I don't see how any reasonably intelligent Jury gets to a finding of guilty, but this is FloriDUH we're talking about. Stupid bastards couldn't vote properly in 2000 then insisted on counting, re-counting, and re-counting again the ballots until they could find a way for AlGore to win the election. Thankfully that failed.
For sake of argument, let's assume this jury is reasonably intelligent, or has at least ONE reasonably intelligent person willing to stand their ground and find Zimmerman rightfully not-guilty.
After witnessing this judge's statements, the number of sustained objections ruled in favor of the Prosecution and against the Defense which flew in the face of the facts and testimony being presented, I personally wouldn't put it past this "judge" to set the Jury's verdict aside and issue a bench finding of Guilty against George Zimmerman.
Wouldn't put it past that corrupt dingbat b*tch of a judge to do it. I think the fix is already in, which explains her rulings in favor of the Prosecution time and time again.
It is as you say, I would not put it pass the judge. This POS was told during MOM’s motion hearing on dismissal she not only had all the info the jury had but also had info which the jury did not hear (some of which we heard during court arguments with the Jury out) which rendered a murder II at the least not sustained. She listened to his arguments feining interest and as soon as the state responded, issued her ruling in favor of the prosecution, no dismissal. I hope she chokes on her food this weekend so we can get a new judge. She, the prosecutor, and the DA are all guilty of conspiracy to murder Zimmerman if he goes to jail and is killed there IMO.
That is the one thing she can’t do. She can only overturn a guilty verdict, she can’t overturn a not guilty verdict.
OTOH since things are going so bad for the prosecution, she might decide to declare a mistrial and force Zimmerman to go through this whole thing again.
She’ll be looking for some response by a defense witness to claim prejudice to the state and just declare a mistrial and save her own butt and that of the prosecution.
I get your drift, but as a native Illinoisan now retired in FloriDUH let me tell you that the problem here is the transplants from New York City and its environs that put the DUH in FloriDUH.
They are everywhere, loud, pushy and aggressive Democrats....seemingly all of them retired from the NYC street and sewer departments .....and now moled into every town board, homeowners association board, election commission and parade committee in the state.
They surround me....and they all still love Obama.
The native southern-type Floridians are conservative and vote GOP and are in a constant state of fright and retreat from the perpetual onslaught of the busy, intrusive, hyper, irritatingly-accented, noisy, pushy, condo-commando, socialist-gimme NYCers that never seem to sleep or to lie back in this paradise to smell the hibiscus, LOL.

The Judge won’t have to pick up the slack to find Zimmerman guilty. Waiting in the wings is Eric Holder, ready to pounce just as soon as the trial is over, to press Federal charges against George Zimmerman. Not to mention the civil charges that Trayvon’s parents will be sure to file.
One way or the other, there will be someone out there to make sure that George Zimmerman’s goose is cooked. If I were George, and somehow made it out of this mousetrap, I’d move far, far away, like Alaska or Hawaii, as fast as I could, that’s if I wanted to stay alive. Alaska sounds like the best bet as there are less Blacks up there ready to use George as target practice.
