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)

Yep. Go after the lawyer. Sideshow.

TM’s mother at first said the killing of her son was “an accident”:

She changed her story later...

Judge: Counsel you are not allowed to insult the court.
Counsel: You honor and I permited my thoughts and what I can think about?
Judge: You are always free to think whatever you want.
Counsel: Thank you your honor, because I am currently thinking the court is a fool.

-—— -

That said, his daughter is not part of the case. She should be able to think whatever she wants. The government is attacking A CHILD WITH ICE CREAM?!?! Why? are they that desperate to throw the attorneys off they game? Are they so desperate for ANYTHING?

Remember the prosecution has admitted concealing evidence and hiding witnesses. So now they seek sanctions for ICE CREAM celebrating beating stupidity.

I imagine there is such a thing as jury intimidation but the comments I’ve read have been about getting Zimmerman himself or just some random white guy. I’ve not read of any jury threats yet. Perhaps there have been

That would make me more determined to get it right than to throw it. In the long run a right answer can be defended

His daughter is an idiot for posting that..but it’s not his fault.

Let’s say they yank West off the case. It looks bad for Zimmerman because it won’t be explained.

I thought Romney would win a close one. Was like living in 1980 and people voted for more Jimmy Carter. Insane.

Back to the trial: Looking at the ‘experts’ and juries HLN and CNN dig up, it seems like we are in living in two worlds. Doesn’t matter what evidence comes up at this trial, the Zimmerman is guilty crowd will not consider anything else.

I think the court will just admonish him and it’s more a Bar complaint-type issue. But jury won’t hear any of it.

About to start back up.

Why would the mother be called to testify?

It’s what I was suggesting yesterday. I think they may be doing the Eight Men Out thing.

The Judge can simply ban her from the court.

Also is the judge going to ban the bias media? the racism media? then CNN can be enjoined from ANY coverage.

Experts saying she’ll be ask to listen to the screams and identify them as those of her son.

..But the prosecution expert said there’s no way forensically to identify the voice.

Judge is going to allow a mother to testify like that?

They were claiming that it’s absurd to believe TM would make comments like ‘You’re going to die tonight’, etc.


If that gets brought up in court, Defense gets to bring up M’s past to show that it is, in fact, NOT absurd.

I see very few conservatives who think he’s guilty, but...

I am seeing more RINOs jumping on the he is guilty wagon.

My friends who are more Rinoish, are attacking GZ. There was something else too, but I just lost my thought train....

Remember, RINOs pushed this trial to begin with also

I’m not a conspiracy person, but something is hokie here.

It’s almost like the freaking immigration deal.

RINOs and Libturds vs. Conservatives and MOST PEOPLE on the glaringly obvious facts.

Hopefully they think it’s because of the knock knock joke.

True. It’s odd we haven’t had more talk of what the jury is doing or how they’re reacting except for one or two examples like the fact they smiled when MoM tripped.

The first time anyone hears their voice on tape, they are amazed at how different they sound. The sound we hear of our voices is different than the sound other people hear because we hear it through the bones in our head as well as our ears. I flatly denied it was my voice the first time I sang a song and was recorded. I was pretty young then, back in the late 50s and tape recorders were pretty rare, large reel to reel things, a friend had a small one, about the size of a suitcase, that she used to record a bunch of us, talk about being stunned when we hear our voices.

Screaming out of fear of dying would also change your voice. Zimmerman knows he was the one screaming and the guy on TV was a lying POS.

>> Why was that picture wrong? (Although it was creepy)

I’m wondering that too. It’s not like *West himself* posted it. His daughters are American citizens with free speech rights.

Probably just another BDLR “tactic”.

It could be interpreted as referring to a witness or to the case in general during the trial. Certainly unprofessional.

"One wonders if it would help if she lost the glasses and got contacts"

With all due respect to the judge, she needs a make over.

Her hair is fine, but she needs a diet and some toning exercises.

And, oh yeah, she needs to stop favoring the prosecution. (This would be my favorite)
