The second degree murder trial of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin took a bizarre turn tonight as the judge presiding over the case stormed out of her courtroom over the objections of defense attorneys.
Judge Nelson had heard several hours of after hours arguments on proposed defense evidence and witnesses.
As the 10 o'clock hour drew near, Nelson announced the court would be in recess until 8 a.m. tomorrow, prompting objections from defense attorneys O'Mara and West that would not give them time to prepare for the day. Nelson told them she didn't want the jury to have to wait like they did this morning. As West complained that he physically could not keep up the pace the judge was forcing on the defense Nelson bolted from her chair and stormed out of the courtroom.
The entire 16 minutes of the YouTube video of the end of today's session is worth watching. Advance to the last few minutes, about 14:00, for the fireworks.

Sad.
What is your opinion of the all-women jury?
Did she allow anything in tonight ?
Thanks for that update kristinn. Based on video after 14:00, it sounded like defense will appreciate extra hour if you local news is correct.
A woman judge. Great. What do we expect but hysterics from a womanespecially one invested in the pressure from above
Right....
Does Lance ITO ring a bell ?

Possibly throwing out defense testimony tomorrow
Denying time for defense to get tomorrow;s testimony
and more ...
That’s not exactly accurate. She had hearings on just about all that stuff, but she decided *nothing.* Just got up and left.
Zimmerman’s acquittal is going to be a bitter, bitter pill for the man who looks like the father Trayvon would have had if Trayvon had a father.
That’s a good post. The defense is rightfully up to here with the corrupt judge.
By the way, that’s the first I noticed Zimmerman is left-handed.
But would the Florida Appeals Court be just as corrupt as this kangaroo court judge?
We are all George Zimmerman. This trial goes all the way to the top...Obama and Holder with the Rev’s Al and JJ in the mix. It’s about $$$$$ and extortion by BGI. Google it. NAACP Nat’l. Convention starts Friday in Orlando. A perfect storm.
Thank you. I am smartphone Impaired tonight.
Tonight specifically as opposed to today? Hmmm ..
You might want to listen to day’s testimony ... all 14 hours of it. It’s not all up yet. Today is day 20:

Please don't get me started. Let's just hope they make the right call.

Amplified: Not a thing. Not a damned single solitary thing. Nothing.

Not likely, chickee. Perhaps you can demonstrate how women are much more unemotional and level-headed than men. I won't hold my breath, though.
Attornys in Court 8AM.
