Nancy was just mistaken. It was the prosecution.

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“.
“I don’t want to hear trick anymore”.
Holder is working with prosecuting attorneys...This is what Holder has been doing on the side...betcha..
I wish MOM was here right now..The Judge just does not like West
TM WAS perpetuating a felony on GZ. this is ridiculous.
From what has happened in the court this morning and over the past two weeks, it appears the State of Florida, a Federal Judge, the President, Eric Holder and the DOJ have conspired to publicly lynch a hispanic male named George Zimmerman on trumped up charges of murder and racism. This nation has become corrupt as any third world dictator nation in the world.
Yeah but the judge can make it a charge so they have to talk about it. But if she doesn’t allow it, the Defense can’t bring up that they talked about it.
We’ll see charges that Zimmerman ripped a mattress tag off before these motions are finished.
Actually it did work in the Casey Anthony case, it was the defense that used that tactic.
However the judge rules on that child abuse thing, right now she’s sitting there pissed that the state dropped this on her.
I’m offended that she won’t let West use the word “trick”. Let the man make his arguments. The damn federal government was funding Trayvon Martin protests. The defense hardly is facing a fair trial setting.
The judge is just creating a maze of appellate issues.
MSN would not lie to me, would they? /s
Yeah, but 24 hours of every day? That's impossible.
WTF...... Just charge him with aggravated 1st degree murder, with the death penalty.
I wish MOM was here right now..The Judge just does not like West
I thought the same thing. Of all times MOM needs to be there because she is not going to give West an inch of breathing room.
trust me...he’s watching...
Does that mean you’re a LEO?
But, I have no problem with A Hole and F'n Punk (X50)
Nancy was just mistaken. It was the prosecution.
Never thought I’d cheer on prisoners who attack other prisoners, but I’m sure leaning that way today! It’ll be MS 13 vs the Crips and Bloods and Black Muslims etc. I have a feeling the Mexicans are the most hardcore (and I hope so in this case)!
Child abuse??? Sounds like the Casey Anthony “throw the sh!/ up against the wall and see what sticks” method of winning a case.
HUH? It most certainly did. SHe walked, scott free. It was the only way that sleazy, stupid lawyer of hers could get her off. Now the state is using it to win as a desparate last-minute trick.
How did this idiot ever become a judge? For that matter, an attorney???
