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 yall 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 States 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 wont 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 Trayvons body. Think about it.
Because of pre-trial motions in limine to exclude the defense bringing it up, OMara cannot mention it. Would/Will the jurors notice a missing M.E. = Trayvon blood tox. etc?

This might be huge.
It seems to me that the prosecution witnesses have been coached to say “I don’t understand the question” whenever a question is posed to them that they don’t want to answer.
bill schaefer thinks MOM blew it
Not sure her rejection of a motion to dismiss would be a reversible error. The charge of 2nd degree murder also incorporates lesser offenses, no? I could see her issue a ruling where 2nd degree would be off the table as not proved but that the trial should continue so the jury could consider lesser included charges. IANL
Evidence locker in STATE custody.
IF tampered with, STATE accountable.
MOM can play it again during the defense case, yes?
MOM could not cite any rules of evidence in support of playing the tape, yes?
Perhaps MOM could have said that in the interests of expediting the trial, play it now rather than later.
Maybe the judge has in mind a directed verdict and in her mind, there won't be a later, making some of the smaller matters moot (?)
BS on WFTV is so biased for the prosecution.
Again, I think all the media want eyeballs and they play it for maximum.
AND
Bernie should have waited to the end to call her.
ping
Fortunately the jury doesn't get to hear these talking heads.
how can you not get into an evidence locker/
is the key lost???
Or does the key not work?
ery troubling......seems like the evidence locker has been tampered with
****************************************************************
I guess there’s no hope that they are protecting the “crime scene” (the evidence locker)? Finger prints, entry logs, etc.
yep
Didn’t TM’s mother originally say the voice was not TM’s?
only because the evidence locker cant be opened
Sure appears that way, hence the reason I no longer watch/listen on that stream.
Am I correct that the problem with the evidence locker was in hearing of the jury?
Ooh ooh ooh ... so St. T is in heaven, eh? let’s explore that ... does his past behavior warrant a trip to heaven or to hell? Would MOM be so bold as to use that statement to bring in St. T’s past?
Can defense call the reporter to testify?
