Driving back from Miami-Dade today, and recognizing the defense had run out the clock on Sybrina Fulton’s opportunity to testify, this question crossed my mind: Should the defense ask her any questions?
I’m absolutely the wrong person to actually answer that question, because quite frankly I have researched too much about her.
But I’m wondering what you think?
Is the risk of seeming callous toward a grieving parent such that asking her deliberate questions should be avoided?
Should the Defense Team Cross Examine Sybrina Fulton Yes No Not Sure Vote View ResultsPolldaddy.com
If it were up to me, I would. But again, I’m way too close and too understanding of her manipulations. Almost all of which would never be grasped or understood by a jury. Especially a jury of women and Moms.
The types of questions I would ask would be to open doors to further evidence – The prosecution would never expect the defense would be so bold as to crack those doors with Sybrina on the stand – If you think about the evidence they would frame around her testimony, they themselves would be opening quite a few doors, is it possible to walk through them? I already know the answers to most of these specific questions, but would really like to see Sybrina’s reconciliation:
Who was the primary legal guardian of Trayvon – Yourself, or his father, Tracy ?
You have testified the voice you hear on the recording is Trayvon. When was the first time you heard this recording ?
Where were you at the time you heard this recording ?
What was the purpose behind your request to listen to the 911 call in Mayor Triplett’s office?
Was it your idea to ask Mr. Triplett for the recording?
With that in mind, how were you then, and how are you now certain the voice was Trayvons ?
You state with maternal certainty the voice you are testifying to was Trayvon…… Prior to the shooting of Feb 26th – When was the last time you actually talked to Trayvon ?
You state with maternal certainty the voice you hear was Trayvon….. Prior to the shooting of Feb 26th – When was the last time you physically saw Trayvon ?
When you heard from Tracy on Feb 27th at 11:05am that Trayvon was shot/killed, you never went to Sanford. Why is that?
So, when, approximately, was the first time you left Miami and travelled to Sanford/Orlando? Can you remember the purpose for that visit ? Who did you meet upon arrival ?
Where exactly was Trayvon physically living prior to his departure to Sanford ?
Was Trayvon living with you on the final day he attended Krop High School ?
Did you pick him up from School? How did he return home that day from School ?
Trayvon had a cell phone on his person when he was shot and killed – who was the primary account holder for that phone ?
What was the first name of Trayvon’s closest male friend ? Who did he “hang with” ?
Approximately two weeks after Trayvon was shot, you filed a Trademark application to trademark the phrase: “Justice For Trayvon” – why was that ? Was that your idea ? If not, whose idea was it ?
A few questions that “I” would ask her (but that’s just me)...
“Why was Trayvon left unsupervised, even after his third suspension from school?”
“Was Trayvon given any punishment or disciplinary action at all for having been suspended for the third time? He still had his cell phone and he had around $40 in cash. Was there no thought from you or his father to restrict, punish or ground him at all?”
Trayvon was the product of a broken home and piss-poor, neglectful parents. He was being treated as an adult by his own parents and allowed to do whatever the hell his little heart desired, apparently. And he ended up suffering the results and consequences of his own actions... just as an adult has to. I would say his parents failed him in every way possible.
How long has trayvon not lived with you?
Why did trayvon not live with you?
LOL
Well the racist hate-mongers (like Jaimie Fox) are doing everything they can to incite riots and invoke fear in the hearts of the jurors if they bring back a verdict of “Not Guilty”. And you know damned well that each and every one of those jurors will have their entire lives exposed and then picked apart by the idiot left in America, should they not convict Zimmerman of something. The end result will be, there will be seven victims and targets if GZ is not convicted, along with a lot of randomly picked “whiteys”, no doubt.
He was a good boy - loved his mama,
Loved fightin’ and Skittle Lean Stew.
He was a good boy - Like Obama’s son.
Loved Beat Downs, hated Crackers too.
There fixed it
Her testimony will only be for identification purposes. She will swear the voice on the phone was her son. The defense will probably just ask one question. “Isn’t it true that your husband, with whom he was living at the time told you and others that he did not think it was Trayvon?”
BDLR will jump from his chair and scream “OBJECTION. Hearsay”. The Judge will sustain the objection and MOM will say “I have no further questions”.
They just played most of DD s testimony on HLN
The comment about out of jail
Was in response to a question about why she hadn’t gone to the poiice
She mumbled something like “ I didn’t know he was out of jail” referring to the person who killed TM. IOW
she can forward to make sure Z was put in jail
Here’s the truth. Based on the following what’s the best question you can come up with? My best idea so far is “there’s absolutely nothing redeemable in anything that’s happened, is there?” She might talk and if she didn’t, the Lawyer would look like he was sympathizing.
From http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Did_Trayvon_Martin_live_in_gated_community_where_he_was_shot#page4
“Did Martin live in the community? No, he lived in Miami. Trayvon was on 2-weeks suspension from Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High after marijuana residue was found in a baggie in his backpack. During his suspension, he went to see his father in Central Florida. At the time of his death, Trayvon’s father was visiting his fiancee in the gated community where Trayvon had an altercation with George Zimmerman (verdict still out on who exactly started it) that ended in Trayvon being shot and killed. The trial began on June 24, 2013.”
There you go --
Bernie got outplayed yesterday. West was supposed to finish up earlier and then Bernie was going to put Sybrina on for emotional effect to end the day — but West filibustered with the DNA guy draggin it out to 5:30 and a scheduled deposition.
If Bernie puts Sybrina on first thing tomorrow she will be a distant memory by lunchtime. Thus Bernie is spending today trying to find witnesses to take up the court’s time tomorrow morning. That means that we may very well see Shiping Bao, the Medical Examiner who screwed up badly and who Bernie was trying to keep off the stand, along with his autopsy report that is so noticeably absent.
Good improvement!
How did the ME mess up the report? Do we have a copy of it?
West talked about some of it with the DNA guy yesterday. They let rain wash away blood on the hands, they left the body in the rain foot exposed, they removed the clothes and put them in plastic bags where they became moldy, they only scraped one fingernail on each hand, they didn’t scrape the back of the knuckles for GZ’s DNA, they got the height wrong by atleast 3 inches, they didn’t draw the blood samples properly for the tox test, they have the tattoos on the wrong shoulder, they didn’t start the autopsy for two days and rushed through it and released it before properly processing it .... and their contact in SPD was Chris Serino the biased cop who is still biased whose prejudicial words he put in the report.
He also questioned Serino about it. Do we have a copy of it on line?
The FBI voice expert said a relative might be able to recognize the voice.
This is only part of the autopsy — pages missing
