I didn’t think Bernie was believable. I think he is intentionally being dramatic, and that it comes through loud and clear to me.
Oh noes! The arbor police will be at my door in the middle of the night don’tchaknow.
>>>And that wasnt a typo.<<<
Figured that...love it!
That's nothing. The Judge couldn't figure out what the opposite of ALL CAPS is.
Zimmerman was carrying the wrong weapon. The following might have been more handy:
I’m going for not guilty in the time it takes to elect a forewoman and fill out the forms. Back-up prediction would be hung jury, they make a lot of noise about retrying him, and accept a plea to the only crime he actually committed: littering.
The police chief thought otherwise.
Of course the consequences of that were great.
The people who routinely replace such principled men are why we have so many donutwatch threads.
I think if someone is dumb and has their minds made up, the evidence won’t change anything. I was just listening to Hannity, and two of his (white) callers identifies themselves as long time listeners and kept saying “if GZ hadn’t followed him.” again and again.
I think if I were the prosecution, that’s all I would say “if he stayed in his car. If he hasn’t followed him.” The empty heads really need absolutely nothing else.
“Ring neck Rachel said Martin had made it home during their phone conversation. Martin then doubled back to beat on George.”
I expect with her encouragement, too. Frankly, I think Z was walking back to his car when Martin jumped him. Wasn’t it raining?
In thinking over this case, I remember all the times when I was in other places and neighborhoods, driving or walking. Plenty of times I was looked at, asked whether I was lost or insulted in some way. One time, even a farmer at some distance came to a door, and I swear I saw a shotgun—I was UFO hunting. Long story.
Motorized bayonet! I love it. But my battery powered saw-s-all is a bit more stealthy.
They’ll be on you before the jasmine can bloom!
“That was the most pathetic closing I have ever witnessed. Im predicting a NOT GUILTY by 8 p.m. tomorrow.”
The problem is that the State gets one more shot at it, one more hour of rebuttal after the defense’s presentation is over. And that hour will be done by the other prosecution team lawyer, not this one. And the State will hear what was considered wrong with today’s presentation, what was missing, the critiques, all before they have to put on their one hour rebuttal, so that they can correct and fill in the gaps from today’s presentation. That’s the bad news.
You have a point, it is kinda hard to carry the AR concealed.
Has that thing got a Hemi in it?
I've read that dead TM's body was exposed during a rain. I can't remember the time frame his body was uncovered and exposed the blood *could* have washed it off out...
The ME office is just a joke. Someone may have washed TM's hands.
Listening to ME, I got the feeling that the ME shop was not really by the books.
The ME said he had "on respect" his underlings. But, he seemed to know very little about protocols. At the very least, he gave protocols short-shrift. He just did his job and so he had "on respect" of underlings without really checking things out.
What ME is going to tell you to bag evidence, especially wet evidence in plastic bags.
Follow up with staff was not his job, he said.
Excellent question.
As others are saying, according the Jeantel his friend, Martin had actually gotten all the way home. If he was home, why did he circle back?
If the defense decides that they don’t need a closing argument, does the prosecution get a rebuttal?
Exposed to the rain, and the backs of his hands were brushed off in the grass while Z was restraining him.
