Today, July 5th, is DAY #19 (of 4th week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.
The State is expected to wrap up their case today – A great recap of the trial so far is available HERE: The key witness today expected to be Sybrina Fulton, mom.
Great Expectations? Remember, as y’all have noted during the 15+ months of research, there is so much corruption in the assembly of this case we could expect the State to avoid the traditional witnesses brought by normal prosecutions. We have not been disappointed in our predictions. The state has already won a pre-trial motion to bar the defense mentioning the absence of any witness from the State’s case.
So it comes as no surprise, not a single State investigator has been called, not a single FBI officer, only one local investigative detective, Chris Serino (who supported the defense), and now the profound possibility they won’t even present the Seminole County Medical Examiner. So has the State actually even proven that Trayvon is indeed, deceased? Without the M.E. the ballistics are essentially moot – where did the aforementioned bullet come from? They have not established it came from Trayvon’s body. Think about it.
Because of pre-trial ‘motions in limine’ to exclude the defense bringing it up, O’Mara cannot mention it. Would/Will the jurors notice a missing M.E. = Trayvon blood tox. etc?

That was the MOST PATHETIC statement I have ever heard from the state. The whole arguement against direct verdict should be studied for the amounts of hyperbole and untruths.
I wonder what the jury is doing? Knitting? Quilting?
776.012 Use of force in defense of person.—A person is justified in using force, except deadly force, against another when and to the extent that the person reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or herself or another against the other’s imminent use of unlawful force. However, a person is justified in the use of deadly force and does not have a duty to retreat if:Being on the ground and pummeled by a larger, younger, fitter person is reasonable grounds to be in fear of death or great bodily harm, given the frequency with which such pummelings result in death or brain damage.(1) He or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony; or
The state government could care less about the facts..
They made this inordinately clear in this trial, over and over and over.
I say meditating on the sound of wet grass.
You can’t read what you wrote? Sit down.
Nice, O’Mara clarifying that the prosecutors have been saying “these assholes, they always get away” in a different tone than Zimmerman did. That’s something that has annoyed me this whole time. Zimmerman sounded exasperated to me, not angry or hateful when he said that on the police call.
lol, “who really knows”?
Oh... now that would have been a 3-popcorn pkg event!
This judge has no sense of fairness in her, I’m afraid. I will be shocked and stunned if she complies with MOM’s move for an acquittal.
The sad part is the elite media will play only the prosecution perspective. See clueless toobin on CNN.
The fact the ME was ripped to shreads faster than a cow in a pool of pirannah will go totally censored.
“The defendant was the one with the MMA training”
Could that statement be brought up later putting Trayvons training in?
qualifyin wet grass was allowed cause the Judge grazes
Being on the ground and pummeled by a larger, younger, fitter person is reasonable grounds to be in fear of death or great bodily harm, given the frequency with which such pummelings result in death or brain damage.
PERIOD

Mantei: “The defendant is the one with the MMA-training.” #GeorgeZimmerman’s injuries “significantly exaggerated.” #ZimmermanTrial

There was a shot over the bow.
Hell yes! Just the broken nose alone would have been legal grounds for self-defense. But the pummeling and smothering and bashing the head on the concrete just convinced GZ that his life was in danger. And then TM reached for his gun.
Holy crap... this case/trial is just pure bullshit.
By grass, you mean weed? Maybe that is why they couldn't open the evidence locker this morning ... the judge needed a fix from Trayvon's pocket.

Crossword puzzles: “A ten letter word beginning with P: something absolutely perfect (in the extreme).”
you mean Toobin...the married tv lawyer who knocked up jeff Greenfield’s daughter that got in a fight w/ her cause she would not get an abortion...That Toobin ?
