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. Shes a rigid ideologue, but shes 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 doesnt 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.
They are rating it the way that gets them the most viewers in their 'demographic'.
I’ve been telling those I care about that small isolated incidents will be the most probable outcome. Guilty or innocent won’t matter, time of day( or night), location and surroundings are more important to pay attention to for their safety. Of course, most of my circle of friends are heavily armed so that helps.
As Snowden has clearly demonstrated to any who have been paying attention, your name, address, guns (if any), travel/movements, buying behavior, financial history, etc are all known to key surveillance agencies.
It's also known that the DoJ actively organized the initial "protests", and of course will be behind any planned social disruptions aka riots.
Who's to say that O doesn't want a whole bunch more Zimmermans? You can stay locked in your house, but what if the mob is directed to specifically attack **you**? Or, you're traveling someplace, or currently @ work; again, what's to say an attack isn't directed towards you to elicit a defensive response?
Sadly, I agree with you. I feel like Charleston Heston in one of the Ape Movies seeing the Statue of Liberty.
Why do so many things seem so unreal; the things are real, we just haven't seen them up this close yet.
It's an "in your face" tactic. Work people up. Frighten people. We will protect you by banning guns except for people who really need them, like the IRS.
Her skin is too aged to be heavily outlining her entire eye in that manner.
The lipstick color isn’t flattering to her aged face, either.
That lipstick color probably was good on her when she was 15-20 years younger.
She would probably be better off with a light gloss or a natural colored gloss. No eyeliner, just mascara on the lashes.
Angela Corey has a special bullet proof T-shirt for him to wear.
>> And evey time he accuses Z of lying during interview there are words echoing in their ears........I thought he was truthful......STRICKEN
heh... good point.
The ol’ “unrung bell”! (Actually un-ringing is DOUBLE ringing.)
Was he, himself, once a judge?
How sweet is that?
>> Did I just hear the sound of snoring coming from the jury?
Snoring, gagging... they’re similar...
I think you meant to post to the poster I was replying to.
I did hear Schaeffer say that it was a bad closing. Very emotional and not based on fact. I was surprised.
THANK YOU !!! And no laser pointers either.

I agree. Do not be alone anywhere with a crazy lib, at any time. She will be looking for a Zimmerman supporter to accuse of something-or-other, especially over the next few weeks. You do not want to be without objective witnesses. Do not get into any conversations.
Thanks for admitting you were just ‘trolling through’.
Done !
That's the FR consensus. Then again, on election day 2012 the FR consensus was that Obama would lose. It aint over until the verdict from the jury.
The NAACP is having a family reunion down there in Florida and those things have a tendency to get out of hand.
>> Nearly every one of those posters has since shaken off the MSM spell and they now realize whats really going on here.
I confess I was one of those. Took three, maybe four days to come around.
