Day 16 (Week #4) Zimmerman Trial – Witness Discussion Thread
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | July 1, 2013 | Sundance

Posted on 07/01/2013 5:17:35 AM PDT by Uncle Chip

Today, July 1st, is DAY #16 (of 4th week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.

Last week the prosecution feebly presented the first series of witnesses against George Zimmerman. However, as most observers would note, the witnesses called by the state have so far been more beneficial for the Zimmerman Self-Defense position.

The prosecutions case seems to resemble a game of anemic whack-a-mole. The mole might not be much but the defense is still obliged to whack.

The defense is getting paid a lot of money to fight at every turn and question every prosecution witness.

Exactly. The defense will try to wring every good piece of evidence from every witness the prosecution puts on the stand.

Oh jeez, did YOU listen to ANY of this tape????

Put it ALL together and you can gain the answers you seek.
I suggest you try not relying on others to form YOUR opinion.

Investigative techniques...everyone pay attention...

In this case, with their secondary, “Challenge Interview”
the investigator just said, “I didn’t have much to challenge him with.”

They still don’t...

Some of you refuse to objectively look at this case and pretend there is nothing that the jury could look at to hold him guilty.

THIS TAPE gives them some room.

It’s the best thing that the Prosecutor has had so far.

O’MARA HAS to FIX THIS.

“Should O’Mara sit down because the tape is not an issue instead of trying to rehabilitate the situation.”

Just because he doesn’t “just sit down” DOESN”T mean any real damage was done. Any good lawyer will try and discredit/clarify/spin etc any detail that could potentially aid the opponent no matter how minute it may be. It’s their job.

You’re reading waaaay too much into the fact that he didn’t just sit down and shut up.

BTW FL has some new redaction rules regarding social sec. numbers.

The attorneys are supposed to certify they have complied.

I don’t know if this would apply given today’s situation.

I think you are getting hysterical.

Please, try to be rational.

I suggest you NOT try and read my mind as to what I think or believe. You are making a bit of a fool of yourself being a rapid dog holding on to ONE thought. Let it go.

I have faith in MOM’s skill - as you said the DT has cross examined every witness! These same “people” who think this was damaging also thought Dee Dee or whatever her real name is - was a *star* witness and that she was a plus for the State....

I am astute enough to know that the tape is damaging and that O’Mara can’t just sit down and ignore it.

Sorry, if you can’t figure that out.

O’Mara is doing a good job but it is up to the jury to think about how they feel about the inconsistencies.

If you are SCARED AND IN FEAR YOU DO NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR.

Investigator, “Z could have been considered a victim in this case”.

No kidding!

I want to know why he got out of the car if he was in fear for his life.

Would you???
**************************************************************
What makes you think he was in fear for his life at the time he got out of the car? I think the evidence so far has indicated that “fear for life” entered the picture when he was being beaten and, most importantly, once he felt that the Angelic Trayvon was going for his gun.
