Day 23 (Week #5) Zimmerman Trial – Closing Statements
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | July 11, 2013 | Sundance

Posted on 07/11/2013 4:59:59 AM PDT by Uncle Chip

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 saw a good liberal on TV the other day. Her daughter was maimed in the Boston bombing. You know what this 50-something nice white lady from the North East said?

Uh, nothing? Dead liberals don't talk.

I think she was promised a federal judgeship for life by the Obama Admin if she forces a conviction. she's already been up for the FL supreme court twice

This is also a lesson to “whites”. Take your beatdown like a man. You don’t have a right to defend yourself. (Barry, MSM and DOJ race baiting)

No, the lesson to whites is not talk to the police or ANYBODY if you have to defend yourself. Even if the police agreed with Z, politicians pushed their agenda.

In my lifetime, I have never seen anything like this Administration and the race baiting. It’s Shameful.

Is there any evidence anywhere that Martin may have impregnated a girl?

If that were the case, he would no longer be considered a child but an adult.

"She doesn’t give a sh** about the riots. I’m betting she has a plane flight to Vegas leaving at 7PM for Vegas."

I wonder if she, and other judges, routinely have body guards.

There would be some who would take a judge down for being found "guilty" in her court.

And, yes, I agree. She probably is already booked to Vegas, Poconos, Disneyland, etc.

Anything to get out of town quickly.

The defense might want to get out of town, too.

Will the jurors have such an option?

I'd take off from Sanford/Orlando for safer ground but probably would come home to the charred ashes of my house.

Burn the house would be better than burn the juror. Heaven help them.

I’m confused on that. If I got this straight, she told West that “not guilty” wouldn’t be on the page with the charges, then she tells him all will be on one page. Then did I hear her say “I understand, but I’m not going to do that?” Wishing I had a replay of that.

Yeah. That's about how it went down (another infamous Debra video being made as we speak). My question to the idiots that format the jury instructions....if the presumption is of innocent UNTIL (or unless) proven guilty... shouldn't the option to choose "Innocent" be on the very first page, instead of the last page or buried in the 'lesser charges' BS? Whadda farce!

Why do I get the feeling that the DA and the Judge and the State are in cahoots, and will likely inform the Jury ( in private ) that they need to at least choose the lesser of the charges, child abuse.


No, that’s not going to happen. There would be six people hearing these “secret” instructions, and only one needs to blow the whistle, then everybody involved in the secret instructions will go to jail for felony jury tampering.

That’s a state appointment. They are elected or serve for a term.

Federal is an entirely different court system. The appointments there are for life.

Looks good! I was in Texas once a few years back. I did like it but was shocked at how very scorching hot it was! Having spent time in AZ, I thought I knew heat!

I was at the pool with my daughter and honestly couldn’t be out of the water for more than 5 minutes without feeling like I was burning up!

I'm a little outspoken here but George said something....God let this happen. I agree. All my prayers are for him. He represents you and me and every intention of the original Bill of Rights.....right down to the rotten judge.

Just like it took a hit on the USA on 9-11 to wake up the world to the monsters of the Muslim world and culture, this will wake up our country to the damage that Obama has put in motion.

Sure...Why not. Even Roberts jetted off to Malta after the Obamacare decision. If federal judges split the hemisphere over a civil case, God knows where this lady is gonna land.

The Mantai Prosecutor went to great lenghts to argue that the animation wasn’t anatomically correct. I can see without measure that this dummy is not the same size as GZ.
