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.

If defense does a stark and thorough enough job of debunking it, it will go far in quelling some of the rabidity driving the calls for riots and murders of random whites upon acquittal.

I think they know they have a weak to zero case so what I believe they are doing is trying to reduce the impact of the defense witnesses by calling them as prosecution witnesses....kind of a 3 card monte play: “this is not what you think you’re hearing, they are prosecution witnesses and they bolster our case.

What truly galls me is this case is brought as a second degree...IMO, if they cannot prove that, he should be acquitted, no reduction to some kind of manslaughter or such just to appear non racist.

Iching, sorry about last nights thread pull; I was reading what you posted and was very interested in it. It’s disappointing that some here attack those that post things without looking at what it is or concern. It’s no wonder that posters at FR are at a fraction of where it used to be.

Somewhat hostile here at times and yet, it’s a fantastic site. I wish people would chill out.

Probably not exactly, he tried to (somewhat successfully) derail the careers of some of them over the Sherman Ware case in 2010, when he rallied the community against SPD officers and higher-ups on behalf of a homeless black man that had been badly beaten outside a Sanford bar by the son of an SPD supervisor, who was never arrested nor charged. Cruel irony, eh. Video of the beating is on YouTube. Zimmerman is NOT who the media has portrayed him to be. That’s why you never learned of the Sherman Ware case.

I do sense that the karma will come all the way back around and Z will be freed. This sham trial is blowing up in the rabid racists’ faces.

After seeing the re-enactment by Zimmerman, I have no doubt Zimmerman got jumped.

Dee Dee's...creepy-ass cracker...remark set the tone for that event. And her statements that it was just a fight blew me away.

IIRC, Tray had been to the apartment where he was staying many times. I'm inclined to think he knew who Zimmerman was and that's why he wasn't afraid to approach him. In fact, wouldn't be surprised if Tray was the impetus for one of Zimmerman's earlier calls to the "hot line".

That already backfired on them, it has been shown by Precious’ turn on the stand that it was Trayvon who racially profiled Zimmerman, not the other way around as the bogus charging affidavit claims.

Never happen. Martin could rise from the grave and declare that he deserved what he got and the same ones would still call for riots. This [racial discord] is their bread and butter and over the years they have made a good living from it. As a sidebar, self professed preachers such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharption who profain the Holy name of God on a weekly basis need to spend a lot of time in cold storage. When they get to where they are going to spend eternity, they can use the cold.

Thanks for the daily threads.

I'll be tied up much of the day and unable to post witness testimony summaries, so if someone else could, please.

I think the persecution is still hoping to draw a race card because that is all they have.

They already played that card but it was trumped by the Creep Ass Cracker card.

I was referring to the jury which depends on what the makeup of the pool is. I’ve been on jury duty where the defense lawyer looked over the pool and decided to plead. LOL. The jury GZ drew should be very favorable to him. Just the luck of the draw.

let them be the savages they want to be
let them burn down businesses homes
let them loot the village-

white people stay in your home with your guns and let them run amuck.

MAYBE this will finally get people to wake up

either Martin’s mom gave him up or she lost custody when Martin was a baby.

She is not the steller mother she is trying to portray

Always appropriate on any court-related thread!

Just for fun I’m reposting some tweets from the first day of trial from a lawyer who’s been following this case pretty closely. These have also been appropriate every day since:

#Zimmerman Trial: Rumored: State to charge all of its own witnesses with second degree murder

#Zimmerman Trial: Rumored: West to do rest of cross while breathing helium, to “lift State’s spirits”

#Zimmerman Trial: Rumored: Court clerk tearfully admits accidentally switching witness lists

#Zimmerman Trial: Rumored: Sheriffs collect belts, shoelaces from prosecution team

#Zimmerman Trial: State wondering if they should be dialing 911 or non-emergency number to deal with witness

Note in that picture that the ME has the tattoos on the wrong arm. Tattoos are on the left arm from the pictures of him.
