If Doc McCoy on Startrek was giving the jury charge to the jury, he would preface it with: this case is dead, Jim.

” I am not sure that the Feds can pursue a civil rights violation against Mr. Zimmerman since he is not a “state actor” - that is a government official”

I agree.

Civil rights can only be violated by government, not by private actors.
It must be “under the color of law”.
Also, there must be “class based animus”

CNN is back with its coverage.

I am now watching Fox, however.

“They called the closing for the “persecution” brilliant and masterful.”

Love to hear who “they” is. I’ll bet “they” is Sunny Hostin who is just about the ONLY prosecution cheerleader on CNN. Geragos just tore her up on the 360 panel last night. Now THAT was “masterful”.

Is he inadvertently playing down the significance of Z’s family and friends saying it was Z screaming (by saying all family want to believe it was their son screaming)?<<<

idk...not watching...only following thread in between laundry and bill paying. Maybe doesn’t want to make the screaming a big issue in jury’s minds.....?

Wrong.
Self Defense is all George Zimmerman needs.
works as affirmative defense for both Manslaughter and Murder.

I’d love for the jury foreman to stand up at the end of the charge and say, we don’t need to deliberate....not guilty all charges say us one and say us all.

Bill Sheaffer:
bigal; yes mr. guy will do an impressive closing. he is taking notes and will try to undercut MOM’s argument. He will have about 45 minutes to do that. It will be interesting to see if he is low key or shouts and uses swear words

The defense slammed the city of Sanford for not isolating Martin’s family members when listening to the 911 calls. #Zimmermanon9

I don't think so at all. *THAT* particular bit of drama, for all intents and purposes, is a complete wash. SF thinks it was TM and Mrs. Zimmerman believes it to be *her* son. No way to accurately tell by voice alone, so it needs to be taken into context with other available evidence. Nothing more than that...
