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 don’t think there is a chance the prosecution will be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that GZ had NO reason to be in fear for his life. Just the injuries he sustained should be sufficient. The only other way to defeat the self-defense claim would be to show that he attacked TM first. There is absolutely no physical evidence to suggest that, and no eyewitnesses saw the beginning of the struggle. GZ doesn’t have to prove he didn’t start the fight - the state would have to prove he did. With no wounds on TM other than the gunshot wound and the banged-up knuckles, I don’t see how they prove that.

Good....please tell the jury this too :)

I imagine it’s easy to keep it non-personal when that “any rate” is, like, $500/hour. :-) Wow, not feeling the love right now! ; )

That might have something to do with which of his eyes is dominant. If his right eye is dominant, even though he’s left handed, then he would want to hold the gun in his right hand.

I hate to say it, but maybe a few years in prison might save his life in the long run.....

I’m left handed with a pen but right handed with a handgun but left handed with a rifle. Some of us are strange.

Prosecutor just showed a picture of the cleaned up Zimmerman. Officer said that was accurate, that it was at station in the midnight timeframe.

Prosecutor is clearly trying to minimize the injuries to Zimmerman.

O’Mara, otoh, had officer address dizziness and headache.

Prosecution is accepting these injuries but wants to make light of them.

I think ABC/NBC et al paying for his security the rest of his life would be more just!

>> I work with a hispanic girl who uses both hands for everything (she gets alot done. :)

Mrs. Tick writes right handed (they “changed” her from lefty when she was a tyke) but she can eat with chopsticks, throw, fish, golf, and shoot with EITHER hand.

Heck, she’s a better shot with a handgun at a still target with either hand than I am with my dominant hand!

Why should anyone get involved when a black man is whip’n upo on a “white ass cracker,” who deserved to get the hell beat out of him because he wasn’t black?

“I hate to say it, but maybe a few years in prison might save his life in the long run.....”

Ridiculous. You better think about the gangs that are in Prison. If he doesn’t get protection from the strongest gang there he will be dead.

Just asking. . .but why vote to convict on anything if the bad guy was shot entering the home (assuming he was not invited).

“Has anyone else noticed the fact that GZ appears to be left-handed as he writes at the defense table?”

A few days I read that he writes with his left and uses his right for everything else.

But wait, the Prosecution can still bring forward;

A Mail Carrier to verify where everyone involved actually lived.

A high school principal to verify that TM is TM and that the parents aren’t guilty of false identity.

The coroner to verify that TM is “really and truly dead”.

There is a bunch we don’t know yet, not for sure anyway -—
