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)

Yes, I have noticed, and it doesn’t irritate me at all, for I lived through junior high school way so many moons ago.

I am one of the fair sex, by the way - fwiw. I am embarrassed by some of my “sisters”, however. They give the rest of us a bad rap.

Or, you could say, a deserved “profile”.

This is the only comment on the thread that I have read. I saw testimony today, is this about the Indian medical examiner? Wasn’t she special?/s

Other forums are OK, but they just don’t have the FLOW and TRACKING that F.R. has.

You can tell on F.R. just what poster made posts to you, and who you are replying to.

On other websites I have seen, all you do is throw up your opinion with only has your user name listed and then read the comments that occur after yours. You can’t tell for sure whether they are responding to you specifically nor who your response was addressed to.

It’s like a big meeting with everyone yelling at once, and no one listening.

I wish you luck and peace there, and I welcome your return if and when you decide. You were just becoming ‘popular’ with the Day Shift Zimmerman crowd.

The trend you noticed is not only on this thread, it is becoming quite wide-spread ion FR.

Just my opinion. . .
Recall the days when people would use characters instead of letters when referencing a profanity, or a time when name-calling (and using a profanity) was something frowned on and self-moderated.

That was when FR was adult, intellectual in their postings and was proud they were not like lefty sites because we (FR) would not “go there.” Today, we pride ourselves on not going there as much as lefty sites.

The coarsening of America continues. . .

It’s amazing how all these proponents of the “wanna be cop” attitude have the gift of reading the hearts and minds of other people. I have seen the same thing in the church for years. People who know others better than they know themselves. They never cease to amaze me. They are so gifted they know the inner most desires of others. There is no such gift!

I did figure that out on your very first post.

>> (true story, btw)... Went down headfirst onto the concrete curb.

That answers a LOT of questions I’ve had about you! :-)

(you know I’m just teasing you, FRiend... I value your thoughtful input here and elsewhere.)

“It’s amazing how all these proponents of the “wanna be cop” attitude have the gift of reading the hearts and minds of other people.”

See my 1516 - Z talks about the honorable reasons he wanted to be a cop in his testimony to Serino. I imagine that will be brought up.

In fact O'Mara had to remind the ME that it was he, and not she, who would be asking the questions.

I wonder if O'Mara will call another medical expert to rebut Dr. Rao's opinions.

>> Nelson did it with a Slim Jim in the Clubhouse.

ROFLMAO!

Now don’t tell me, Uncle, that you have joined the Joker Squad on your own dad-gum thread.

That was really good comic relief though!

You are correct, and it is very hard to figure out how other forums are structured in addition.

I say again, not leaving FR, just the Z threads. Popularity is not important to me, understanding what is happening matters more.

Must be my age - maybe I am getting impatient.

This trial will put O'Mara on the national stage as a sought after defense lawyer.

He was already well-known and well-regarded. But this trial has shown him to be a brilliant tactician.

>> Marcia Clack on CNN..... YIKES!

That’s scary.

Was “Clack” a typo, or a joke?

The muscles of the human body contract upon death. You may be 6’2” in life but only 5’11” on the ME’s table.

***Certainly anyone with a registered firearm in the state of Florida is made aware of SYG, self defense, etc.
And you live in Florida and have a CCW?***

I live in FLA and have a CCW. They do train us during the class, on SYG. It’s very critical to carrying.

Very well stated, Hulka.

It is a side-effect of becoming popular on the “interwebz”.

As our culture coarsens, I long for the “olden times, people were nicer to one another, even if they disagreed.

But, then, didn’t we go through a period of dueling, so I could be wrong. (Was once, IIRC. /sarc)

Why are they deposing Crumb?
*************************************
I think because he was pulling the strings on the manufacture of the “back story” on Dee Dee and likely helped Dee Dee come up with the dialogue that she later reported as having been said between her and Saint Skittles (to replace stuff such as “..so I told Trayvon to show that cracker just who the Knockout King is” with substitutes such as “Trayvon said ‘I’m frightened Dee Dee.’ and I said ‘Run Trayvon, run home!’”)
