17 year old kid shot dead by Neighborhood Watch "Captain"

[copperhead-1911]

I like lolo jones tweet she had that this "lady" who testified should be called

Medea goes to court.

As far as the threats of "killing crackers"

Hey that attempt in Florida and many states would result in a whole lot less votes for the liberal in 2016. I know I would not let someone kill me. I would be ready to provide a "southern welcome not soon forgotten" when people come to my house trying to harm me or my wife.

Day 5 has begun:

Zimmerman Trial | Live video | Prosecution Witnesses

First witness is a security/camera system IT guy

Edit: Well that was damn pointless... next witness coming in, John Good. He used to live in the neighborhood of the event.

Edit 2: This is it, this is the damning witness I think... Talking about the ground-and-pound that TM dealt to Z.

I just heard the 911 call for the first time... oh my god.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

As an attorney how do you think this case will go?

No clue.

My hope is that it will be directed out.

This fact pattern has every criminal defense attorney lips their lips. Big, slow targets on cross, a very high burden, state witnesses that are less than optimal, and the cops, the flippin' cops, are on your guy's side and physical evidence that your guy was attacked, oh, if only, it is like one of those Depression Era cartoons where the characters are dreaming of food but here I dream of the State's case to rip into.

trial

I have nothing to base this one other than the past history. I think he will get convicted out of fear for riots. And then there will be riots anyway. Or he will be let go. His life is ruined, and he gets killed sometime in the near future. And there are riots anyway.

This fact pattern has every criminal defense attorney licking their lips.

FTFY

Not to mention the probable book deals after he's acquitted, "Counsel for the Defense: My Successful Representation of George Zimmerman."

 

[terrehautian]

If he isn't convicted, sure hopes he gets his firearm back real fast. Hopefully he never has to use it, but that is a real concern with him now.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

The prosecution witnesses have only helped the defense, it's amazing.

Judge: "defense may now call their witnesses..."
Defense: "Haha, no need."

 

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

I remember the OJ case looking like a lock, too. We all know what happened there. This one has the same gut feel to me.

I know how it should go but I'm thinking it won't go as it should...

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Check out the amount of stupid in this:

Why come the women said #Trayvon was on top but this white, conservative- looking man says #Zimmerman was on top? Lying much? #J4TM

 

[CathyInBlue]

Didn't this "white, conservative- looking man" just confirm that the darker albedo person was on top of the lighter albedo person?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Just wait until the cops testify.

I don't think the special prosecutors understand how a veteran detective can torpedo the state's case and PDQ at that.

 

[churchmouse]

I hear the neighbor who saw the incedent shot the state of Florida in the foot today.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Yes, but the detectives to come will be head shots.

 

[churchmouse]

Yes, but the detectives to come will be head shots.

I see your point. But will anybody really listen

 

[45calibre]

even if they dont there is plenty of reasonable doubt.

 

[Bunnykid68]

I see your point. But will anybody really listen

I wasn't listening, what did I miss

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Cops testifying. Said Z's back was wet and covered in grass, injuries to face and back of head.

This trial is over.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

No, the detective has not yet ceremonially shot the round into the head of this monster.

case

I still think he gets convicted

[BigMatt]

I say he gets off and the S hits the F.
