I agree, the judge does ask the defendant if he has been informed of his right to testify or not and that it was his choice......she does NOT have that right before all the other witnesses have been called and the trial is still ongoing. She badgered him as well, not just ask at the appropriate time. JudgeCrazy showed her insanity.

Mark O’Mara is not in court ..

he probably knows already that the judge is going to include any or all charges she can.

innocent African American 12 year-old was gunned down by a white racist.

I think it was actually a 6 year old, and the perp was actually GEORGE Bush (not George Zimmerman) in KKK garb.

I can tell you this, most reasonable people on a jury, if after a conviction found out the hidden evidence of TM prior acts, (especially the jewelry he claimed he was holding for a friend) would feel blindsided and lied to.

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.

Also - gives her precious prosecutors a heads-up on what to be working on.....whether cross examination of GZ or their rebuttal witnesses & closing....

I believe all jurors have made up their minds at this point

He needs an acquittal not a hung jury.

I don’t think they will deliberate long. Could have verdict Friday depending on when they get it.

Hey, I’m doing good just to not make typos or misspell anything here ....still working on 1st cup of java. But I’ll try to do better...lol. Ooops. Forgot already.

Post I am responding to:

“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.”

Wow, talk about “caption this, please!”

Exactly! I hadn’t thought of that angle, but it fits right in with her “help the prosecution” mentality throughout this entire trial.

Van Susteren was adamant on this fact and considering she’s from Florida she should know.

Yes I remember earlier it was stated that the firearm would increase the sentence - possibly to 25 years?

Zimmerman knows he would not live ONE year in prison. If he's not completely acquitted, he's dead. Expect defense to fiercely oppose any lesser charges.

"Do you know what is going on this morning? Is court going to be in session before 1pm today? I thought they needed to argue a few things with the judge?"

I think she told jury to be back in at 10:00 today (Thursday).

Yes, they are ironing a few things out this morning.

MOM not in today. <8^{

MOM working today on closing argument due Friday afternoon.

Court back in session. C-ya!

Spike Lee was at fault and he apologized and settled with $ for damages ..but as we know the folks who will raise chaos and havoc are unaware and careless of facts. It just struck me as worrisome if the police are that concerned.

I left the car lights on last night and discovered my error around an hour later. Too late. Gotta get the dummy bell fixed.

My car is Hyundai 2009 and it automagically turns off the lights if I forget to turn them off. That is a good thing. I had to deal with the wrecker guy instead of watching trial but now I'm here. Hope the defense gets their way about charges.
