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“.

The defense says Martin had almost 4 minutes to go 348 feet to get away from #Zimmermanon9 but chose not to.
We now live in a banana republic where a man can be lynched by our federal and state officials, right in front of God and heaven above. May the good Lord have mercy on Mr Zimmerman and keep him in His Holy, Divine care and protection.
And God forgive me, but it’s my sincere hope that this #&$% Judge goes on her lunch break and gets her big, fat, cracker butt firmly and permanently wedged in the first Kohler solid waste receptacle she visits.
judge under threat....bs...if so....it’s phony

How can someone inflict "child abuse" on a violent stranger who is old enough to serve in the armed forces?
The claim was for his great-grandfather.
Thanks for the clarification.
It’s easily argued from the transcript that he got out of the vehicle to answer the dispatcher’s question of Martin’s whereabouts after Martin started running.
Dispatchers says, “are you following?” Zim says, “yeah”. Dispatch says “we don’t need you to do that.” Zim says, “OK.”
How long could that have possibly been...a coupla minutes at most.
And was it illegal “repeatedly stalking following” or was it “checking whereabouts following?”
Clearly the latter. None of which changes Zimmerman’s right to defend himself when he’s getting his brains beat in.

Yeah, like jury was allowed to decide if TM prior behavior, aggressiveness, and fighting experience could have had anything to do with an attack on Z.
Meant to send this to you:

She is not worthy of being called “cracker”.
she should have one of those back up beepers affixed to her wide load

He was watching him.
The testimony by the woman trapped in her bedroom could really sway the jury toward Zimman
Thanks. I just saw above that it was the Defense that moved to have all these charges heaped on their own client. I hope you can understand why I was a bit confused.
