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“.
Just remember, like our lawless borders, this is all sponsored by government.
Could you do us all a favor? When you are quoting somebody elses post, could you put a set of these around it so we can tell who’s words belong to whom?

Mucho Gracias!
RIght ... How do you defend against an ever changing persecution of multiple theories. So when the persecution gets their arses handed to them, they then made the charge of arse handing
Persecutor is describing Rachel Jeantal hearing scuffle in wet grass. Of course, he did not mention the wet grass.
i’m sure this was so they didn’t want to make themselves targets of blacks.
why he got out of the vehicle is important as showing up in the argument right now..,.”following” Martin
Mantei is now arguing for a chase based upon the discredited testimony of Bajador
I wonder if the Hispanics will riot?
A little bit of prison history........the blacks and Mexican gangs were running the prisons, the white inmates were being dominated. Therefore, a new brutal, highly organized regime was created, commonly known as the Aryan Brotherhood. I am not suggesting they are righteous but they do fill a void in prison. Unfortunately, there was no other choice if a white inmate wanted to survive in prison.
I was in the Marines at Saint Crayon’s age.
He’s probably engaged to it now.
I don’t remember that, but it wouldn’t surprise me. I also wonder why the defense never brought up Zimmerman’s black ancestry.
If this truly is an example of how the system has been functioning all along, then I say thank the Lord this trial is highlighting ALL the dirty crap that goes on in court.
Maybe people will wake the he** up!
Please don’t overlook that corruption is increasing because that culture is being imported from other nations. I know of what I speak when I say that legal as well as illegal immigrants are experts on how to game the system. They come from countries where bribery, etc. is an absolute way of life.
We haven’t always been, I lived in a time when the nation had some integrity.
This is probably THE biggest outrage we've witnessed (and there have been many) since the trial began. I hate to think what the crooked state prosecution attorneys and rogue judges get away with when it is NOT being televised. Murder, perhaps? (See: Terri Shiavo murder-by-judge case).
I don't get what led you to that question. That cop is the one who shot ERIK SCOTT at the COSTCO.
Erik didn't even jump on the cop and punch him. All he did was reach for his waist band (like Trayvon reportedly did) and the Cops shot him until they ran out of bullets.
I was trying to answer your question with an example. I guess it could be a poor example, because Erik was 'white'.
