Day 15 (Week #3) Zimmerman Trial – Witness Discussion Thread

The Conservative Treehouse ^ | June 28, 2013 | Sundance

[Uncle Chip]

Today, June 28th, is DAY #15 (of 3rd week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case. [Yesterday] … it was simply not a very good day at all for the prosecution. The primary State witnesses today were Rachel Jeantel, Jenna Lauer, and Selma Mora.

The first had her credibility substantively destroyed, the second was powerfully–almost humiliatingly–co-opted by the defense, and the third provided testimony entirely consistent with the defense’s theory of lawful self-defense. (continue reading)

Nope.

[Elle Bee]

he's going to be hounded by civil cases and perhaps federal civil rights prosecution ... and he will be a marked man by the race hustling tribe and their media ... unable to make a living and his life will fall apart ... it's not pretty

.. but TM's estranged 'parents' have already had the payday of their life from the homeowner's association .... a race hustling attorney will take some of that to haunt him further

Wow. The Pros asked if Martin were MMA trained? Doesn’t that open a door somewhere?

The PA has good features. Why doesn’t she use some makeup? She could be turned from a plain Jane into a pretty woman.

The HOA were cowards for settling.

[machogirl]

ouch!

You know?
We have established that even a street walking HOOKER has the right to say “no” and then the right to file charges of rape against someone.

Just because someone KNOWS how to fight, or TRAINS to fight, does not take away one’s legal right to self defense, and the presumption that his self defense actions will be supported by a JUST Justice system.

[SZonian]

Just think about how much “bleeding will be leading” on your nightly news as a result of their deceit.

All the more reason to be ticked off at local and state governments that refuse to allow citizens to be armed.

[Hulka]

I'm thinking the gentle ladies on the jury might find taking a self-defense sort of class would be something THEY would identify with.

[XenaLee]

Oh I definitely believe that karmic justice will be served some day. And I believe that folks that break this command will pay the price: ‘Thou shalt not bear false witness.’ Falsely accusing, trying and convicting Z in the court of public opinion (which has happened over the past year) by those on the left, resulting in the ruining of Z’s life effectively, is something that these people will pay dearly for.... eventually.

The HOA were cowards for settling.

The whole retreat except for a few outstanding individuals seemed to have been full of cowards.

We have already established by police and neighbors that George was on the bottom of this altercation...so don't see how taking classes in MMA would matter (assuming he actually followed through with the MMA class. For all we know he went 3 times) IMO

Reference news item entitled “13-Year-Old Arrested For Murder Of Missing 5-Year-Old”

http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2013/06/27/13-year-old-arrested-for-murder-of-missing-5-year-old/

It’s fortunate that the 5-year-old was not armed and, using his weapon, had not successfully defended himself against the attack from the 13-year-old. If he had he may well be facing a charge of 2nd degree murder.

[AllAmericanGirl44]

Very interesting. Thanks

[patriotspride]

Are Angela Corey and this judge related?

or is that a guy with a wig on ?

[spacejunkie2001]

Totally agree. I guess the head of the HOA is that O’Brien freak that had to admit that the stucco guys tracked down a teenage black kid that was robbing residents, and also had to admit there’s a rash of crime at RATL. But also said NW is totally unnecessary! Idiot.

[Nervous Tick]

>> Just because someone KNOWS how to fight, or TRAINS to fight, does not take away one’s legal right to self defense

I agree; that’s the better strategy to stay focused on, methinks, instead of delving into their relative fighting skills.

[SE Mom]

AG! Good to see you.

Holy Cow that’s beyond hot.
