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 think you're wrong ... judges all think that messianic egomania is quite appropriate

No one produced evidence of African ancestry. It was just a guy claiming it
What you just described in prison is the racial horror we are falling toward, while everyone is oblivious to it. America is promoting stupid racism rather than addressing this in a thoughtful manner.
After the final buzzer, the state wants to change to the game of golf, where low score wins.
No, something else is going on. A messianic egomaniac does not studder.
“Kenyan dictator is laughing.”
And so is his good buddy Lucifer. Laughing and cackling.

The state just said the facts show an equal possibility that either #Zimmermanon9 or Martin was the aggressor.

MOM is said to be preparing his closing arguments. After today, those closing arguments may need major tweaking, depending on the Judge’s decision on this third degree child abuse lesser
Sorry, stutter.
The Judge got first dibs.
Are you saying the Aryan Brotherhood would defend Zimmerman? He’s Hispanic and apparently part black, too. I can’t imagine they would help him at all, but I hope he has a lot of “friends” when he gets there.
No kidding! I was in Air Force when I was 17. 150 years ago, it wasn’t uncommon that someone who was 17 years old would be married with children and running their own farm.
I bet 20 bucks for FR that the little pissant wears elevator shoes!

LOL
West arguing insufficient evidence for a variety of the new trumped charges. You just know Judge TOOL will rule, “let the jury decide.”
In answer to the original question posed in your quoted post: No, the “judge” and persecutors cannot be held liable if Zimmerman is killed in Prison. They have immunity.
Oh, I thought I saw photos of his grandmother or gr-grandmother. But those might not have been factual family photos.
The AB has blacks and Mexicans in their ranks........the prison AB was originally not a racist group, think of them as survivalists.
This joke of a trial is frightening.
We are all George Zimmerman.
