And the state doesn’t have, and never will, an explanation for how Martin got from his dad’s home back to the T, if it wasn’t by his own volition.
In fact, while one can argue as a matter of physics that it wouldn’t have happened if Z never left his car, one can also argue that it never would have happened if Martin hadn’t left home after he got back from the store.
It’s a matter of 140 feet, 140 feet the state can’t explain.
The radical Islamists will have a field day with this. I believe they will take strong alliance with Blacks if they believe it will hurt America.
The defense should blow up a poster with 140 on it.
That should be part of def closing statements!
“Why do we have such RULES bernies voice goes into the high voice at the end.”
I know defense cannot talk about the penalties involved in the “lesser” charge, but could he say to the jury that because his client was charged with second degree, his client either wishes to be found on that charge or to be found innocent?
Keep it classy please.
I think you should sell them. Afraid DC will come unglued. It will for sure if a verdict comes down but I don't see how one will be that soon. But, what if it did?
I recall that as well. I haven't heard anyone on TV mention that. I really hope that the defense uses that tomorrow. If they can show a map with timestamps and distances, in context with GZ's call, DeeDee's testimony and 911 calls it will be a slam dunk. It is important that the defense uses evidence entered in court by the persecution.
I watched as much of the prosecutor as I could before I had to leave. His basic argument about the actual fight that made Zimmerman fear for great bodily harm appears to be that, despite the witnesses and injuries, that Zimmerman, the only one bleeding, is lying.
And somehow he can’t understand why blood isn’t on the hands of a guy who was punching, wrestling, and clutching with Zimmerman. And it was raining. And the hands weren’t checked.
He can’t understand how a guy can not know a street name. He can’t understand how a pistol on the HIP can’t be reached by a hand slid along the side of one’s torso when someone is on top of you. He can’t understand how in a struggle description the statement about hands covering mouth and nose doesn’t necessarily mean 101% of the time since that struggle was ongoing. And he can’t understand how this “innocent” 17 year old ended up dead.
What I can’t understand is how he’s allowed to call Martin innocent and not have Zimmerman’s defense permitted to impeach Martin’s burglary tools, school suspension, jewelry thieving character.
I also can’t understand WHY the state is allowed to change its charges at the end of the trial, when it’s too easy to include them all at the beginning....even the stupid child abuse charge.
Perhaps some lawyer could explain these things to me. :>)
>>>...by the persecution.<<<
LOL!!
Maybe they only act like this is when the cameras are there - with wall to wall coverage.
Might score a judgeship along the line.
OK, what do you think the City Manager finds more important.... His Job and Income, or the mess that George Zimmerman ended up in ? When the Mayor and Governor and Attorney General call you on your private number... you get the message. And you do as told.
Those assault trees better be advised, I’m real good with my saw-s-all. I’ll lope them in a second!
FWIW my prediction...hung jury because of the lesser charges, state will NOT retry.
And that wasn’t a typo.
That has a separate budget and comes from an entirely different agency.
Whoa! Premeditation!
Think I’ve finally figured out who the high pitched voice is repeatedly calling for help ...... It was Barney!
From what I can hear, listening to Hannity this afternoon, is that the people of this country, speaking generally, are just too damn stupid to survive.
They can understand even the simplest of concepts.
If Zimmerman is deprived of his freedom, then the rest of America will soon follow.
That is all.
Our local news last night showed a gathering nearby of a mostly African-American crowd featuring some of Trayvon’s relatives. They had gathered to ask people not to riot but to gather at churches and other ‘designated places’ to voice their disapproval if the ‘verdict doesn’t go our way,’ a woman said.
Al Sharpton has been hanging around here lately fanning the flames of all kinds. He was the commencement speaker at FAMU in May. He has been leading various protests.
I also wish the black community would recognize that Jess/Al are USING them for their own monetary gain.
