In a major blow for the prosecution in the George Zimmerman case, a judge on Saturday barred the testimony of two audio experts who suggested that a taped 911 call indicated Trayvon Martin was crying out for help during the violent struggle that ended with a gunshot,

Tiny step on that one, using just the word "profiling" is still in, along with "wannabe cop" and "vigilante".
From the moment the lead prosecutor stepped to the mic and said it was about “justice for Travon” it’s been nothing but a sham. They should all be cast out, disbarred and sued personally as well as criminally, so they end up as they’d have left Zimmerman. All of this was done under the color and authority of the state, at taxpayers’ expense. The prosecutors, their experts, everyone involved on that side has been paid by the taxpayers of the State of Florida. All the while they punished Zimmerman for not disclosing $ in a defense fund. What a disgrace and complete mockery of justice.
Why do you believe the judge is corrupt?
Why not?
We see it every week on the NCIS and CIS TV shows...:^)
This prosecution has little to do with what is in order from a legal standpoint. It has a lot to do political creatures fearfully pandering to the black grievance industry.
The real villains in this case aren’t in that courtroom or dead and buried.
Al Sharpton, Natalie Jackson, Ben Crump and the other purveyors of racial animosity did what they do. It’s a safe bet they got an assist from Eric Holder and the Community Relations Service, and they certainly got a public endorsement from “If I had a son” Obama.
All it took from that point was the green light from Pam Bondi and Rick Scott, both Republicans, and the prosecutorial fix was in. Angela Corey, Republican, was selected to do the dirty deed.
Oh, there are others, like the folks at the Orlando Sentinel who saw the money to be had in maintaining and stoking a false controversy. Throw in NBC and their creative tape editing, too.
What about the enlightened folks that passed young Mr. Martin through the juvenile justice system without an arrest record because it was a considered more important to keep the arrest of black youths statistically low than to enforce the rules as written?
Mr. Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin because he was in fear for his life. Our society chose to prosecute Mr. Zimmerman because we are more afraid of threats of mob violence and of being called racists than we are angry at the idea of unjust prosecutions. The rule of law is a trifle compared to our collective cowardice.
“I dont believe this trial is about guilt or not guilty, it as all about social unrest, riots and mayhem in the streets of the big inner cities.”
I think that’s true. A “not guilty” means that city burns and likely other cities burn, too, due to Sharpton and Jackson wanting cities to burn over the whole country.
The fear of Florida authorities that race riots could erupt are well founded. Jacksonville has a record going way back. Important buildings downtown have solid concrete faces - no windows. High schools call in the police on a regular basis to quell the fighting. It’s not pretty.
The person crying for help in the audio is the victim—George Zimmerman.
We can’t allow our justice system to be intimidated by threats from a mob.
oooo..I wouldn't open THAT door.
There's no way this man can get a fair trial.
That makes you an Informed Juror, the person most feared by the Statist.
Fortunately for the Socialist left, the mob doesn't need to intimidate to get what they want.
Tagline.
The sum total of the ruling and the only parts that have any bearing on the case...
“Based upon the above, it is ORDERED:
That the opinion testimony of Mr. Owen and Dr. Reich are hereby excluded from
trial.
This order does not prevent the parties from playing the tapes at trial or from
calling witnesses familiar with the voice of the Defendant or Martin to testify regarding
the identity of the person(s) making the screams.”
Once the jury is sworn, any dismissal of the case would be with prejudice. They could not try him again.
Even manslaughter in this case would carry a 30 year sentence in prison.
It was the prosecution experts that were epecfically not allowed, The judges orders did not exclude the defense’s experts.
Since the defense experts were not disallowed, their testimony is allowed to be presented to refute anything anyone else presents in the case rendering any prosecution testimony as invalid.
The judge sided with thew defense, not against it.
I apologize for any typos, the spell check function declared EVERY word as being misspelled.
The judge specifically named the prosecution experts as non-admissible. She did NOT exclude the defense experts who can now be used as expert testimony to refute anyone who claims to be able to identify Martin as the ‘screamer’.
Then afterwards will come the Civil Rights lawsuit.
she DID NOT rule out the defense experts and therefore their testimony can be used to refute the validity of anyone claiming to be able to determine the ‘screamer’.
Actually it only excludes the states ‘expert’ witnesses. It doesn’t exclude the defense’s witnesses from being allowed to state that it is impossible to derive any conclusions of who is screaming. It also doesn’t excludes the suspected ‘witness’ who heard the screams and thought that it was Zimmerman.
