Andrew F.

BREAKING: ”The Law of Self Defense, 2nd Edition” is now also being carried by Amazon.com, at list price but with a commitment for 2-day delivery. A Kindle version to come within a week or so (I hope).
Many thanks to Professor Jacobson for the invitation to guest-blog on the Zimmerman trial here on Legal Insurrection!
You can follow Andrew on Twitter on @LawSelfDefense (or @LawSelfDefense2 if I’m in Twitmo, follow both!)on Facebook, and at his blog, The Law of Self Defense.
A real piece of work.
This is a political trial. Just as were those Stalin purge trials of the 30s. Same with Paula Deen even if she hasn’t even been put on trial. I’m pretty sure that George Zimmerman was an Obama supporter — just like Paula Deen. The targets of Stalin’s purges, Yagoda, Bhukarin, Kaminiev, Zinoviev; etc., were friends of Soviet Dictator, Josef Stalin. We are Soviet America now.
But George’s parents were barred from the trial because they were potential witnesses. How are Trayvon’s parents different?
One can only hope for a bull's eye.
Let it just be said that not only was his testimony not compelling of guilt, it would seem prudent for Dr. Bao to be exploring alternatives to his present employment.
Lol.
Mantei provided the State’s counter to the motion for a directed verdict in a manner that cannot readily be described in language suitable for a family-accessible blog. To say it was histrionic, lacking in factual evidence, and rife with abject fabrications, would be to put the matter too kindly.
Lol again.
I expect that not only will there be a vigorous defense, it will be a 10 gauge double-barreled coach-gun defense, to the head.
There needs to be. It needs to be long, detailed, and vigorous, and leave no doubt in anyone's mind that this trial was bull**** from the start.
Mr. Branca undermines his credibility as a knowledgable source due to repeatedly misspelling Sybrina Fulton’s name.
This writers work is awesome work and great reading.
Branca has done great work in covering this trial, and analyzing all the legal issues in a way that many can understand...except maybe a TrayBot
