[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.

no it in fact does not mean that one iota

I sure wish your circumstance would change.

Other than that, your info should not be a shock but is. The shock is how quickly evil is spreading and common sense and rule of law is being overtaken by it.

rumor is the NBP and the “5%” (?) are all over Central Florida. Given the public statements by them, basically terroristic threats, I expect Holder to issue warrants in 10 ... 10 ... 10 ... 10 ... hey, the clock isn’t moving!

[gov_bean_ counter]

No it doesn't

BTW, how's the weather???

Also, didnt the Casey Anthony jury take almost a week to come back..people thought that would be a hung jury too..sometimes can’t read what these jurors are thinking but I think the one who took a lot of notes is the foreperson

I'm usually on the infrastructure side of the house in my positions. I think that I can count on one hand, the number of women that have been on my teams. They've all been exceptional, without exception. Maybe because it's IT infrastructure is male-dominated, and they know they need to prove themselves every day just to keep up? I dunno. I'll leave that for the social headshrinkers to figure out.

I do know that there's very little room to hide in IT infrastructure, especially when things break and break badly. It's a pretty Darwinian weedout process...people who otherwise might just slide by either find their way into other facets of IT or out of it completely.

I've had a number of female bosses though. None of them have been "exceptional", but I generally enjoy working for them. When dealing with extremely technical problems (that's my bread and butter), women aren't afraid to ask lots of questions, and will keep asking them until they understand what the issue is.

I've had plenty of male managers who just say "Uh-huh. Got it.", when 1) I know damn well they don't and 2) I know damn well they'll be back later that day asking the same things all over again.

Greta Van Susteren ‏@gretawire 19s jury wants an inventory of all the evidence (that makes sense to me…they should have that)

It is possible that they have made their unanimous decision but want to make sure that there is no evidence left out, that may cause them to change that decision.

That would be me NG on everything and I aint budging

[NautiNurse]

Weather is H&H (hot & humid). Perfect weather for hot tempers to flare.

[Fawn]

question not good in this upside down case. Implies going for lesser.

I agree. I hope the question is 'how many years for manslaughter'. So, they are shocked and just acquit him.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Bad news.

Remember, a hung jury works both ways - if only 1 juror thinks it is self-defense, and sticks to her guns, there will be no guilty verdict in this trial.

Unless the jury has been compromized, I strongly feel the best the prosecution can hope for is a hung jury.

It is obvious that this should never have gone to trial and there is no way six whacked “andy death is a murder” types got past the defense attorneys to the jury. One may have. At the outside, maybe even two. That is why I think that the absolute worst case scenario is a hung jury.

Unless DOJ tampered with them. But I honestly do think that is a very remote possibility unless we get a guilty verdict. Then it is the only explanation.

[Nita Nupress]

Reminder. The court will announce via Twitter that the jury is ready to return with a verdict.

Thanks! That's a great link i didn't know about.

[Mercat]

Nice use of the adjective “tighter.”

[advertising guy]

[Cheerio]

I believe Obama has created another first for our country: citizens on both sides arming up while watching a trial on TV. The Great Uniter!


NOW you see what he meant by TRANSFORMATION.

[Mouton]

Evidence list eh? Sounds like an argument has developed over whether someone’s point is actually in evidence or just someone’s IIRC in the jury room. I’d say Baldo better be a bit more concerned than MOM as MOM’s summation dwelt heavily on actual evidence, not supposition.
