but when she asked whether he would like to, defense attorney Don West cut in,
“I object your honor.” Nelson overruled his objection before asking again.
Just like I told her to do.
This judge is a huge POS..she is practically begging Zimmerman to testify..she is salivating for it..just shows what side she is rooting for..Zimmerman would be an absolute fool to testify, he has already won the case
The obviously liberal (and therefore sleazy and untrustworthy) judgess is worried that she may have to undergo some Obamadork Chicago “justice” if she doesn’t succeed in throwing this case.
Obama is slime.
And so, for that matter, is she.
I object to that question. What possible reason does the judge have to ask that?
That question should be asked when the jury is not present.
This judge is a piece of work. It’s like she’s circumventing Zimmerman’s legal counsel inquiring into this.
It’s a type of intimidation.
Outrageous!!
The defense has not concluded nor rested their case and she is asking this now? Total BS!!
I certainly hope that exchange wasn’t in front of the jury.
If Zimmerman is convicted, the judge asking that question in front of the jury will likely trigger to events:
1. A new trial for Zimmerman and
2. Discipline for the judge
because the question could poison the minds of the jurors.
What a nasty piece of work she is.
I bet her husband sleeps on the couch....if she’s even married.
“No Judge, given your obvious bias against me, I don’t plan to testify beyond all the information I’ve previous supplied in various forms.”
That’s probably grounds for appeal right there if she did it in front of the jury. But since I doubt Zimmerman will be convicted then it’s pretty much a moot point.
The judge should direct her questions to Zimmerman’s attorney, that’s why he’s there!!
Outrageous!
I wish Zimmerman would have said, “Not if you are going to ask the questions”?
Just like I told her to do.
Your Honor, with all due respect, if you're going to try my case for me, I wish you wouldn't lose it.”
I’m just glad she’s not on the jury. What astounds though me is not that a judge would be so openly biased, but that she would be so in front of cameras in a highly watched case. She’s not even trying to disguise it one wit.
I think this judge is trying to create conditions to declare a mistrial so that the prosecution can have another shot at this. If it goes to the jury and they acquit, it is over for the prosecution.
If she can create her own mistrial, then everyone goes back to square one, and the state has another shot at Zimmerman. They will work on coaching up their witnesses better.
