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 OMara are down at the courthouse filing to have the Verdict of Acquittal that Nelson denied upheld by an appeals court. If theyre 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 cant claim she didnt ALSO know about the text messages, drugs, football physique, and all that other stuff she wouldnt let em show the jury. I think once quality judge(s) look at all the data she had, theyll reverse her denial of the VOA.
There is precedent for an appeals court reversing a denied VOA, too cause OMara PRESENTED CASES to Nelson when he argued for Zs VOA.
Meanwhile, through the process, Z is still out of jail.
Thanks for that additional ray of hope
Actually I read that they can object if the other party is mis-stating the evidence or the law.
There was an article in the WSJ that claimed that reducing the charges in the Zimmerman case was impossible under Florida law.
Why do you keep writing “bad news”?

I don’t know if he can get a verdict of Not Guilty but I have to believe it will be at least a Hung Jury
And will continue to as all this has to be disclosed under stigmatized property rule.
“Its one of the many reasons I say this whole thing is a clash of cultures. Klingons vs human civilization. And to be clear, Im talking about CULTURE, not race.”
BINGO!!! That is it in a nutshell. Right there. Pithy and to the point.
WTF TV said the jurors respond favorably to him. This is from their inside reporter.
He is better looking...than any of the other lawyers there
Wish MoM could toss the dummy on the floor so Guy can go all perv on it again...
Z broke no law and we are a country governed by law, not mob rule or emotion. If TM had not tried to kill Z, he would still be alive.
He will have to do double duty
1. Present evidence
2. Refute the defense
He will be severely tasked.
Because Jar Jar would be much better.
Jurors respond well to Guy.

He was walking back to his car to meet the police.... are you paying attention?
I had to drive to another building at my work campus and heard Bernie doing some of his closing argument on FoxNews on satellite radio. And I then understood what everyone was saying who was listening to him on live streaming. He has one of the most annoying voices I’ve ever heard.
No doubt, I just had to speak up because I find it so very insulting.
Stupid people just really irritate me! lol
Bernie’s voice has changed a bit...seems like maybe he is changing tactics
I was waiting for someone to claim that meant they were ignoring BDLR.
A little secret is that ‘doodling’ occupies the consciousness and allows the subconscious to ‘listen’ with very little prejudice.
You probably know that, is my guess.
