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)

I think he probably said “you shot me”...but GZ said he didn’t think had hit TM and so what he heard of “you got me”...

“The most stunning part of this morning’s testimony is that Serino said that GZ was still in the vehicle when the word came to him that he didn’t need to follow him. “

I am pretty sure there is a point where GZ says he is still at the clubhouse in the car at that point...but not 100%

But that is one thing I am going to go back and find.

I didn’t scour their entire thread but overall what I did read of the comments supported that it is NOT Rachel Jeantel.

I got the impression Serino resented Zimmerman trying to ‘play cop’...then he went on and said he wouldn’t investigate a suspicious person standing in rain appearing to look into homes. He lost all credibility to me.

In my experience if someone exhibiting signs of being in an episode of mental illness crosses my path in the streets,

The police recommend you call their NON-EMERGENCY HOTLINE and give a description and location of the person.

Is it possible to speak after being shot thru the heart?

Absolutely. In fact where he was shot he probably didn't realize how bad it was until he was dead.

I did see a video where a convenience store clerk was shot in the middle of his heart and he cried out quite loudly and quite clearly "Oh My God" and then dropped.

I had an industrial accident case where a guy caught a piece of metal through his aorta and he didn't know it was serious. He just turned to his boss and smiled and said he was sorry and then he fell back and died on the floor.

Have you ever considered that a response is multiplied by the number of times it has to be repeated because of the NUMBER OF TIMES OF BEING BERATED OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN by POSTER AFTER POSTER AFTER POSTER.


You committed the cardinal sin of not being a party to groupthink.

Btw the fact TM was in grassy area by house and not on street or sidewalk when z first spotted him, could be considered trespassing

Common area is to be used by all Homeowners....it's not considered tresspassing.

>> 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.

Yeah, my sympathies (and prayers) go out to *most* of the witnesses, certainly including Mr. Serino — abused pawns in the state’s miscarriage of justice for political reasons.

Their lives have all been changed, not for the better, and not because of anything THEY did.
