On Wednesday at the George Zimmerman trial, the prosecution called yet another witness who ended up testifying for the defense: Florida Department of Law Enforcement firearm analyst Amy Siewert. The prosecution had contended that George Zimmerman was on top of Trayvon Martin and pressed his gun into Martin’s chest before firing and killing him. Siewert testified, however, that there was no forensic evidence that Zimmerman had pressed the gun to Martin’s chest. In fact, the gunpowder residue and other material evidence showed that the gun was touched to Martin’s shirt, and that Martin’s shirt was not pressed to his chest, implying that Martin was on top of Zimmerman and that his shirt was hanging down when Zimmerman shot him.
The state also attempted to maximize the fact that Zimmerman’s gun was loaded, including a round in the chamber, before the fight. But Siewert admitted that guns are not of much use unless they are loaded and there is a round in the chamber.

I do forensic consulting and have made a number of trial appearances over the years—Absolutely cannot believe how unprepared/hapless the Prosecution appears.
In Jesse's case, one could say he lies like wet grass.
They’ve got very little to nothing to work with. Smart or not, if you don’t have the evidence, you just don’t have it. Most of their witnesses have been more helpful to the defense than to the prosecution’s case.
Agreed. It’s so weak, in fact, that if I were defending the case I’d move after the People rest for the judge to dismiss the case because no reasonable jury could convict.
The only true “Cracka” is a Creepy A$$ Cracka.
All the others are just Cracka wannabes.
The Lawyers on Greta's show couldn't believe the Prosecutor didn't jump up and Object.
sfl
26 feet huh? I'm a middle aged man and you won't make it if I'm that guy. I'm sure you are a super ninja and everything, but you might want to reconsider your abilities before testing them out against real bullets.
If you are an Olympic sprinter out of the blocks, 26 ft is going to take more than a second to cover. A flat footed start would likely take the same Olympian 2 seconds. In the situation I described, facing a ready firearm, that equates to four well aimed shots.
The prosecution is expressing terror at the notion that, outside immediate life-threatening need, one would carry a handgun both loaded and chambered.
Cops (and most anyone competent in armed self defense) carry handguns loaded and chambered.
Poster is suggesting, as a logical consequence, the prosecution should be terrorized any time around cops.
If it was easy to be a Creepy A$$ Cracka everybody would be doing it!
I think the prosecution’s witnesses have it all wrapped up for GZ in a sane world. Too bad we don’t live in a sane world.
I suggest you google the Tueller drill
Perhaps Jim should rename FR, Creepy A$$ Cracka Republic.
Although we’re not “all” Creepy, we admittedly do have a few A$$’s around here and despite the Liberal Mantra, we aren’t all Crackas either, so I guess it wouldn’t be an entirely apt description after all.
We are an eclectic group, that’s for darn sure. LOL
When the defense begins they should just say "We would like to thank the prosecution for making our case. Our client is innocent. He acted entirely in self-defense. Thank you, the defense rests."
Eclectic Ass Cracka Republic! Actual Crackaness not required. ;^)
bump!
