I'd rather know someone who wanted to be a fireman, cop, or paramedic than someone who wanted to be a gang-banger criminal.

All Zimmerman had to do was wait for the cops.

He was walking back to his van to wait for the cops when Trayvon came out of the bushes and confronted him. Trayvon had left the safety of his 'own' back yard and snuck back up on Zimmerman as he was returning to his vehicle.

I guess you haven't been following the trial closely ?

I hope MOM goes into reasonable doubt.

The classic is to remind jurors of their oaths.

Trial is UNFAIR to the prosecution by design.

If 100 doubts and just ONE doubt remains then the state as failed. The burden is on the state for ALL or nothing as to doubt. There is no compromise.

“But . . . there was no violence until Zimmerman pursued and killed the kid . . . self defence or not”

Except that is not fact.

“Thankfully, the family I surprised didn’t want to kill me.”

Matter of opinion.

The state is showing photos of the scene and questioning #Zimmermanon9 ‘s claim to be looking for an address but no proof of following.

If Z is acquitted, I would bet that Holder will go after him on a federal civil rights charge.

Juror B 29 is avoiding eye contact with the prosecutor. She’s in the front row. #Zimmermanon9


When I was on jury duty, during the closing arguments of the attorney I already decided I would rule against, I had to FORCE myself to keep eye contact with him to give him the opinion I was on his side.

i.e. avoiding eye contact is a real bad sign for whoever the juror is avoiding eye contact with.

IMO

When you are forced to sit somewhere and listen to someone drone on and on, and you have a pen and paper, what do you do

I went to college, then university for years, and I doodled on my note pages all the time (did it in high school, too). If I wasn't taking a note, I was doodling. It helped me concentrate on what was being said - it went in my brain better if I was writing or doodling. Mostly I drew boxes or flowers. Don't discount someone doodling as not paying attention.

>> if the jury is hung, instead of convicting, that’s better than nothing.

Hung jury is MUCH better than nothing. As someone on the thread pointed out earlier, one minute after the judge declares mistrial from hung jury, West and O’Mara are down at the courthouse filing to have the Verdict of Acquittal that Nelson denied upheld by an appeals court. If they’re successful — and I think they very well might be — Zimmerman is acquitted. No new trial, no nuthin’ else.

Keep in mind that in some ways the VOA is *easier* to argue, because the JUDGE can’t claim she didn’t ALSO know about the text messages, drugs, football physique, and all that other stuff she wouldn’t let ‘em show the jury. I think once quality judge(s) look at all the data she had, they’ll reverse her denial of the VOA.

There is precedent for an appeals court reversing a denied VOA, too — ‘cause O’Mara PRESENTED CASES to Nelson when he argued for Z’s VOA.

Meanwhile, through the process, Z is still out of jail.
