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)

Most private lawyers bill by the hour. The prosecutor is a government lawyer who gets paid a salary. The criminal defense lawyers probably got a large fee up front. The rule for criminal defense is to get paid up front. This is because it is hard to collect once the client goes to jail.
PA: nose “likely ... broken”... why does BDLR go there... it seems to run counter to the interests of his case...
BDLR can’t prove there has not been significant physical injury, especially to the head, neck, and back areas, since these can take weeks, months, or years to show up. Ambulance chasers know this... why not BDLR, if the point was to attempt to minimize his injuries? Personal injury lawyers know (I believe) that soft tissue injuries are easy to claim, often subjective, and juries can be conservative when deciding awards due to lack of hard evidence, but broken bone injuries are more along the lines of hard evidence... It is difficult to discern BDLR’s strategy in bringing any of this up at all since MOM is just now using it as yet another excuse to drag sympathetic photos of injured Z to the attention of the jury for eliciting their sympathy and bolstering a case for Z being in fear of his life, thus justifying use of lethal force in self defense...
Hadn’t heard that before. As others stated, in a just world, the jurors would know about little treys purple drink/maryjane mix.
Having been around kids on Adderel, it appears they are more calm which I honestly never understood as it is a stimulant.
I believe it is designed to stimulate a certain portion of the brain.
That for-tv Jodi Arias trial cost we taxpayers of Maricopa County about 2 million bucks (her defense). Good Lord.
Well to my knowledge, the Z’s are by no means rich or well-off. I wonder how they could afford to hire and pay their excellent defense team. Donations? Pro-bono? Does anyone know for sure?
I am surprised, but maybe this is coming, but a guy that had been in a fight with a possible broken nose and he’s not additionally seen by the supervisory Physician?
The town of Sanford fired their Police chief because he wouldn't charge Zimmerman in this case
that would have salvaged Zimmerman's life but Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has political aspirations and she had picked these asshats
the chief looks like a pretty honorable guy from what I've seen here
.
They had a defense fund. A lot of people mortgage something. It is part of the power of the State that it ihas unlimited resources to bleed someone.
Well it’s only bout 95 here and we’re (meaning Sanford also) re bout to get slammed with severe (normal) t’storm..cool it off for 10 mins!
Yep, I know. Btw, did you happen to notice Pam there yesterday, I believed it was her sitting there. Just a damn sin is what this whole thing is.
This has been my take on this since the trial started. The more information they can get out that this was indeed self defense, the less angry people will be.
ahhhh, rain. the water that first comes out of the hose must be 150 at least. i need to stick my thermometer on it.
99 degrees here in Sierra Vista
Work is distracting me from watching intently. Did I hear testimony that Trayvon had his head phones and a picture tucked into the pocket of his hoodie?
If true, that would indicate to me that, contrary to DeeDee’s testimony, Trayvon secured his loose items so he could whoop up on GZ.
O’Mara is masterful with the physician’s assistant. Just got her to say that if the head injuries she saw had been caused by being hit on concrete that could cause serious brain injury.
O’Mara is stealing this witness
prosecutors and the judges who love them are all dispicable
.
O’Mara needs to get her to say that the size of the laceration does not have any bearing on how severe the head injury could be.
