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)

That monk has a ‘Cabbage Patch’ head o.O
I thought there were grass stains on the knees of Treyvons jeans. This picture doesn’t show that Treyvon was actually sitting on Zimmerman...which would also verify that fact that John Good did not even see ZImmerman until he yelled for help. In my opinion, it looks like one person to Good until he heard a cry for Help from the person he said he saw after hearing a cry for help.
And though he heard the guy on the bottom crying out for help he can’t be 100% sure because he didn’t see his mouth.
It is almost like the state is trying to create "reasonable doubt" about GZ's self-defense claim. The only problem is that GZ doesn't have to prove self-defense - the state must DISPROVE self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt, and then must PROVE all of the elements of Murder 2 beyond a reasonable doubt.
If this thread wasn’t so important (and already very long), I would put in a Tech Ping.. you need to get rid of Norton >.< (Norton was great when Peter Norton still owned and ran it.. went off a cliff after that :/ ) ...
Back to regular scheduled info thread now ;)
“Is a finding of manslaughter even an option?”
I read, and this may not be accurate, that either side may ask the judge to consider lesser charges if they want. The judge may not do so.
If the trial continues this badly for the state, I imagine the state will ask for the option of manslaughter. The Defense would, of course, fight that.
Time will tell I guess.
Only for this witness. If you're on the phone with Trayvon and can't see his mouth moving your testimony is acceptable.

When I hear TV talking heads sputter how the trial is going swimmingly against Z, I laugh, and wonder, what the heck trial they are watching? I believe the MSM is trying to prep the low-information voters out there that Z will be found guilty, and if by any obscure chance he is not, then mayhem must ensue.
And I would imagine this judge would allow that.
Frankly, and it might seem a stretch, I think this goes all the way to the White House.
Great threads, people. I'm mostly lurking, but the play-by-play and the interjection of wise opinions is helping me to understand the entire situation as well as the legal process.
If the trial was about finding the truth and fairness, the judge would have instructed the jury to disregard and ordered stricken from the record of the witness thatadmittedunder oath she wrote the letter and then said she can’t read cursive writing.She obvisouly perhured herself numerous times, but none as blantent as that. the judge would also advise the State to investigte her for perjury. But since this is a kangeroo court, none of this will happen.
My brother just sent an email to me and said John Good just blew the state out of the water.
Especially if you fall into a vat of chocolate.
the MSM would LOVE a riot. Their ratings have been low lately.
interesting how much hatred and vitriol there is in that community.
Of course, the blog comments will all be filled with comments from white liberal women will proudly post how they understand these misunderstood victimized individuals.
Yeah, I understand completely (I never was for ground game myself...).. but it definately was not a crucifix..Zimm still had use of his arms... but you are correct; this needs to be explained for those who have NO idea what MMA and the MMA terms are.
I understood a pretrial agreement that its either guilty of 2nd degree murder or nothing
