I pray for a fair and just verdict. My support and thoughts go out to the Zimmerman family and the defense team as we wait.

She is an FBI profiler. Crazier than hell.
On standby for 15 minutes in case they have a response to the reply.

And, before placing on standby, MOM had to tell the Judge that that might be a good idea in case the jury had a quick question. The judge wanted to go to dinner for an hour immediately.
BDLR looks smug.
MOM looks confident.
“GZ to judge: Yes Sir.”
LOL...we had a big discussion a few days ago because we thought we were hearing things then. Bless his heart. He thinks the judge is in drag, too.
By asking for clarification, they are signaling that they want to be seen as very diligent, and to cover themselves...especially against reprisals.
Reasonable doubt exists in vast amounts, regarding any charge—so vast that self-defense simply cannot be disproven.
The only way Zimmerman is not completely acquitted is if there is a deliberate, conscious decision by the jury to go against the law and their instructions.
Different state laws vary with regard to when someone who starts a fight may claim self-defense if the fight escalates to the point that he must use lethal force to escape it. If GZ is convicted, it will be because the jury felt he had some culpability for the initial conflict; Florida statute (but from what I read not the jury instructions) makes clear that even if George was 100% culpable for the initial conflict, he would still be entitled to use a gun in self-defense if Trayvon persisted in bashing his head in despite George's screaming.
that’s so true! will they negate our right to defend ourselves?
How is that NOT clear to the jury? Do you think they would possibly believe he wasn't getting the crap beat out of him?? Why do you say it's not good.
WTF TV. Jury as ordered dinner.
Question:
How can the judge “permit” the jury to consider a lesser charge of manslaughter? Isn’t that an arbitrary and capricious act on her part or is it permissible under Florida law?
Just asking.
Thanks in advance.
REgards.
Z voted for Obama, but I don’t think he’s a very political guy.
Right about now he’s probably thinking that wasn’t a good move.
Thanks for the Slam.
You will be rembered!
“It was an ignorant thing to say. I am as conservafive as they come and i find it offensive.”
Calling a spade a spade is probably offensive to you too. (Along with other things, sigh)
Why do I suddenly feel like I did at 8:05 pm last election night?
Praying for an acquittal, but I have a bad feeling about this...
I hope Omara is preparing George for the possibility of being found guilty?
Maybe the ice cream cone comment by West’s daughter on FaceBook PO’d her Majesty?
“Yes Dear” won’t allow me to drink, so that’s out. ;>)
This is painful. Now Fox has frog voice (Susan Estrich) screeching away. Grrrrrr
That’s right. MS against a minor by firearm = 30 years in Florida and this judge will give him every bit of it.
