On a good day....

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“.
Riots
I think that's the whole reason this trial has been rushed: To coincide with the NAALCP convention. This is engineered for maximum destruction.
The lying is so pervasive from the ‘prosecution’ that one can only conclude the lie regime is behind the entire kangaroo court. Floriduh is the most screwy state East of the Mississippi.
I’m with the rest of you..gonna have to mute him and follow along here.
Prosecution misstating the evidence is something that should offend the jury. Also it’s objectionable.
Trapped him.......not in evidence
Not a fan of skittles, here. I think I would call for long confinement at hard labor for skittles. I probably would not shoot someone JUST for eating skittles.
And Z decided M was up to no good....
Too bad the jury isn't allowed to know the truth about what kind of a "kid" TM really was (stolen jewelry from a burglary at a house near his school...which would explain the truancy, texts about fighting, drugs, getting a gun, etc.).
Too bad the jury isn't allowed to know that GZ was spot-on with his "assumptions" about TM.
So much for "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth", eh?
WHy did Bernie say WATERMELON?? Is he a racist?
***********************************************************
He said the W word? What was the context?
Why is he screaming?
Z was in a SUV !!!!
Guilty!!
if Martin was so scared and that he was a pervert..he would have stayed in his house
Thank you. I think the problem with delay is actually on my end. I tuned in on both the pc and the ipad, but they don’t play at the same time.
"So that night he decided he was going to be what he wanted to be, a police officer"
"He automatically assumed Trayvon was a criminal"
"when you honestly think about it, who was more scared?"
"being followed by [a cracker]..?"

The state says #Zimmermanon9 trapped Martin, even though he said Martin approached his car and Zimmerman never stopped him from running.
They need training. They have not had CPR training in over 3 years then, as this new method has been taught for longer than that. Our local village cops all have first responder training and know better. I even know one EMT who has a save in a Walmart without giving mouth to mouth.
Why is he screaming?
He is winding up for the inevitable f’in punks
