[Uncle Chip]

Today, July 12th, is DAY #24 (of 5th week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.

Yesterday the prosecution provide closing arguments (Summary: http://legalinsurrection.com/2013/07/states-closing-argument-two-hours-of-raising-doubt).

Today the defense attorney, Mark O’Mara will present his closing argument. Then the prosecution rebuttal.

[Bronzewound]

I could never be considered stoic, but I think if I had been demonized publicly to the degree GZ has been, and knowing what horrors my future might hold, I might be in a kind of resigned, numb, depressed state and sit silently, so as not to call attention to myself.

Attorneys are back in the courtroom. Judge TOOL is not—she is receiving her orders from Holder/Corey.

Where are you getting the live stream outside of the courthouse?

Is this an obligatory question to show their diligence, verdict to follow after clarification?

[snarkytart]

Well yes the media is showing them, encouraging them. Frankly it’s disgusting and imo should be seen as jury intimidation.

Jury requesting an “inventory list by number and description”.

Would be good...

Anyway to find out what that question is?

My guess is they have a split decision.

[SE Mom]

I completely agree about George’s demeanor. I think he may have been given some Xanax or. ..

Jury Question: Is there an evidence inventory list by number and description?

[Toespi]

If I remember correctly......didn’t the OJ jury have a question just prior to verdict?

[101stAirborneVet]

Jury requesting an “inventory list by number and description”.

Anyone have any thoughts?

George need not go out of country. We here in East Tennessee would be honored to have him as a neighbor ... and we take care of our own. As an amateur gunsmith, I assure you we have the tools necessary to the task.

This trial probably has as many viewers (and hangers-on waiting for the verdict) than the Superbowl has.

This question shows the jury is seriously debating GZ’s fate. No flimsy “guilty” based on emotion verdict here.

This could be a VERY good sign.

“Is this an obligatory question to show their diligence, verdict to follow after clarification?”

Hopefully it’s to confirm that if they find that GZ acted in self-defense that it supercedes both murder-2 and manslaughter.

I remember one of the jurys I was on did this. We had a holdout that refused to vote until a single point was clarified. We asked the question, got a fuzzy answer, and the needed excuse was there for the juror to vote with the rest of us. They had done their “due diligence”. ;-)

There should be no flaming. Women are emotion based.

Except for those believing there is no difference between man and woman.

Weeds question.
