If the prosecution has really done such a poor job, I think it would be wise for the defense to put on NO CASE. After the prosecution rests, the defense attorney should stand up and say, “Your honor, the defense also rests. And we now have a motion we’d like to make to the court outside the presence of the jury.” The jury leaves. The defense makes a motion to dismiss. If the judge won’t dismiss the case for lack of evidence, the court decides if 2nd-degree murder and/or manslaughter will be considered by the jury. Then closing statements.

If I was the defense, I’d want to get this case to the jury as quickly as possible - if it even makes it to the jury. The prosecution isn’t even close to “beyond a reasonable doubt” in this case. They’re prosecuting Zimmerman because racists like Al Sharpton are demanding it. The 2nd-degree murder charge is such a blatant overcharge. The prosecution team deserves jail time more than Zimmerman does.

and if you think i am exaggerating we are having people pull their air out over 1 guy who shot a black trying to kill him and worried about rqce riots from one trial,

if a bunch of people across the country defend themselves from rioting black mobs, killing scores of violent black rioters,

you don’ t think obama will use the dhs armored cars are billions of round to go after whites and other non-blacks defending themselves? you all do remember the targets dhs bought of unusual folks to fire at, every one of them was a white person.

they have been projecting this for months.

they have not even proven voluntary or involuntary maslaughter either according to florida definitions of what constitutes each of those charges and what needs to be proven.

I for one, am disgusted with them.

That’s why I stressed, consider the source.

Judging by the looks of this Sanford PD officer, I’d say in her 40’s. That would mean her parents were most likely little kids during WWII, if they were even thought of back then. I know, those are her grandfather’s medals he earned in the war and it’s her way of honoring him. Yeah, yeah, that’s the ticket. I’m surprised the LSM didn’t spin it that way.

What Nancy Grace didn’t tell you is what O’Mara did on cross with that. It was raining that night and the witness agreed that rain would have washed away fingerprints. So in the end, that bit was a ‘wash’.

So am I. I am defending my Father's honor who took the long winter road through the Ardennes to the Rhein campaign. Three bronze and one silver medal as a combat engineer, and because of a fire in Missouri I will only know part of the truth of what he did. I am angry. He left Berlin as part of the Third Army leading an Organic Engineer Unit during late 45.

If it was not for the amorality of these people, there would be no morals at all.

He knows $ybrina is the poison pill to the case. $cheme Crump may choose to self destruct the case by having her do or say something stupid and purposely cause a mistrial. GZ will be tried until they get the result they want. They are evil.

Consider this....

Thus far, all we have seen is the prosecution’s case. With few exceptions, each “star prosecution witness” has only corroborated and bolstered the defense’s case.

“GZ has made a statement that TM tried to take the gun from him.”

And that is expected to leave DNA? Sounds like a straw man to me.

It seems like the media is complicate if there are riots if Zimmerman is found innocent. I’ve been following the threads on FR and know the details.

Was flipping through the channels, and on one of those text things scrolling was “Zimmerman claims Trayvon grabbed gun, but Trayvon’s DNA not found”.

Or things like “Zimmerman, 39, followed an unarmed Trayvon, a black youth, age 17, into the....”

“Why bother? The prosecution has done a fine job of making Zimmerman’s case.”

Because we want to see MOM take down baldy and the feds “martial arts style” in the courtroom.

Here’s an article that may explain this.

http://blogs.militarytimes.com/battle-rattle/2013/07/03/police-department-cancels-use-of-dod-ribbons-following-navy-cross-recipients-call/

Sanford went on the cheap for decorations when there are a ton of companies out there that make police ribbons.

The riots will send more people to the gun stores.

People are better armed but the memories of the Rodney King riots have faded. When the verdict gets close, you people better go heeled. I’ll be watching from the cheap seats since we don’t have to worry about this stuff. The only black kid in my son’s grade has one of the highest GPA’s and speaks 3 languages.
