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 understood a pretrial agreement that its either guilty of 2nd degree murder or nothing”
I hope that’s accurate. I’m not trying to post bogus info. I think I got my info from the NY Times, pretrial story.
My memory wasn’t good enough to remember if this issue had already been covered before the trial started, by the attorneys.
...and the Jeb that just won’t go away.
It is wrong to criticize him for trying to let the truth come out in this trial, as we’ve seen continually during the prosecution.
If we listen carefully to John it appears that this beatdown lasted a lot longer than 40 seconds. He hears the “tussle” and steps outside and sees the beatdown already in progress and watches for 8 seconds as Martin rains down blows MMA style.
He then comes inside and goes upstairs and calls 911 as he looks out the bathroom window and hears the gunshot.
That means the beatdown lasted a long time — perhaps as long as 2 minutes. That is devastating to the state’s narrative because there was no time for Zimmerman to follow or chase Martin. Right after the NEN call the beatdown started.
Right now the state is trying to figure out how to impeach its own timeline.
Which leads one to the conclusion that if this presentation of prosecution "evidence" continues in the same vein, without one shred of evidence that GZ could be suspected of being the aggressor, a Directed Verdict should be entered after the prosecution rests.
That would be in the real world...
Nobody on that jury is expecting Zimmerman to be an MMA fighter. Who cares what some professional could do in a fight after being knocked to the ground and having someone on top beating them.
We’re talking about a regular man who is at most 5’8” and at the time looked no more than 150 pounds.
The fact Z was yelling for someone to come help him shows he wasn’t intent on killing Martin. If this Good person would have came out with a bat and smacked Martin off of Z, Martin would have a sore head but still be alive. We can do the “what ifs” all day. Nobody came to help Z and he felt as though Martin was not just going to hurt him with his blows but possible see his gun and use it against him.
“Told my daughter if GZ is acquitted, some white people are going to die for it.”
I think this is likely to happen, especially in cities where all witnesses are likely to be be black. I would just say be careful where you are and be prepared.
given the rate of NE snowbirds and Hatian 'earthquake refugees' still flowing into the state, Florida will soon be bright red
then there's the nursing home vote
the larger cities are all operating on the Detroit model
.
There was a time I would have agreed with you, but like someone said upthread (can’t remember who nor could find it), I think and feel completely differently now about blacks. I think that for the hoards of TM’s (and others who are, outwardly at least, less “thuggish”), there are a few WWs or Thomas Sowells.
That’s probably it...Martin was beating away the rain drops to keep Z’s head dry....
Perfect. We should email this to the prosecution. They could use it!
>> They should at least be contacted by law officials.....????
Yeah, if “I’m gonna kill me a generic white person” isn’t “making terroristic threats”, then the term has no meaning.
If the prosecutor believed the story of This witness’ testimony, then he would be ethically forced to request that the charges be dismissed. If he believed this witness was not going to tell the truth, he could be charged with suborning perjury for calling him to the stand. You can’t call a witness to the stand knowing they are going to tell a lie. Neither can you bring charges and prosecute a case which you honestly believe the defendant is not guilty of.
Either baldy was surprised by this testimony today, or he is another Nifong. I think both. This witness established that George Zimmerman was being visciously attacked when the shot was fired.
Regardless of any other circumstance this proves beyond any doubt that Zimmerman is not guilty.
The phone time line, including 911 calls must stay constant
These people have never been in a Street Brawl. Put them down and pound them.
What is a directed verdict?
I had almost forgotten Porky Bush ... Tokyo Rove's favorite candidate in 2016
.
>> Now it looks like Tennessee.
If I may, let me put in a shameless plug for my home state — Texas.
There’s ALWAYS room for a self-reliant conservative here!
(And unlike TN, we only have ONE lousy RINO senator! The other one rocks!)
I give that advice to all who will listen!
I believe that it is linked to the inborn fear of fire by all living things.
+++++++++++++
But just remember if you were to do it in my neighborhood you might
soon hear a lot of gunfire. :^)
Such an incompetent judge. . .even for a kangaroo court.
“Sounds like they’re laying the foundation for the riots if and when George is either acquitted or not guilty.”
All those in the media are salivating because it will keep them busy reporting and following him every minute of the day to reveal his new address and whereabouts.
And Obummer supporters? See below...
They should be arrested right now...check out these death threats...
