I have NO idea about THAT!
Good to see you too!
My 18 yr. old son is a little peeved with me because I won’t let him go to a concert downtown (Cleveland) tonight.
>> Quite honestly, I have NO IDEA.
Not to pester you, but you must have SOME feelings about it, because you argue against some outcomes, but not against all outcomes.
Well actually both charges are “original” because the lesser is automatically included.
And both are covered by self defense.
If found guilty, it will be reversed. The exclusion of TM physical ability, past acts is reversible error, IMO.
I have a ‘child’ flying in from DC to Chicago tonight. Hope there is nothing outrageous going on then.

The jury is paying very close attention. #Zimmermanon9
I am considering heading home here in Memphis, TN.
It was in Serino's deposition. He dismissed it, at the time, because it didn't seem related to the gunshot incident.
AND REMEMBER, it's just a theory. The description of the burglary tool was vague and could have been a piece of the awning.
HOWEVER, the reason I came up with it is because there had to be a compelling reason for Trayvon to risk being seen by Zimmerman, having the cops called, getting even more WET by leaving his daddy's back yard and returning to the same spot.
There is no way a young black juvenile male would 'risk' going back unless there was a reason. Most 'punks' don't attack a white person unless the odds are in their favor. Trayvon was alone.
There had to be something he had to recover , and when he got caught looking for it, then he had no choice but to attack to hide his potential crimes. He was likely on a 'next time you get in trouble, you're out of here' basis with DADDY as it was.
IIRC, there was some 'texting' from father to son indicating just such a thing.
Are you saying the charge of manslaugher was original in this case?
Stick to your guns.

The staring eyes on white-haired guy are creepy. he’s always open-eyed, looks a bit like crazy eyes to me. I wouldn’t have him sitting behind the defense table.
“You should not compare notes”
Hyeah. Riiiiight.
“The fact that penalties are not given to the jury is per the laws of the state of Florida. To quote MOM “It is what it is.”
I wonder.....if any of the jurors thought to research what the penalties are for possible charges in this case, before they were actually picked for the jury. Let’s hope.
Certainly past acts. We were allowed to know the history of the guy on trial in the case I was on.
Anyone else feel like throwing up?
Oy
Thats what I think also. GZ thought Crayon was long gone so he got out of the car and didn’t realize the kid was waiting to jump him. Maybe he would have been better off to have stayed in his car until the cops got there but its not agains’t the law to walk around your neighborhood.
2nd degree IS the charge. Manslaughter is automatically included.
