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.

I spent the last few minutes checking out Zimmerman tweets on twitter. I had to stop. There's only so much anti-white hate that I can tolerate reading.

“how did the series\hugh meme start here anyhow?”

I don’t recall, but it’s mute and irrevalunt anyway!

One of the skills of an attorney is reading people. I would have no problems if a black got seated after examination.

I buried my first Grandson, age 5 days.

jello333 at CTH says:

That’s exactly what I’m thinking. They took a vote, and it was 5-1 to acquit. They asked the holdout a few questions, and realized it might be best to start showing her various bits of evidence (hence the request for an evidence list).

But after an hour of hitting her with various things, she was still not giving in. So they ask her, “Ok, you wanna sleep on it tonight and we’ll start again tomorrow?”

Can you imagine, though, the pressure that black jurist would be under to convict or the fear he would have to face if he didn’t?

So are all the union protestors and the children they dragged along with them gonna camp out on the courthouse lawn? We should send them Skittles and fruit tea

[holden]

a lot of random acts, sucker punches, teeth getting knocked out, with comments like “That’s for Trayvon.”

I’m so sorry.
One of the small children was my 8 year old brother.
Levels you.

The worst thing for me, even worse than the things you mentioned, was the prosecution's open, repeated calls for the jurors to ignore the evidence and "listen to your heart".

I can understand a defense attorney calling for nullification because sometimes that's all you have against the vast power of the State.

But a representative of that State power calling for the nullification of the law is nothing but chilling.

You keep repeating there was a juror crying during the prosecutions rebuttal. This is not true, the AP reported they THOUGHT they saw a juror wipe one eye but another reporter who has been in the courtroom the entire trial said the juror is B29 and has wiped her eye or eyes for whatever reason throughout the entire trial,

Once again proving that a lie can spread all over the world while the truth is getting its pants on.

[Sacajaweau]

Let's flip this a bit. If you were either pros or defense attorney....would you seat a black person for the sake of a more diverse jury knowing full well that you may be putting their life in serious danger since stats say blacks more often kill blacks.

I'm not sure I remember this right but didn't they excuse a black male juror?

I once heard the awful Orrin G. Hatch once gushing over Juan Williams, and right then and therer I knew both were sorely lacking.

[Sacajaweau]

The dude that was dismissed was a white cop...had given money to Zimmerman defense fund.

I think Geraldo redeems himself in this video at Huffpo

Anti-white hate; now didn’t the American liberal community predict that this would disappear with the election of Obama. Even a fellow named John McPain predicted there would be nothing to fear from an Obama administration. Aren’t Geroge W. and Jebbie big Obama pals too?

Hannity mentioned in conversation with JW today that Juan’s son was a conservative, which I find hard to believe. Would serve Juan right, tho.

A FReeper yesterday suggested that verdict should be read at 6am. Can’t argue with that. On a hot Friday or Saturday summer night could be a problem.

I'm not sure I remember this right but didn't they excuse a black male juror?

I wasn't following the trial very closely when jurors were being examined. But your point about black on black crime is one of the reasons I questioned who could be viable on this jury given the (unfortunate) racial component of it.
