“What do you call an attorney who finishes last in his/her law school class?
Your Honor......”
Or in this case, Judge Nelson. lol
Once again how did Martin have the right to go wherever he wanted but Zimmerman somehow lost his right? Would the GZ is guilty crowd try and explain that one in some language other than moron.
I think someone tried that already.
I pulled BOE records and saw money changing hands between prosecutor and the judge ( when both were in the same case). They couch it as “Campaign Contributions” and they all laugh it off.... try being the defendant in that court :(
I didnt realize that about Wiehl. I do know she can be depended on to give a liberal view.
So can Gretchen Carlson (and most of the ladies) on social issues.
Agree.
Also I think this is why O’Reilly has her on his show as a legal expert....
You think she is conservative, but is really a lib...
So the whole thing gets nixxed, right?
Well, i hope they give the jury a list sooo long to sort out and read...that they look at it and each other and say, ‘let’s make this simple and true’. NOT GUILTY.
>> my fingerprints/DNA will be all over the env!
So don’t use a paper envelope... use plastic, and put that envelope inside ANOTHER plastic one. Then your DNA will mold. Have you learned *nothing* from following this trial? :-)
"We object your honor. It refers back to our previous argument which proves this argument."
It's why I don't do Board Meetings anymore...I'm afraid I'll jump the table and strangle someone.
That would be correct in the case of manslaughter or aggravated battery. But I think they could argue that the “merger” doesn’t apply to lesser charges which contain some new element, as in the case of child abuse. For example, if Florida had hate crime laws to address racially motivated attacks, I don’t believe they should be able to add this on since it would add an element (racism) not included in the 2nd degree murder.
I think it’s because the prosecution can’t request a jury instruction to include a greater offense. The prosecution here can’t request a jury instruction for murder in the 1st degree. So often the prosecutor will “overreach” because the prosecutor knows the lesser offenses are automatically included. This doctrine may vary from state to state and I don’t know what the FL statute says on this.
West expressed in court and knows exactly where this is coming from......Angela Corey. You want a definition of malicious prosecution? You are experiencing it right now.
Where is MOM????
So, after the verdict, will the jurors then find the truth? Wonder what they will think about the process of judging a person without ALL the facts.
I pray for them to shock the system and find George innocent of all charges.
Time to boycott Florida. Long past time.
We had planned a visit this fall to go to a Gators game. No way now.
I'm afraid it was entirely predicted by conservatives. We knew if this Obastard creep became President he would use the office to exact revenge on all Whities, and what we are seeing is the mere fulfillment of those predictions.
(Hiya, Machogirl! Get any rain last night? I think we got a drop or two in Chandler. Lotsa wind.)
Supposedly working on his closing arguments.
But, if I had to guess, right now at this moment he’s with West.
It’s pretty nice from Oct-May. Otherwise we stay inside as much as possible. Love to have you.
“Anybody feel free to correct me.”
No. Lesser charges are only automatic if the defense agrees to them.
