They didn’t have a case. Only innuendo.

Should never have gone to trial.

Just my opinion.

[SampleMan]

Instead of embarrassing a key witness, the State could have asked the defense to simply agree to put the letter Jeantel wrote to Martin’s mother into evidence.

But she didn't write it, did she PMSDNC? So what the State should have really done was interview Jaba Jeantel correctly, without the parents present, and press her hard for the real story. Then they should have dropped all charges against Zimmerman.

It is of course some whitey's fault that Jeantel has an IQ of <80 and is a liar.

[Vendome]

I actually watched most of the prosecution presentation and that weird closing.

I thought they put on an excellent case for reasonable doubt or total doubt of the charges, For The Freakin Defense!!!!

It was so pathetic or blatant, not sure which, I didn’t bother to listen to the Defense.

Absolutely weird.

Don’t understand why everyone who is agitated over this isn’t screaming about that display of ??????

[Navy Patriot]

Just my opinion.

Your opinion matches the facts.

[NonValueAdded]

Seem a Lyer? Is there Sum Ting Wong with that?

[sirchtruth]

I'm not a lawyer. I don't even know that much about the justice system in this country, but I do know this: Zimmerman never should have been brought to trial because the prosecution had NO evidence whatsoever to convict this man.

This tells me Corey was either "directed" to bring this to trial or she was just unbelievably STUPID and evil.

[supercat]

Even though there's a gap of a minute or so between the end of George's call to the police and the time he started screaming, and there's no evidence George can use to show that he wasn't harassing Trayvon during that time, nothing the prosecutor could claim about that time would overcome the fact that for at least 45 seconds before the shooting Trayvon was savagely beating George without any even remotely plausible justification. That in and of itself would justify a self-defense claim regardless of anything George might have done during the mystery minute.

On the other hand, I don't see any reason the prosecutor had to let the jury find that out during the prosecution phase of the trial. If it had focused on the fact that Trayvon Martin was killed by a bullet that came from George Zimmerman's gun, and forced the defense to bring in self-defense evidence during its phase of the trial, I would think that it might have managed to be ahead at halftime, and might have been able to put GZ into a position of having to testify [since the defense would not have been able to tell GZ's story via his statements to the police had not the prosecution done it for him].

Or she is, as she herself would put it, "retarded".

[Procyon]

MSNBC article written by an idiot. “If Zimmerman had testified...” He would have been twisted apart in cross examination. Obviously, the defense exercised his 5th Amendmnt rights. How is an effective defense responsible for the collapse of the American judicial system? Yes, show trials in totalitarian societies always result in convictions. That how their judicial systems work.

It gets worse (or better, depending how you look at it) as you keep reading.

It actually gets more and more amusing.

Two points on this - the Liberals are now doing something they're really good at: presenting the argument that it didn't work because the "right people" weren't the ones doing it.

Second, I said a day or two ago that a really good option for Conservatives would be to start arguing that the State intentionally threw the case. This writer seems to be going down that road, but doesn't quite get there. But I think it's a sign that things are moving, quickly, in that direction.

Hey, looky here: this whole thing was “nudged” into position so the kenyan could get hold of his needed “crisis.”

The kenyan didn’t give a flying eff about that 17 year old, nor did or does eric “the red” holder. (Side Note: BTW, go to Paris Island, see how many 17 yo “teenagers” are learning the useful art of war. Army bases too. Or go to Chitown and see how many get whacked in a single night.)

What they wanted were riots. Lots of them. Rile up the black folk and watch the fireworks. Then, when things get bad, they clamp down.

In the kenyan’s mind, when blackies and whiteys are at each other’s throat, he’s in fat city.

Useful idiots all.

Eric “the red” and the kenyan have embarked on a “nudge” campaign. Get a goodly sized bag of your favorite popcorn, (cooked in COCONUT oil), and your favorite lawn chair, and watch the spectacle unfold.

This is JUST the beginning.

The witness who saw the guy in red *on the bottom* getting the tar beaten out of him is what set GZ free.That and the photos of his bloody head and face.

“Or she is, as she herself would put it, “retarded”.

I see Piers Morgan will be speaking at her tonight at 7. As one poster put it, does she speak British?

[Nervous Tick]

BL>> Just my opinion.
NP>> Your opinion matches the facts.

Ben, your opinion ALSO matches the educated opinion of the closest law enforcement to the actual incident. They thoroughly reviewed the same facts and decided that Z should not be charged, as he was acting in self defense.

It turns out they were right. It’s a shame that one of them was driven out of his job, and one of them was demoted, before their good judgment was confirmed.

[LibLieSlayer]

WHEN A MAN IS CHARGED WITH 2ND DEGREE MURDER BASED UPON RACISTS DEMANDING A TRIAL... EVEN THOUGH IT WAS CLEARLY SELF DEFENSE... THEN IT BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO PROVE AN INNOCENT MAN COMMITTED A MURDER BASED UPON RACISM... WHEN THE PROSECUTION’S ENTIRE CASE WAS BASED ON LIES AND THE FACT THAT THE ENTIRE TRUMPED UP ARREST WAS BORN OUT OF THE EVIL OF RACISM. THEY TRIED ZIMMERMAN TO KEEP SANFORD FROM BURNING... I CALL THAT EXTORTION.

[ronnietherocket3]

It wouldn’t shock me if the prosecution (and judge) knew this was a political trial and that they would be left out to dry if things went south. As a consequence they did their best to throw the trial without looking like it so no one could some after them for prosecutorial misconduct but if Zimmerman were found guilty he would have lots of ground for appeal.

[IncPen]

The entirety of this show trial was aimed solely at what is happening now, the aftermath.
