HE has a badge around his neck and is always with Z, probably because of threats.
Please don’t preach to me.
I had faith that my father wouldn’t die after being struck by a car. He died. I had faith that my mother would get well when she was ill, but she died. The same with my grandparents. It’s good to have faith, which I always have, but I am not naive like you...thinking that the jury members think exactly as you and I do.
Peace!
Judge Evil: (I don’t remember the exact wording)..but goes something like this..Please disregard anything I may have said that makes you think I’m leaning one way or the other.
OMG!!!
Wow, Judge Chris Farley is actually allowing the jury the option of finding the defendant ‘Not Guilty’. Shocking!
Certainly, size, ability of TM as well, it is a factor in the determination of self defense. The judge just read it.
Interesting, I listened to Levin last night and he stated that putting manslaughter in there at the end was devious.
The defense was not arguing against a manslaughter charge, it was grossly unfair to GZ’s defense.
I must be missing something. Figures
“If found guilty, it will be reversed. The exclusion of TM physical ability, past acts is reversible error, IMO.”
remember, appeals court could consist of biased judges just wanting to appease the race-baiters.
hes a Marshall
Wrong. Not automatic. The prosecution moved to have it added yesterday. This also is SOP. Again, it seems wrong, but, again, is what it is.
E6 has a serious, concerned and attentive expression as she has for most if the trial.
“Well actually both charges are “original” because the lesser is automatically included.
And both are covered by self defense.”
Oh crap. So much for logical deductions. And how convenient for the state, eh?
That would probably be a good idea.
Yes. I do feel like throwing up.
Just like I felt at the end, before the verdict, in the OJ trial.
State Police or US Marshall?
He was probably referring to that whole “child abuse” 3rd degree BS. And yes it was way out of bounds. Even this judge thought so.
Wide-eyed becasue he’s security?
Yup.
I feel like throwing up too. Please refer to my “made a McDonalds run” post for the reason.
