Today, July 11th, is DAY #23 (of 5th week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.
Yesterday the defense rested its case. A legal analysis via Professor Jacobson HERE.
From my perspective the entire case ended, as expected, early in the day yesterday when Judge Nelson gave George Zimmerman his personal Platinum Express DCA Acquittal Card. The ruling, and more importantly the legal determination she used on the ruling, regarding the Trayvon Martin phone evidence was an immediate Nuclear DCA option. Nelson essentially ruled against admissibility based on ”authentication”. She could have kept it out under other legal reasoning, but no, she chose the one without the slightest chance of being upheld by a District Court of Appeals. IMHO this was intentional and aligns itself with the way she has ruled during the pre-trial discovery phase, and during the case itself. She’s a rigid ideologue, but she’s not stupid – this was intentional.
By ruling the phone records (texts and pics from Trayvon) cannot be “authenticated” to have originated by the specific personage of Trayvon Martin just gave the dismissal of the case to George Zimmerman with a bow on it.
As it was carefully explained to me, the phone is like a bucket. The data inside the phone is like marbles in a bucket. Some marbles from calls, others from pictures, others from texts, etc. The State brought the bucket into court – and validated the bucket contents with their own witness from the phone company – Both the State and the defense then began arguing their case around the phone call marbles in the bucket – Primarily with Rachel Jeantel. But no-one challenged the bucket itself. The State authenticated the bucket and the content of the bucket during the introduction.
The defense picks up the same bucket the state hands them, and now begins to use the contents – texts and pictures – and then Nelson rules the bucket itself cannot be authenticated. It doesn’t work that way.
If the state authenticates evidence, it cannot be divided and only authentic when the state holds it, but not the defense. Flawed logic – ABSOLUTELY positioned to give such a prejudicial outcome, the appeal would result in dismissal, not retrial. Nelson gave the case away to George Zimmerman.
She could have ruled on relevance, admissibility, or other factors – but she chose the one destined to fail, “authentication”. She gave it away.
In other news, people are catching on to the Eric Holder, Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Community Relations Service – being the actual puppeteers behind the entire construct of the false case. To them we say “welcome to the party pal“.

I think we’re recessed for 30 minutes while they finalize the jury instructions.
Agree - also can't imagine how his family feels watching this! Just think of his honorable uncle who has supported and believed in our system all of his life - and the friend who is a Vietnam Vet who fought for our system - now watching it crumble :(
Thanks sheik. You have been consistently clear. Efforts appreciated.
And frequent f bombs
Sidebar: I’m reading as fast as I can while at work, which is crazy today (Murphy’s Law). So, responding to all those I couldn’t respond to...
Thank you for your response!

You are welcome!
I made a decision that I will not watch the states closing argument. It would be quite unhealthy for me to subject myself to the lies and filth. I will read about it here later.
“I think she is part of the team. I think they work for her.”
So she was merely spectating until time for the final nail in Z’s coffin then. Who doubts for a minute that she has been texting and emailing Judge Nelson throughout this entire fiasco.
does anyone how how many cases Corey goes to and sits behind the table????
That's all out there. Perhaps folks will divert from the Live Thread and post you links. Bless you for engaging with the ignorant - it's a work of mercy.
The dispatcher made it very clear that he did not tell him NOT TO FOLLOW him...and the dispatcher asked him twice to give an address and that meant George had to move around to find a sign and a number.
Are the race hatred black panther bloodlusters out int he streets to try and intimidate the jury yet?
question .....when the State starts their presentation to the jury and says something false as fact , can Mom object ?
For sure, couldn’t close without that! Lol
“I know. I can’t imagine his fear. It just breaks my heart.”
Ditto.
“presented bogus nonsense “
” bogus nonsense?”
Leave me outa this!
Bogie
“WFTV said assault is a threat. Battery is when the weapon is used. So they cannot use assault.”
As I thought. I believe there are only two charges, murder 2 and manslaughter, the third option being acquittal.
