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.

Defense made a point by demonstrating how easy it was to see the gun because GZ had a short jacket.

It’s possible Martin saw it.

It is 50 minutes after sunset, raining - by at least some accounts pretty hard - they are now away from the streetlights, and Zimmerman's gun is covered by his shirt and/ or jacket.

Not likely.

Well, without directly answering the question, what if I were married, but simply very outspoken in my point of view, and accustomed to stormy weather? :-P

Tray thought he could get away with killing GZ?? In his I hate whitey world, he would have been a hero. And after all, he was the President's son.

This trial is sooooooo wrong.

Nope, just the opposit. MOM showed how difficult it would be to see it. Did you not see the coat GZ was wearing?

There are a lot of people that don’t believe GZ didn’t know the street name because it was only three streets.

I don’t know all of the names of the streets in my subdivision so it is possible. Of course, I don’t head up a neighborhood watch but I still think it is possible.

Oh and by saying Martin’s mom..I also mean the Prosecution, too.

If she heard Get off, get off...then she heard the shot....

That's why she tried to call back...and text back...

And then went into "hiding". She knew too much.

Several people have posited that Diamond Eugene was egging him on...I think they may be right.

So St Skittles went gangsta to find the “homo”

“For me, you LOSE the right to self defense if you are the aggressor UNLESS and UNTIL you gain it back by...1234...and those things are outlined after the word “UNLESS””

Let us hope the jury is not filled with people incapable of reading a few sentences with comprehension.

“The justification described in the preceding sections of this chapter is not available to a person who...Initially provokes the use of force against himself or herself, unless...Such force is so great that the person reasonably believes that he or she is in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm”

The justification described earlier is available, even to someone who starts an assault, if the responding person bumps the intensity of the fight up to deadly or great bodily harm levels. In essence, the person who overreacts and bumps things up to the level of death has ceased to be involved in a simple assault, and initiated attempted murder.

The software doesn’t allow me to draw a picture for you with a crayon. This is the best I can do.

I am pretty sure you are wrong. I can’t say 100% because I like to leave room for error...

Now I have to find it before I go to bed because it is going to bug me.

You claim O’Mara should not ask any more questions. Let’s wait to see who is right

I don't claim anything. If I were GZ' s attorney, I would end my cross right where he left off, with that great big YES answer.

He may have more questions, but he's already established that the lead investigator believed everything he said.

You're such a legal expert, tell everyone what questions you would ask? Just give me the next follow up question. What would YOU ask?

YOU LOSE IT UNLESS

UNLESS

UNLESS

You can meet a BURDEN

Zimmerman lost it UNLESS he meets a BURDEN.

It is a derogatory word for White people.

It's not a very effective one.

okay..now i can go to bed.

I was right

http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1306/28/cnr.12.html

“O’MARA: OK. Any movement up of the jacket, even that small movement that he did by leaning over exposed the gun, right? “

Rummy...It's not a matter of questioning....he's going to clarify for the jury the techniques of interrogation...He did it today...with the cop "falsely" telling GZ that there was a video of the confrontation and GZ saying "Thank God".

In fact, I would say the first words we hear from O'Mara on Monday are "Thank God"!!

Oops, I mean GZ MIGHT have lost his right..not that he did..since I don’t know if he was the aggressor.

Given that the Skittles were on the doorstep

Has that been placed into evidence yet ?

Very dark and his flashlight is dead....And he has to move his arms up. And TM is concentrated on GZ’s face...

“he’s going to clarify for the jury the techniques of interrogation..”

that is rehabilitation in the way that I use the word because if he does NOT do it...jury may come to a different conclusion about that interrogation tape.

He is not going to rest tomorrow morning with no questions.
