[Conscience of a Conservative]

Robert Zimmerman was also not there, and his statement was merely a repetition of what his son told him. As a judge, he would know that this is hearsay, which is inadmissible precisely because it is inherently unreliable. If there are questions about the reliability of Trayvon's girlfriend's story, those questions can be resolved by cross-examining Trayvon's girlfriend. If there are questions about the reliability of Robert Zimmerman's statement, those cannot be resolved by cross-examining Robert Zimmerman, because all Robert Zimmerman knows is what George Zimmerman told him.

“. . .those cannot be resolved by cross-examining Robert Zimmerman, because all Robert Zimmerman knows is what George Zimmerman told him. “

How about this:

“those cannot be resolved by cross-examining the thug’s girlfriend, because all the girlfriend knows is what the thug told her.”

She was not there. She was on the phone, supposedly.

Back at ya.
