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)

Agree. Sensed the same but I don’t think he was overly friendly to defense yesterday either. Serino comes across as cocky. The demotion had to sting a bit.

I have no idea what “it” is you keep referring to.

I don’t care. I just got tired of your attention whore rants.

[Jurors smiled after defense attorney Mark O’Mara tripped over a cord.]

I think the Jurors would have smiled no matter who tripped over the cord.

How do you misstake a slim jim for part of an awning???

I guess when the evidence tech can’t tell the difference between a can of Watermelon juice and a can of Ice Tea she is holding it in her hand, anything is possible.

Now you play the victim, and accuse others of interfering with your ability to follow?

Takes notes on a pad for yourself. We all want to watch, and your all caps shouting is not helpful. We can individually form our own opinions without your efforts to coach us in what we “should” conclude.

I kind of look at Serino alittle like John Good whereas they both are trying to stay in the middle and not appear favorable to either side, mainly to avoid vicious attacks, which I’m sure they’ve both experienced.

Serino, all in all (IMO) was a good defense witness.

Again, I apoligize for distracting the thread with a decsription of the yummy, mouth-watering, sweet & savory combination of chicken and waffles.

I am so bad.

Of course I miss stuff...

I didn’t follow the comic book line of questioning because someone brings me back into it and I have to respond

MY GOD, what is wrong with you people

The INTERROGATION TAPE IS CRUCIAL.

NOTICE HOW MUCH BACK AND FORTH IS GOING ON ABOUT IT.

********BUT IF YOU WANT TO BELIEVE IT DOES NO DAMAGE AND OMARA COULD HAVE IGNORED THEN DO SO

Yes, excellent interpretation of the medical evidence by MOM. Gravity draws the blood down Zim’s throat if he’s on his back.

I understand that concerning their field of expertise (voice anylization in your example).

But when it comes to discerning whether or not a person is telling the truth and whether their statements are supported by the facts.....who would be a more qualified “expert” than a veteran police detective who’s job it is to do just that?

Using that same logic, one could also argue that it was not in the same “language skill” for TM to politely ask “Why are you following me”, as Rachel claims.

I doubt they could have gotten any fingerprints. There was the sound of “wet grass.”

And yes WHY Zimmerman got out of the car plays into Bernie’s case.

You were wrong. You are wrong. You continue to make this stupid point and nobody gives a damn about what you think anymore.

You have worn out your welcome on these threads.

You challenged me to apologize when MOM tried to "rehabilitate" Zimmerman on this stupid ancillary issue and he didn't, did he?

No, he didn't because IT WAS IRRELEVANT!

Now drop the subject. You are only destroying the good reputation you previously had as an intelligent freeper.
