The Official Zimmerman Trial Verdict Thread

[The Rabbi]

Wouldn't you say some of the defense witnesses were biased as well? One called the defendant "Georgie", another bought his suits and donated $3000 to his defense, and most seemed to be on a first name basis with the defendant and even claimed they knew what his voice sounded like in a scream, lol.

I still get a kick out of the defense attorneys and how they spin the manner of how Zimmerman used the term "assholes" and "******* punks" (when referring to TM) in the most respectful way as if he was speaking to a priest! LOL. I don't care how many times they try to say it with the warm fuzziest voice, it just doesn't work.

Um, they're "defense witnesses". Of course they're biased.

Got to love Sunny Hostin on CNN saying Tracy Martin calling police officers liars is good for the prosecution.

Actually, belittling law enforcement on a nationally televised stream is quite bad for the prosecution.

Why? The jurors are what matters in the trial. If they feel like the police in that area are racist it may work

Usually all state witnesses speak towards their case, and defense witnesses speak towards their case. It only seems weird in this case because so many witnesses for the state spoke favorably for the defendant or had contradicting statements prior to trial. I think it is a stretch to imply that "assholes" or "******* punks" meets the legal standard of what encompasses ill-will, spite or depraved mind. Different people have different opinions on foul language, but just those words don't legally reach that standard. Since the 911 tape was released every one has debated who's voice it was. Even if it is TM's voice, what are the explanations given by the state that he ended up on top of GZ screaming for help?

I wouldn't be moved if all they had were his friends coming up, but if they had a witness who saw something, or an expert to testify to something, but not biased witnesses. I didn't give Rachael much credibility for the prosecution because if bias as well. ..or parents.

There will be specialists coming over the next two days. They had to counter the immediate proposal of the state, which was TM's mother and brother.

You think it is a stretch to imply that "assholes" or "******* punks" meets the legal standard of what encompasses ill-will or spite? Come on! Do you go around greeting your friends each day, Good morning, Asshole and ******* Punks? How are you today? I would say they just may be offended or think you are depraved or missed your meds!

Both of those terms are derogatory terms and considered cursing which denotes a negative emotion. It's as simple as that ...you can't shit and call it a rose.

I expect there to be some excellent witnesses coming from the defense. I expected them today, matter of fact.

Such a stellar young man.... In Reversal, Florida Judge Okays Testimony About Trayvon Martin?s Marijuana Usage | The Smoking Gun

Have you ever smoked weed? Has anyone in here, ever? If so, are you less of a ******* American citizen due to it?

Why wasn't Zimmerman at least drug tested after shooting that unarmed kid? No dodge, just a question. Personally I pick...he used what he learned in school how to.shoot and kill am unarmed kid. I said a long time back he.was going to.walk. I think .k he.
ia.murderer and I hope his life gets ruined if he walks.

The prosecution had its day. All they have left is cross examinations and a closing argument. And they can't bring up anything in cross that wasn't brought up in direct. It's over.

Hi everyone here! This is my first post on the forum and just joined.

I'm a Zimmerman fanatic although I haven't followed the case for several months. I thought I might read through the posts ITT.

I'm rooting for the Trayvon side btw.

 

[Zona]

Why wasn't Zimmerman tested for drugs?

There is a police conspiracy behind this, imo.

^^^Police conspiracy.

Zimmerman admitted to the shooting. There was no reason to test him for drugs.

What? Oh, you are kidding...
?

I'm probably not the best person to ask that, because I do speak that way. However, negative emotions or offensive is not a depraved mind. Those words don't prove that he had the intent to kill whoever he came across when he walked down that dog path. How many people do you see a day that you don't like? Do you call them a jerk or stupid? Does that mean you are going looking for someone to kill?

So by your statement you think that the prosecution proved any part of it's case today?

Welcome! Regardless of who side you are on, we love to hear your arguments. What do you think is the most important facts of this case?

Zimmerman admitted to the shooting. There was no reason to test him for drugs.

What? Oh, you are kidding...

Oh hell. I thought this was the Jeopardy game thread.

All dead people get a tox with their autopsy.

Heads up

I only saw bits of the trial today and then read some of the transcript from the records. So, I cannot say how the state did today.

George Zimmerman's story has way, way too many holes in it.

To believe it requires too many leaps of logic.

Agreed but he will walk. There is mo.way 6 people will say he.is.guilty. Zimmerman went to college to Learn how to.shoot unarmed.people. he will walk.
