I am incredulous. Has the state even proven that Martin was a child -- under 18.
I’m surprised the State ain’t also chargin Z for Ted Kennedy’s continued sobriety
“I am incredulous. Has the state even proven that Martin was a child — under 18.”
According to his birthdate, which I believe is Feb. 5, 1995, he had just turned 17 that month. But since “children” are charged as adults in many cases, the state is, as usual, flailing.
“Child abuse? I am incredulous. Has the state even proven that Martin was a child — under 18.”
The jury can only conclude that the Judge and State have just lost their minds. Everything they have seen is about a 2nd Degree Murder case. They diligently took notes, put up with being sequestered, etc., while the State shouted obscenities and presented bogus nonsense about a 2nd Degree Murder charge. The State has proved nothing, and surely has not disproved self-defense. The bastards are obviously still trying for a plea bargain — this time with the jury. Nelson is going to instruct the jury that “reasonable doubt” does not apply and they must find GZ guilty of something — here’s your menu.
If I were a juror, I would be on the verge of rioting after weeks of my life were stolen for this travesty, and would be itching to “talk to the press”.
