They didn’t have a case. Only innuendo.

Should never have gone to trial.

Just my opinion.

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.

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 ??????

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.

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].

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.

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.

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.

Yes. Let’s blame the state.

Why can these idiots not get a simple concept into their heads?

There never was a case.

The author is an experienced lawyer, but I think her status as a New York liberal is coloring her comments.

True, the evidence was bad for the prosecution, but it's all they had. It's not like they withheld anything that could have convicted.

Had the prosecutors tried the minimalist approach she suggests, there would have been howls from the race posse that they were throwing the case.

The FL Persecutors office and trial attorney's provided more reasonable doubt for GZ than the defense team ever could.

Interesting read, i do not completely disagree with the analysis. My views formed before reading this is:

1. The prosecutor was foolish to enter Zimmerman’s statements into evidence. As the article said, they needed to cross-examine him. Not on trivial inconsistent statements, but rather they needed to cross-examine him on the key issues of self defense.

2. I did not watch the non-cursive reader testify, but one has to wonder about it. For one, I do not think it is that big a deal that she is not good in cursive. I think with texting, e-mail, etc, we may see cursive on the decline as more and more people mainly use printing via key boards. The problem with her as a witness is it was already known that she would lie under oath and yet the prosecution some how did not know or let her say CAC on the stand. I am not sure what the state thought they got from her, but it could not have been worth CAC.

Still the bottom line is when you don’t have a case, whoever you call with information about the case will hurt you.

After to talking to some people who think Zimmerman should have been found guilty, a couple of things have become clear to me.

These people think Zimmerman was hunting Martin (some think with his gun drawn) AFTER he was "TOLD" not to. They have no clue that Zimmerman was attacked WHILE HEADING BACK TO HIS TRUCK after the dispatcher suggested that "...he didn't need to do that" (follow Martin). They think Martin was defending himself against Zimmerman's confrontation, and that it wasn't until Martin got the upper hand that Zimmerman shot him. This is actually what they think happened. That is what needs to be addressed by MOM when making his rounds. That Zimmerman was heading back to his vehicle when he was confronted and attacked by Martin.

What they refuse to grasp is that Zimmerman was telling the truth.
