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“.
Frau Blucher!
Actually he did, but not to you. His response was that he was a troll and had fun doing it.
Post #2379, iirc.

While you’re at it, leave them some Thomas Sowell articles (with pic, of course).
You can bet the BlacKKK Panthers are on their way down. Likely funded with our tax dollars.

I’ll tell you, I have tickets to Paul McCartney tomorrow night in DC.
I am a VA CHP holder, which gives me no permit to carry in DC.
Seriously thinking about selling the tickets. Such a great area of DC...
So the prosecution doesn’t even know how do describe a gun with a round in the chamber. Hahahaha.
how much is police justifying bloated budges and politicians mugging for the cameras.
like the attention prostute sherrif who appeared in a rap music PSA for some political face time.
Canned dog food...
Objection
Lame argument from Prosecution
Objection Overruled!
I can take care of your dog as they make Alcatraz a working prison again.
And, you will be given the test run that Alcatraz is all we remember it to be.
Like the Judge, he's been told to appear unbiased, but make sure to throw the case.
it matters to the jury. The term was intentional. It was meant to show malace.
overclocking cpu’s on chips.
overloading magazine clips.
think like the jury.
I believed Obama could not possibly lose in 2012 once the Republican Party presented Romney as its nominee.
I explained why I thought that and have been born out since.
It was by no means a unanimously held opinion that the Choom party boy would he sent packing.
Back on topic, this is a different situation and I think there will be an acquittal.
adding zeros to the settlement check.
seriously “arrest him now and dismiss it later”? (city manager)
Let’s not forget that Zimmerman actually called the cops before the shooting occurred. Which would make him the first cold-blooded murderer in history to call the cops and direct them to where he was going to commit a murder. Even the Riddler on the Batman TV show would only offer that information in riddle form, not state it outright.
This also shows that Zimmerman WANTED the cops to intervene and investigate Martin. Zimmerman had no plans or intention to take the law into his own hands and he would’ve waited for the cops to arrive if Martin had not forced his hand by attacking him.
Ring neck Rachel said Martin had made it home during their phone conversation. Martin then doubled back to beat on George.
Well, we had harness horses......they almost always were given to Amish, great buggy horses. But I get your drift. Lol
Like after 9/11, anyone with a turban, wherever they lived got a beat down even though they had nothing to do with it.
Wouldn't be a fair bet. It's already been revealed in the press that a government agency called the CRS has arranged for willing rioters to have food, shelter, t-shirts, signs and transportation to Sanford for the 'festivities'.
CRS is a subsidiary of the Atty General's office.
>> Wow..all I see is pure evil in her eyes!
That’s right.
Mantei and Guy are mini-me ladder climbers
Bernie is a burned-out professional asshole ready to pension out and garden
The judge is one part incompetent, one part frustrated frowzy old maid, and two parts anal retentive bureaucrat
... but Angela Corey — she is of Satan. This one is PURE EVIL. There is NOTHING Corey won’t do — NO ONE Corey wouldn’t destroy — Zimmerman, you, me, her mother, whomever — if she perceives it will further her wicked plans.
That cross around her neck puzzles me. I can’t figure out quite why it doesn’t burn a hole right through her trachea.
