Jurors are not typically in court for procedural arguments and rulings as the matters heard are outside the case facts until such time as they are admitted into evidence and allowed to be properly presented.
There are very few positive things coming out of this trial.
However, it does reinforce my firm belief that we have a show trial system where both sides attempt to get the best “half truth” heard by the jury and the thing on the bench is just a tool of government abuse.
I hope if there is a riot after the verdict the judge gets out in the street between the two warring factions to try and stop it. Her deliberate and obvious attempts to subvert justice would be quickly rewarded.
This judge is either grossly incompetent or, in the tank for the Obamabots, 100%. She should be removed from the trial!! Also her manner is unbecoming to a respected member of the bench!!! She belongs with all the hating race baiters in the Obama/Martin camp!!!
They were on TM’s phone, so they are his. Let the jury decide if they are authenticated or not.
On HIS phone = belong to him in some way, shape, or form.
This nitwit is a judge?
I think she is just totally prejudiced for the prosecution.
It could be that the judge knows the state did not make its case and that acquittal is the likely outcome. Perhaps she is not giving the defense anything more to avoid giving Obama’s ignorant base any more justification for commencing the rioting they have been dutifully instructed to do by the lib politicians and media. Obama’s base is too stupid to comprehend rules of evidence. All they would take away from a ruling for the defense is that whitey judge let whitey racist defense counsel for whitey racist defendant defame choirboy young angel Trayvon. Sure, it could be grounds for appeal, but she may be willing to take the chance. Perhaps I’m giving her more credit than is due her.
She's not a Latina but she's certainly wise. (end sarcasm)
I think normally, while they’re arguing about what can and can’t be admitted, they excuse the jury; wouldn’t be much point otherwise. Course this judge is so incompetent she might have done it in front of them.
In the minutes officers expressed disapproval of Dr. Rao's "propensity to classify virtually all prison deaths as homicides, and lack of expertise by office personnel in the management of crime scene investigations."
I’m torn on this... because I have a teen and twenty something year old who grew up on the internet. I have little doubt T Martin wrote those texts... however, kids do borrow each others phones and notoriously write embarassing things on other peoples facebook pages, or text people without their friends permission.
Which is why I’m surprised the story of the boy who is sitting in jail for idiotic facebook posts is sitting in jail.
Authenticating the texts would be difficult, as T Martin is deceased.
