Prosecution has obviously been working on argumants towards lesser charges...for more than a year? Bury the defense in argumentation, case after case, none of which (so far) seem to fit.

Including child abuse is a reach. If Trayvon had gotten the gun away from Z and shot him, he could be tried as an assault. To call that boy a child is a ridiculous.

Child abuse?

I am incredulous. Has the state even proven that Martin was a child -- under 18.

So far as I remember the defense has never stated case law to refute the prosecution, up to this point, I wonder why.

Would it then be okay for the judge to ask him at the end of every court day, starting from the beginning, whether he had decided?

'okay' is too ambiguous for me to answer.

She just got through asking him again and asking if he accepted not pleading guilty to lesser charges.

"Sentence first, then we can continue with the trial."

I am starting to think they will convict him of something

I hope to God that is some gang in the prison that will protect him...because he will need it.

This whole racist farce has been disgusting from Day One. This is just over-the-top crap! But the evil judge will probably allow it.

Child abuse? Dear, God, the prosecution is desperate for ANY conviction. This is not child abuse. This is a black thug attacking the wrong man. One who could defend himself. With all the evidence judgeCrazyAssCracker didn’t allow, it is known what a thug he was.

They have been grasping at straws since the beginning and are determined, as you said to get him on “something”. It burns my butt that the judge goes along with everything the state wants. Despicable, the whole thing!

WTF TV. Just said letters have been placed in jurors chair to see if they want to be interviewed by media after verdict. (Horror images of after the CAnthony verdict come to mind.....the public outcry)
*******************************************************************
Any word on exactly WHO IN HELL placed these letters on the jurors’ chairs? And WHO IN HELL approved that. Enquiring minds want to know since this is a subtle (correction—blatant) threat/reminder that these jurors will be publicly KNOWN. IMHO

This kind of crap is being orchestrated & approved by someone.

All you have to do is to click on #209

I am aware of how to navigate FR. My point is that on a fast moving Live Thread, one line chat posts w/o context come off as clutter. With context, some semblance of a group conversation is maintained.

Just my personal preference. Y'all do as you will

Comment From Stephen
Doesn’t “child abuse” imply there is a relationship between the child and adult that existed for a length of time more than a few seconds? Also, doesn’t child abuse necessarily excludes that the child physically assaulted and might have intended to kill the adult? Mantei’s nuts.

Don’t know when, but you can be sure it will happen and there will be a big shindig held at the White House in their honor.

I’ve thought for years that Nancy Grace is either mentally ill or has some sort of personality disorder.

NANCY disGRACE has more issues than National Geographic....she's as wrong as 2 boys in the horizontal position!
