Day 16 (Week #4) Zimmerman Trial – Witness Discussion Thread
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | July 1, 2013 | Sundance

Posted on 07/01/2013 5:17:35 AM PDT by Uncle Chip

Today, July 1st, is DAY #16 (of 4th week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.

Last week the prosecution feebly presented the first series of witnesses against George Zimmerman. However, as most observers would note, the witnesses called by the state have so far been more beneficial for the Zimmerman Self-Defense position.

I want an answer about the smothering versus screams then the shot.

I want to know why he got out of the car if he was in fear for his life.

Would you???

I am done with answering you silly comments.

Enjoy the trial ~

And as I already stated, I would never bother family members over something I am coherent enough to interpret on my own.

Maybe you need to go find someone to discuss this with in person, they can probably shed some light for you, without tweets clouding your vision.

O’Mara suggested they stop for the day, but judge wants to ask the jury. They’re coming back in. #Zimmermanon9

There was a motion granted, that eliciting law enforcement legal opinion was out of bounds. “Probable cause” is a legal opinion.

Then YOU answer me.

Should O’Mara sit down because the tape is not an issue instead of trying to rehabilitate the situation.

Judge reading transcript. MOM was questioning specifically self defense and getting good answers. Pros finally objected. Judge is sustaining objection, which I did not understand,

I suspect the prosecution objected because the questions went to the ultimate issue in the case, i.e. whether Zimmerman acted in self defense. Asking the cop if he thought there was a basis for self defense is an opinion on the issue that the jury has to decide. The cop's opinion is not relevant. The jury has to make its own decision.

I see. Didn’t MOM get away with quite a bit in that direction?

OMG, are you paying any attention or just reading tweets?
Seriously?

He wasn’t in fear of his life UNTIL his head was being banged on the concrete, which obviously happened well AFTER he exited his auto.

Have someone put their hand over your mouth and see if you can still scream, I am going to bet you CAN.

Where are you trying to go with this line of thinking???

You bet he did.From a defense lawyer's perspective, you do it until someone objects.

Attorney....There was “Lots of pressure from the Outside”?

The investigator agreed.

Why are you fighting with me??

He is doing his job! He isn’t rehabilitating, he is cutting out the bullcrap that was tossed in the mix, with EDITED tapes.

The defense is getting paid a lot of money to fight at every turn and question every prosecution witness. This is your basis for saying it’s damaging? The fact MoM is going hard on cross and not just sitting on his ass and passing up on the cross?
And we need to consult lawyers to explain how a trial works? I’m really being pissing and don’t wanna be but you stated as a fact this tape was damaging then didn’t really back it up with anything except talking about tweets and talking head opinion.
