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“.
You know what really infuriates me and scares me? What if George goes to prison immediately after sentencing...and he is killed, as is very likely? Can this evil judge be held responsible? I am beside myself now with the horrific possibilities of harm to an innocent man, solely due to evil racists and party operatives!
I don’t think they can talk about stuff that happened out of the earshot of the jury
I suggest that everyone who is outraged send money to GZ..even if it is a $5.00 money order or buy the book
With you 110%
This Judge is a real whiz.
Judge: The jury instructions sometimes have Zimmerman’s name in all CAPS, and sometimes in .....uh....uh....uh.......uh.......uh....
Here's what I just heard the prosecution attorney say...."At the request of the Court (Judge Nelson)......
And Corey, sitting right there in the front row.
Huh? Now the Prosecution is arguing FOR justifiable deadly force instruction?
MoM should get the 5th DCA to shut these kangaroos down.
The people of Floriduh should be on the phone to their state representative immediately to stop this fiasco —
Judge Nelson is that one person in the world a pit bull would not bite
I was wondering if they will charge him with jaywalking? /SSSSSSSS
That is EXACTLY what the racist, anti-whitey aholes are counting on.
>> Wouldn’t THAT alone be grounds for a mistrial? Jury tampering (intimidating, threatening, etc.)
IMO, you could make a case for that.
Absolutely. "Hey Roy, Gene and Hoppy all shot the bad guys' guns out of their hands. How hard can it be to just wound someone?"
If they go for too many, it will confuse the jury. Maybe that is their intention.
Hung jury most likely
if I was on this jury it would be Not G on every and any chg
If GZ goes to prison, there are those that will have his back.
Um, to date, there was no discussion of child abuse within earshot of the jury.

Not only her, but the prosecutors, and all others involved in this lynching!
