Day 17 (Week #4) Zimmerman Trial – Witness Discussion Thread
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | July 2, 2013 | Sundance

Posted on 07/02/2013 5:16:14 AM PDT by Uncle Chip

Today, July 2nd, is DAY #17 (of 4th week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.

Today Detective Chris Serino will be back on the stand. [Yesterday ended] on the stand with Chris Serino, who was the lead investigator for the Sanford Police Department on the Trayyvon Martin shooting.

Defense counsel Mark O’Mara led cross-examination with his usual consummate skill, obtaining responses from this witness–remember, the State’s witness–that all but completely guts the State’s charge in this case.

Among the key revelations so far: Zimmerman was always completely cooperative, open, and straightforward with all the police investigators over many weeks of multiple interviews, both in person at the police station and phone. The sense given is that Zimmerman demonstrated endless patience. (continue reading summary)

They just said, she conducted autopsies on prisoners and charged fees. Also did exams barefooted.

I landed hard on the back of my head when I was 11, got up and went about my business for almost 3 years and started having grand mal siezures. I was on dilantin for 12 or 13 years, then everything cleared up, normal eeg results.

You can't really tell what head impact is doing to you.

They told me I probably had a blood clot which gradually dissolved.

Are any of those black kids going to be character witnesses for George??

I heard a while back that the defense had a mean and LONG line-up... never verified it though...

I’m sticking to the theory that the razor sharp (wet) grass cuttings rain caused all GZ’s injuries...

Everybody knows what happened to Natasha Richardson after a seemingly minor head injury. Any head injury has the potential to be life threatening.

You don’t have to touch the body. Which fits with washing her feet . Comprehend?

If not check up on burial traditions of various religions. Particularly their dealing with the “unclean”!

And that’s the missing element from the defense IMO...

You can’t say “why didnt’ he punch or fight back?” based on a completely healthy and alert GZ.

After you get your bell rung, it takes you a few minutes, seconds at least, to get your wits about you. In the meantime, he is completely overtaken and dominated by TM.

Again, not cool for a professional.

Plus she tacitly admitted she was prepped for testimony.

Very skillfully done by O'Mara, hope the jury caught it.

If you get the time, take a gander at this info.

Trayvon Martin – Who is Brandy Green, really?

http://radionewz.net/2012/07/trayvon-martin-who-is-brandy-green-really/

Gives a better perspective on what was going on at the Brandy Green ‘residence’.

As always, be aware of the source, verify the claims yourself. The information seems to be correct, as far as I can tell.

I hope defense ask their witness if injuries could have been enough to loose consciousness. If Z had lost consciousness, Treyvon could have easily killed him....

So no possibility of 3 strikes in the same spot (vicinity)....she’s a friggin’ liar...and her testimony is nothing more than her opinion.

-- It's not for the police to say whether the defendant was truthful? --

That is correct. Judge cited a number of cases on that point.

Bear in mind that usually, the police will be claiming defendant is lying. O'Mara mentioned that he'd like time to reseach the law, but I'm going to guess there are no precedents that fit a wrongful prosecution situation - truly innocent person taken into court with no evidence contrary to his claim.

Tumblin v. State, 29 So.3d 1029 (Fla 2010) HN 9, 10 and 11

Jackson v. State, 107 So.3d 328 (Fla 2012) HN 3 and 4

Pausch v. State, 596 So.2d 1216 (Fla 2nd DCA 1982)

this is interesting because there are many many people that the Prosecution could have called instead of her


More and more I think the prosecution is “throwing the game”. No way they are as stupid as they appear.

Thanks. I read that the detective said it looked like a piece of the awning, and found behind the bushes, which is coincidentally where I usually find those arched pieces of thin aluminum or steel after they come loose.

Every prisoner was a murder victim, for revenue purposes. Today Z was not hit more than once fore revenue purposes, as well.
