I guest that this is “kinda” “Good News” for the truth.
Is this a good thing? I thought the ‘experts’ thought it was Z screaming, is that now out as well?
Was Trayvon screaming this while bashing Zimmermans face in?
I think the judge is protecting the prosecution from itself. The next question is whether the judge is going to allow any expert witnesses using approved methods and having higher credibility who say it is Zimmerman.
I have to nitpick that headline. At this point the witnesses the state wanted to use can hardly be called “experts”. That was the problem. They are not.
At first blush this seems to be a much needed victory for Zimmerman.
It is going to be very hard for the prosecutor to construct a plausible scenario in which that is Martin’s voice on the tape.
In fact, I know everyone thinks that Zimmerman is being railroaded. And no doubt there are many in the press and the race-baiting black grievance industry, and probably including the judge, who want that to happen.
But unless there is stunning new surprise evidence that materially changes the picture that has emerged from the reported evidence — notably the angle of the bullet into Martin’s body, and the wounds on Zimmerman’s face and head, I don’t really see how Zimmerman gets convicted.
I don’t necessarily have faith in our justice system, but there is nothing plausible about the prosecution story that Zimmerman hunted down Martin and shot him, and that Zimmerman was not defending himself.
The ORDER EXCLUDING THE OPINION TESTIMONY OF MR. OWEN AND DR. REICH
http://www.gzdocs.com/documents/0613/order_excluding.pdf
One of the experts, Alan R. Reich, had concluded the voice he identified as Trayvon is heard yelling “I’m begging you” and “stop.”
Reich must have grown up with the Sergeant Pepper album(i think that was the one) and believes one song played backwards said,”Paul is dead”.
How does a six person jury work in FL? Does it have to be unanimous? Can one juror queer the the deal?
1. The voice was of zimmerman
2. Zimmerman, not Trayvon, called 911.
End of story. Trayvon was trying to kill Zimmerman and any witnesses. What is the problem?
Likewise, psychiatrists should be banned too. Whichever side is paying them is who they side with. How else could two “experts” come to directly opposite conclusions, in case after case.
I am still surprised with this ruling.....this Nelson makes Lance Ito look like John Marshall
I think every prosecuting atty in FL not under Angela Corey would have screamed bloody murder.....to allow certified frauds in as expert witnesses would have set a precedent...every defense atty in the state would have all kinds of quacks testify as expert witnesses
Of course..the lynching continues
Trayvon Martin was naught but an ugly, mean street thug!!! This “Race” jazz is getting a bit much!!! We shall see....who prevails!!! Justice...or political correctness!!! Sad commentary on the status of America today!!!
I thought Trayvon’s dad said I wasn’t he when he first heard the tape. Changing story?
Saying "George Zimmerman, accused of second degree murder" would be more professional.
There's a saying that when the evidence is in your favor, present the evidence, when it isn't, present experts. Now the state has neither.
