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)

“The best example is the interrogator saying there was a video...and GZ responding “Thank God”. No bad guy with underlying malice would say that. “

Not true . Could be a front to fool police BUT NOT IN THIS CASE. I believe you could hear real honest relief in his voice.

Bernie and liberals always stop just short of the whole truth...be it statements, videos or recordings....and the public never hears the whole story. Sickening.

Abraham Lincoln said (although its less-widely circulated than his more politically-correct words) that the two races could never realistically co-exist in the same society.

Exactly. But this anti-Z judge will no doubt allow the state to cherry-pick whatever portions of whatever testimony they wish to keep in the record.

Lots of table-pounding from the prosecution today.

Baldo keeps driving this ill will speculation but if Serrino thought that the fp comment indicated ill will why didn’t he file Murder 2 charges???

I heard MOM saying he would call Serino as a defense witness. He could do that whole line of questioning then, I think.

Go ahead and ignore me. I bet I understand what is going on more than you do..especially since you think GZ’s motive for getting out of that car is not important.

You might actually learn something from me if you paid attention

“Serino is a fact witness. He’s not an expert...”

How can you say that?

He’s a 16 year police veteran and Detective. His JOB is forming an opinion on the veracity or lack thereof concerning suspects.

If he’s not considered an “expert” at forming an educated opinion on someones truthfullness than no such person exists.

BDLR is being desperately aggressive. He won the first few minutes by having Serino’s opinion of Zimmerman’s truthfulness thrown out, and now he’s trying to go for blood. But he’s just flailing.

I think that is the point that MOM was trying to make. It's this man's job to seek the truth and use his senses and opinion on what is true or not.

Actually, Baldo is addressing some issues that I was concerned about. The arm deal really has me puzzled.

Bernie asking about position of TM dead arms. GZ testified that he spread them. The dead arms were under the body.

which indicates that O’Mara does not believe that this judge will dismiss the case after the state rests and he’s telling her and Bernie and the court in so many words that things will get particularly nasty if or when she doesn’t.
