Yea, but it was hazardous waste—I think that carries a longer sentence.

It was bio-degradable. That has to count for something.

He’s also quite good at the subtle needle. That “may I use your doll” remark, for example.

What is an “overloaded” gun?

"But wait . . . the kid is dead. He can’t tell his version."

That's kind of like the Menendez (sic?) trial in California.

Two sons sneak up on their parents. Parents were watching TV, I think. Gunshot. Gunshot.

I think the defense actually said to find the brothers 'not guilty' because, after all, they were now orphans. IIRC, these guys, I think, were in early 20's of age.

Defense told them to wear certain pullovers to look normal and neat and the defense was hanging all over them as if she was mother to those cute little scamps.

They went to prison.

“That was the most pathetic closing I have ever witnessed. I’m 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.

Well Gorilla44 posted the predication. I just smiled :)

Me, I'm going to pray for the jury members (especially them)
and defense team to be safe.
I think George Zimmerman should be acquitted.
I believe that Trevor came back after talking to that girl to teach Zimmerman a lesson.
And that things went terribly wrong after that.

Today’s closing argument was long on emotion, short on concrete and truthful facts. Just like a typical Dem on any given day. All emotion, no facts.

[UCANSEE2]

I think he went back to get that ‘break in’ tool he left in the bushes, and got mad because Zimmerman was still following him.

[Andy from Chapel Hill]

Can MOM tell the jury what the sentencing guidelines are for each charge?

Someone said he was prohibited from doing so.

What is the penalty for him just stating the info to the jury?

[novemberslady]

You maybe correct. But, don’t forget that the state gets the final rebuttal once the defense completes their closing arguments. So they get to punch holes in the defense and theirs will be the last words heard before the judge sends them into deliberations.

Hi Deport.
Gorilla44 made the prediction. :)

[novemberslady]

Didn't the girl say when she spoke to Trevor he was at his fathers house?
I think so.

“overloaded”

So 16+1 and two spare mags would be an “arsenal”?

[zencycler]

Knock knock

Who's there?

You got a problem?

No

You got a problem now - kerpow kerpow

Help help, kerpow kerpow, help help, kerpow kerpow

Bang.

Donna, take papa bear’s advice to heart. This person will LIE about what you say and do, make it up out of whole cloth if necessary, just to get you into trouble big enough to get you fired. Do not interact with her in any way unless you have a witness! Please!

And never say the word “shoot” around her, even with a witness!

[Solson]

Interesting. On WTF9 the commentators who have been pro-state throughout the trial were quite dismayed at BLDR's closing arguments. On the way home, listened to HLN on Sirius and they were PRAISING BLDR and say "he really brought it home." I was absolutely stunned.

I don't know what to think but if it were my choice, NOT GUILTY on all counts would be my ruling. Because of the jury rules, disregard for the rule of law, etc. I wouldn't be surprised at a Manslaughter charge which will be overturned on appeal.

A few times in my life I’ve seen a racehorse not leave the gate. Other times run dead last . Once I saw one jump the fence and run through the infield.
Each time I would LMAO.

[Uncle Chip]

He can’t do that but I’m sure tomorrow he will dispel with the culpable negligence part of the manslaughter charge in his closing remarks.
