this guy to have a jury composed of 6 people determined to find Zimmerman guilty. Maybe this guy was being a little more outspoken to distract attention to some buddies who are trying to get on to the jury for the same reason?

There might be a potential black or Hispanic juror who will approach the case with an open mind, but the judge will probably make sure they don't get seated.

It is certainly possible that Martin wasn’t completely there that day, but that doesn’t change the fact that Zimmerman, imo, made an error of his own that might have changed the situation.

Strange how WFTV didn’t bother to identify E7 as Counelis in the article. Why would they withhold his name?

Thanks

The venue for this trial will have to be moved, a prediction. A circus.

Hmm, I do not understand the legal mechanism by which the trial venue could be moved (other than, perhaps, a mistrial). I wonder if the suggestion is that a mistrial might be unilaterally declared by the judge. Or, that a mistrial motion be filed by the defense, mentioning something to do with the jury selection process and/or results...

It’s unfortunate, but Martin’s thought processes that night were probably the same as they were all the time—on drugs or not. Reading the texts traffic of his that was released, he had long since lost, if he ever actually had any, any rationality that may have guided him into the better path.

He CHOSE his path that night. It ended with his death but it very well could have ended with the death of Zimmerman.
