Today can only be characterized as an utter debacle for the prosecution in Florida v. Zimmerman. Besides the testimony of a couple of highly professional law enforcement witnesses, the testimony of the the other State witnesses ranged from signing George Zimmerman’s praises, to acknowledging the utility of following a suspicious person from a distance, to being utterly discredited by razor sharp cross-examination of the defense.

...it hardly seems that a half-dozen recordings of Zimmerman calmly phoning the police precisely as he had been instructed by them can much advance their charges of second degree murder.

The next, shall we say, interesting witness called by the State, and the last witness of the day, was Selene Bahadoor. She was one of the residents of Twin Lakes whose townhouse bordered on the scene of the altercation between Zimmerman and Martin, and who took note of the event as it happened. As such, she was really the first substantive witness to date who would, purportedly, be able to share some direct knowledge of the events as they unfolded.
O’Mara handled the cross-examination of Bahadoor, and it was very quickly apparent that this person who had promised to be the State’s star witness of the day–and perhaps of the entire trial–was about to be have her testimony and credibility utterly, indeed humiliatingly, crushed before the jury.
O’Mara then asked if it would be fair to say that Bahadoor had sympathy for the Martin family. “I have sympathy for both families,” she answered, somewhat aloof.
“But,” noted O’Mara, “you “liked” the Facebook page for the Martin family, but not the Facebook page for the Zimmerman family.”

Have you seen other trials where Mrs. Smith has testified?
Do you think the Prosecutor might have asked that she wear her work uniform to establish 'visible credibility' ?
The police officers wore their 'work uniforms', did they not ?

Just a reminder that this trial is not about justice but politics. And in politics, the truth doesn’t matter.
The race-baiters and hustlers are “all-in” on the outcome of this show trial. Expect violence-inciting rhetoric from these people if they don’t get a conviction.
Not. Descriptions of “retard” and “moron” were not worthy of acknowledgement.
Could you add me to your list here.
I’d like to follow this corrupt government prosecutions attempt to ruin an innocent persons life.
Then I apologize for reading things into your words that weren’t there.
They really should start planning for the riots. I think QuickCrete dries in like 12 hours, so they can pretty much wall off the city before the jury get the case? /s
I think this is the first thread I’ve posted on this case. I don’t know if I’ll be posting any more, just because I don’t know if I’ll be posting on any given day.
Check my first response for people who might have ping lists, or search for zimmerman as a keyword or in a title and you’ll certainly be in a better position to be informed on an ongoing basis.
At least a day would be better — very hot and humid in FL in July.
I’m still waiting for widespread use of some kind of goo I saw on one of those “tech of the future” shows a little while back. They shoot it at your legs and within a couple of seconds it’s so sticky and gloppy that you can barely walk and you’re starting to stick to the ground. Probably a lot of potential problems are keeping it off the market for now — falling over and drowning in it comes to mind immediately.
