And he can’t understand how this “innocent” 17 year old ended up dead.

If BDLR made any claims surrounding TM's character, that should at minimum open the door for the defense to make some comments about his character in closing. It would have been better if they could introduce more evidence of his character, but any mothers on the juror should recognize that the father's calling Juvie looking for his kid means that he (the father) knows his kid was hardly "innocent".

You gotta understand something:

Angela Corey and her merry band of prosecutors were dead serious about the “child abuse” charge and so was Judge Nelson.

The prosecutors had an entire dossier of cases to back up that charge that must have taken months of research.

It was all but a done deal with Judge Nelson.

Then Nelson took a recess and when she came back she was of a different mindset and the state was none too happy with her change of mind.

Somebody shook her tree in chambers and one can only guess who that was.

“With clearly more to go. People in the courtroom said it was clear he had lost the jury’s attention and sympathy”

that explains the weird ending

You have got to check out how Angela Corey reacts to Bernie saying “Catch the f’ing punk that gets away.” Hahahaha!
Start the video at 46:30, it made my day.

Ya think there was a chance the jurors heard that comment? And, if they did, do you think they would discuss the “Why”?

the thought crossed my mind that this nutcase could go back in and say that i said anything she wanted. i blew it off.
you all are right though. i will watch my back.
she became so ANIMATED i really was wondering if she was goibg to get violent. (no cameras).
she pissed me off so - she needed to know that i would take a pounding in the head as serious as zimmerman.
ps. when i was running around gathering supplies for haiti guess how much SHE contributed?
you got it. NADA

She’ll care a lot less if Zimmerman wins. If he loses, there will be appeals, which won’t do anything but suck for her. Highly paid State investigators will be rifling though her stuff, private investigators too, but they won’t be as gentle this time (either side). They might dig out something wild, like she was Traydemark’s techie who set up his double password protected phone. Ain’t nobody got time fo dat!

But if he wins, it’s all a footnote forever, nothing more.

So, what should the illiterate manatee hope for? I think, if she had half a brain, she should be quietly rooting for George but I’ll bet she’s not. Because I don’t think she does.

IIRC, Bernie insinuated that Z knew the camera was not working.

Let’s hope he plays “Band on the Run” for when you’re all trying to get back to your cars after the show.

What is an “overloaded” gun?

If a firearm has e.g. a seven round magazine, many people will load the magazine with seven rounds, insert it, and chamber a round, leaving the magazine with six. On many (but not all) firearms, it would then be possible to remove the magazine, insert another round, and re-insert the magazine. I've not studied the exact dimensions involved, but I believe inserting a fully-loaded magazine into a firearm whose action is closed will push down somewhat on the top round; a magazine which didn't have to allow that when fully loaded could be made a little shorter than one which did; not all magazines allow that, and consequently not all firearms can usefully hold "full magazine plus one".

Personally, I would tend to think that such loading would be a nuisance, since every time the weapon is cleared one would have a cartridge one would have to store somewhere other than the magazine, but I would not begrudge anyone who wanted to go through such effort in order to have a maximally-loaded weapon.

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

The attorney gets jailed for contempt of court, and the judge gets to declare a mistrial which--because it was caused by the defense attorney's actions--would give the state a chance to put the defendant through another trial.

Sorry if I offended.

My point was to illustrate the level of discourse used by Bernie who also forgot to mention that Trayvon might be on a precise par with the 2 kids (one of whom lived in the development) who robbed and, if they had gain access to the room in which she had hidden, might have raped and killed the young housewife and murdered her child.

This was the mindset of GZ...he knew how serious was the threat against himself and his neighbors.

Of course he thought that the oddly gaited young man (hence the name "lean") might be a thief and, possibly, killer.

He was scared as h$ll (oops, hope that didn't offend)...but he knew that if someone didn't take a stand, it was just a matter of time till the worst happened.

On the other hand, the TM family will gleefully bask in their new wealth gained by the death of their son.
