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“.
Because Child Abuse can only be charged if there was intent. If the state was charging intent, they should have charged Z with 1st degree murder. Another sign of stupidity on the part of the prosecuters.

“... 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.”
I believe you’re right. You can see the evil in her face and sense it about her.
>>>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.<<<
Unfortunately, as someone mentioned upthread, that crap works!
hahaha! don’t tell me THAT was the actual knockknock joke??
Excellent
I have to chime in and agree with CL and Papa...be very very cautious around her. She may be smiling in your face, but have it in for you on the inside. I would always assume that she now believes you are a racist. Period.
“Unfortunately, as someone mentioned upthread, that crap works!”
Yup. If it is a low information voter type jury, Zimmerman is screwed. If there are one or two actual thinking human beings on the jury, surrounded by low information types, it will be a hung jury. If there are, miracle or miracles, all thinking human beings on the jury, or at least enough to persuade a couple of the low information ones that are malleable, then Zimmerman will be acquitted. It’s a crap shoot.
so will the riots be in Orlando? Disney?
miracle of miracles, above. Typo.
My bet is primarily Detroit and Chicago. Maybe Atlanta.
Yeah, she did. But you know she lies all the time. (See? That works for them too!)
LOL
I pray for George Zimmerman and that the jury sees through all the BS and finds Zimmerman NOT GUILTY!
Rush's comments have said it all! Obvious it has been a racist lynching of George Zimmerman from the beginning...when the New York Times referred to Zimmerman as the “White Hispanic who murdered a young Black teen.” And of course the Times and all the Media showed nothing but the picture of Travon Martin when he was 12 years old!
I saw it as a salvaging operation.
agreed
No, but I was fantasizing that MOM would close by only telling that joke, everyone would be shocked, and the 5 minutes later the jury returns a full acquittal.
I agree 100%
My money says IF there are any riots, it would be Northern Miami-Dade County.
