Day 15 (Week #3) Zimmerman Trial – Witness Discussion Thread
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | June 28, 2013 | Sundance

Posted on 06/28/2013 5:14:39 AM PDT by 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)

I am having surgery Monday so will be out of the loop for a few days. Will get on FR when the fog has cleared.

The state has a weekend to look at their case and weep.

“This gal just exceeded her boundaries by mentioning he was already seeing a psych. Opened a whole new can of worms.”

Yep.

“So the MMA that GZ was doing was really aerobics”

In his opening statement, West pointed out that his instructor said GZ was “soft, not athletic.”

Hope the defense brings that up again...or perhaps they will put the instructor on the witness stand eventually. I would think so since the prosecution is always emphasizing this “MMA” crap.

Hope your surgery goes well and hope to see you back here soon.

And the state will no doubt be working furiously to drum up some desperation move over the weekend (think October surprise). They are even catching flack from some leftie media commentators at this point. Something I thought I would never see in this case.

WFTV keeps saying all the witnesses are proving GZ’s injuries are not life threatening and so do not justify deadly force.

So, Z was supposed to lie there and think about whether his injuries were life threatening while Saint Trayvon was on top of him, and every time he punched him, he was supposed to add that punch to the total, until the sum total of his injuries became life threatening?

Cut me a friggin' break.

“Bernie’s last question to this witness was a low blow indicating that Bernie knows that he is in deep trouble. Frustration and desperation has set in and he gets a weekend to mull it over.”

I feel like I’m watching actor Dabney Coleman and his role in
“Nine to Five” when the girls destroyed him...lol.

It’s been a long time since I saw it, but if I remember, he was a bumbling idiot (their controlling boss), and they made a fool out of him.

It is the OJ trial in reverse. OJ got off. Blacks were happy and whites did not riot. In this trial, GZ must be found guilty or blacks will riot. Blacks will, also, riot if he is found innocent.

Hang in there, Bernie. Don’t give up. We want more. We have waited so long and knew you had nothing and you are truly not disappointing us. We are looking to more of your nothing next week.

Ohh btw — isn’t the prosecution supposed to put on its case first??? Where is it???

There are laws that prohibit the use of medical records that are not relevant to the issue at hand. Since this is a public case the Judge has an obligation not to allow in any portion of the medical record which is not directly relevant to the prosecution's case.

The prosecution is simply not prepared and they have not done the due diligence necessary to designate the portions of the record they want admitted prior to the cut off of discovery.

I can't decide if the prosecution is deliberately blowing this case or if they are incompetent beyond belief.

I wonder how the MSM would respond if he’s convicted and the celebration riots are much larger than the LA Rodney King riots were.

Get well soon!

I’m going to miss it, too. I only have a doctor’s appointment, and I hope I DON’T need surgery. It sucks getting old.

I'm thinking it's a combination of both. They are dreadfully incompetent...because they have no case to work with, yet they chose to prosecute ANYWAY. At this point all they can do is blow the case and make it appear like incompetence.

They don’t care either way. More news, overtime, and excitement for them!

Most MMA matches that i’ve witnessed windup with a winner and a loser.
Both maybe well trained well but one will lose. I know a few guys that workout but never compete. I have serious doubts as to Zman actual participating in MMA.

From the article: “Zimmerman's attorneys say it's important because it shows a “potential bias” by Trayvon’s parents, who are expected to testify at Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial.”

If so, why are they permitted in the courtroom and not Mr.Zimmerman's parents?

I thought GZ’s parents were barred from the courtroom because they may testify.
