I think she looks more like Chris Farley.

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“.
Face of Evil.
Good work on pic. As usual.
I wish someone would give him a message that when he’s acquitted, he can move to Texas. I’m sure he would be welcomed in Joe Horn’s neighborhood... and he certainly would in mine.
He’d probably get a welcoming parade AND it would just be another chance for Texas to give Obama and Co. the middle finger.
I believe he did it in the side bar just before JudgeWhiteCrazyAssCracker announced the schedule of closing arguments.
none yet...but I hope he sues
right now he has to get through this nightmare
IMO this is prejudicial and should NOT be allowed!! Why put that picture in their minds BEFORE they issue a verdict? Only one reason I can think of..... to instill fear! They could ask them (even verbally) AFTER the verdict.
I will repeat a request I saw yesterday....
PLEASE, copy and paste some of what you are commenting on, if your comment is a response. Otherwise it makes little or no sense to anyone on the thread, save maybe two people.
Yes. You can't have sex with an animation.
Gotta get the dummy bell fixed.
I think she looks more like Chris Farley.
Zimmerman "caused" it by interrupting Trayvon as he was casing apartments, looking for good burglary targets. You're not supposed to interfere with Holder's People.
Nuances can have affect.....the state is doing all they can, IMO, to influence create nuance and innuendo with this jury.
Any recourse for those poor folks? Will the state go after the Twit who did it?
Perhaps he's working on appealing some of the judge's more outrageous acts, besides working on closing arguments.
“Will the state go after the Twit who did it?”
Spike Lee? Not a chance. He wrote a check ... end of story.
Hold on, let me run this through my F.R. Secret Decoder Ring......
....
..... OK. uh, yeah.
Would it then be okay for the judge to ask him at the end of every court day, starting from the beginning, whether he had decided? Clearly not, as this would be applying undue pressure on the defendant. Any question on that subject is supposed to wait until the defense rests. This judge is overly concerned about her timetable and the convenience of the jurors, rather tha judicial protocols and the rights of the defendant.
An attorney told me the state is liable for problems arising from the egregious action.
Probably shape shifters. <8^]
haha! Bill S just called the foam dummy a “blow up doll”!
