I’m guessing that was pretty effective. 4 minutes of silence will seem like an eternity. Interesting, and I’m shocked the judge didn’t interrupt it.

Zimmerman’s innocence is abundantly evident to anyone with half of a functioning brain.

Whether the ladies of the jury meet that criterion remains to be seen.

Oh, and for anyone who thinks that God doesn’t still perform miracles: four minutes of silence in a room with a bunch of lawyers. Think about that one.

We all know this trial isn’t about justice.

It’s about racial pandering to the liberals top victim group.

I’m concerned that Zimmerman will be sacrificed on the altar of political correctness regardless of the overwhelming evidence of his innocence.

I haven’t followed all of the details of the testimony - what is the significance of the 4 minutes?

"If Trayvon had survived, he'd been charged with ASSAULT & BATTERY"

I thought this one statement was the most powerful moment of the entire trial.

I am afraid that Mr. Zimmerman will have to win this case on appeal. Trial judge errors. They convict him, the the Jessie Jackson riot squad goes home. He wins on appeal three years or so from now, the riot squad will have already moved on to new adventures.

Just more evidence that Traydmark™ wasn't attacking Zimmerman because Zimmerman was following him, but because he wanted to rob him. That is the gangsta MO when it comes to robbing people, and there are a million examples: Sucker punch the mark or start a confrontation and *then* sucker punch the mark.

Example: (notice the hoodie)

Sucker punch and rob

Isn't it amazing how nobody has brought this up?

Why?

Because.........

If Zimmerman is found guilty, the new American standard will be shoot, shovel, shut-up.

The rebuttal prosecutor keeps referring to Trayvon as a “child”.

Shameless.

prosecution is wrapping up, and again, I cannot stomach watching these people.

They are closing with they want murder 2 because GZ said “effing punks” into the phone, and then inferring their entire case off those two words.

I am guessing since this is the foundation of their murder 2 argument, they sure don’t want the jury to linger on Trayvon’s “creepy ass cracker” comment the same way.

I cannot stomach these prosecutors. That is common language used by cops in the heat of dealing with someone, it’s off duty language certainly when kicking back with trusted friends - I know, I have cops in the family that talked about their day. Does that mean all those cops hunt people down to execute them? Or even if that’s an indication of their general intent towards others? Good grief.

Last hour is little St Martin vs evil cop wannabe.

Apparently it came out George was offered to become a Community On Patrol member where the cops would give him a uniform, car with amber lights on it, and instrumentation to actually patrol in such a fashion. George, being the hardcore cop wannabe, TURNED IT DOWN, said he didn’t want to do that.

The cop wannabe, DID NOT START the neighborhood watch program. Another woman in the neighborhood did. How did the hardcord cop wannabe not be the founder of the neighborhood watch program, so he could act like a cop through that program?

The cop wannabe, supposedly tracking and hunting down innocent St. Martin, when he got out of his car, not knowing where he had gone off to, why didn’t the guy who already had malice and ill will in his heart, why didn’t he pull his gun right then? Why did the cop wannabe let himself get sucker punched and beaten up and let St Martin grab for his gun while on top of him, before grabbing it and firing?

Why just one bullet? If he had ill will and malice? Why stop at one?

Where in the hardcore cop wannabe manual does it say it’s good procedure to let the person you’re “hunting” kick the crap out of you? What police training says that’s standard operating procedure?

Good grief.

My guess is that Zimmerman is screwed.

Liberal dogma has effectively captured and brainwashed most Americans. Hence, law, truth, justice and facts will be overriden by emotionalism and symbolism.

Indeed, the prosecution case rests on emotion.

Hence, hung jury or Zimmerman conviction most likely scenarios.

Zimmerman’s attorneys made the case simple to those jurors. Mark was trying to reach out to those females/to those moms by speaking calming. The hope now is that those women understand the law; to apply the law to the incident of George making the ultimate decision to act in self defense. They should not penalize nor judge him for the boy’s death/parents being sad.

Focus on the threat, of that incident. There was no other threat shown from evidence that George Zimmerman had made a threat to Trayvon. To me, beyond the prior phone calls to the 9-11 etc., it is irrelevant because Zimmerman had no other actions shown as a threat.

If they overlook the law, it could be a long weekend/then we will have a notion they are thinking with emotional reasoning or as a uniformed person(s)

Just a local Atlanta story. Nobody cares about one more white murdered by black thrill killers.
