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“.
Zimmerman is being charged with child abuse — along with everything else.
here comes a psyc-ops plan to intimidate the jury
.
Any of you who still have any belief in or respect for our government need to call their senators and congressman.
Do you believe that any one on the jury would wonder if they have been committing illegal acts their entire lives if they ever followed someone?
This is just jaw dropping.
Tell you what I see in the future - white people in ‘diverse’ neighborhoods might consider moving out. I’m in the process of doing just that as this country has gone completely insane.
I now realize I could be GZ any given day.
DAMN it!!!!

Sanford PD chief told @KRayWFTV that bomb threat could be an effort to draw cops away from #Zimmermanon9, among other possibilities.

Didn’t Trayvon have priors? If his priors were “charged as an adult”, seems like they could defend somehow that the state cannot say that he was both a child and not a child. JMHO
Where is the jury presently? They are not scheduled to be in court until 1PM.
Eh kind of but it’s mostly about getting whitey to never defend against the black thug or else.
If the 17 year old GZ killed was white you’d never know of either of them. Its not just about gun control. It’s a social “justice” or comeuppance thing as they say.
666 — the post of the devil.
“Bill Sheaffer:
If there’s a conviction and appeal, it would be 12-18 months, during that time Mr. Zimmerman would be in prison”
During which he would be in fear for his life 24/7 and would probably not live to see the second month in prison. Which is (as stated previously) exactly what the racist anti-whitey aholes are hoping for and expecting. And Nelson is doing her level best to see that happen.
Words cannot express how evil this entire fiasco is.

Defense said it is the fear of great bodily harm that is applicable here, so no need to describe how severe “great bodily harm” must be.
>>>Any of you who still have any belief in or respect for our government need to call their senators and congressman.<<<
I have no respect for gov’t, senators or congressmen! What now?!!
I swear I’m going to be sick to my stomach.
I would hope not, but given the idiocy from talking heads, people on the internet, and people I've spoken to in person, I'm truly concerned about how the jury might interpret any of this stuff.
You gotta be shitting me.
The lesson from this case is to use the 3'S treatment, with the most emphasis on the last S. The Shut Up Part.
If there is disorder in the streets, can they insulate the jury from seeing it? Is undue influence going to be imposed upon them?
Yep, that sickening social justice crap is every where.
stupid fools who fall for the white guilt crap really really piss me off!
