Shnitt just said the words the defense should use. “If his head is split, you must acquit.” !!!

What is really awful is that he keeps arguing that Trayvon was an innocent angel, but he withheld the evidence that he was a gang banger wannabe and then got the judge to preclude any of that evidence from coming in

However Tracy Martin did say the first call he made was to juvie...

You lost the argument on facts.

Ignoring the fact that he was not told not to follow and you now are ignoring the dispatcher has no authoroity to tell someone to stop or issue dirrectives.

You lost.

Reply if you wish as your embarrassment apparently knows no bounds.

So, here is how it stands, either:
a) You reply thereby compounding your embarrassment and demonstrating to all your juvenile need to get the last word
b) You let it go, be an adult, grow up and educate yourself and become factually informed.

I’m betting you opt for ‘a’. . .I have a six-pack of an adult beverage riding on your next step.

It’s called arguing facts not in evidence, and it’s a slam dunk on appeal. See http://williampfeifer.com/2012/05/01/11/48/51/appeals/improper-closing-arguments-part-1-facts-not-in-evidence/1182

>> Wrong or not . . . the kid he killed would still be alive.

Yeah, then St. Trayvon could still fight and steal and smoke dope and buy guns and maybe the next time he run inta a cracka de cracka be dead. Or maybe it be an innocent cracka’s ten month old baby in a burglary dead.

All Zimmerman’s fault.

One lesson we should all learn from Zimmerman’s experience. Never, ever talk to the police without a competent lawyer standing next to you. If I’m ever stopped or detained by the police I won’t say a thing without a lawyer at my side.

...if Zimmerman had waited for the cops, outcome might have been quite different.

If you hadn't worn a short skirt, you wouldn't have been raped.

If you hadn't gone out late at night, you wouldn't have been mugged.

If you hadn't made lots of money and bought nice things, you wouldn't have been a tempting target for burglars.

If you hadn't contributed to the TEA Party, you wouldn't have gotten an IRS audit.

I guess it's always the victim's fault, eh?

17 yr old “boys” are the ones who worry me...thot it was racist to refer to blacks as “boy?” Did they change it back? I must be behind the times...still PO’d about “reparations” proves it.

Racehorse, you remind me of the posters here on FR in the days after the original shooting who were hoodwinked by the MSM and were calling for GZ’s head.

Nearly every one of those posters has since shaken off the MSM spell and they now realize what’s really going on here.

You must have gotten lost along the way somehow.

“That’s why West does what he does. He’s the “Go ahead judge...beat me up”.”

Interesting. And MOM stays charming and soft spoken.

Give racehorse some credit. I wouldn’t call him an idiot, though some of the things he has said here show gross ignorance on this case.

I see it as “arrogant ignorance”, however, and Racehorse’s reputation would be best served by dropping out of this thread. Extra credit would be given for an apology as well.

I was under the impression that if the persecution argued good character on the part of the dead thug punk, the defense could present evidence to impeach that.

The judge prohibited the defense from bringing in that evidence. Hence the defense can't use it in closing arguments. So BDLR can go on and on on what a sweet innocent little boy Martin was and if MOM says anything to refute that in his closing arguments he could be sanctioned or the judge could declare a mis-trial.

BDLR is just baiting the defense in hopes they make a big mistake tomorrow.

BDLR would like nothing more than having the judge declare a mistrial based on misconduct by the defense.
