11021. vonKreedon - 7/9/2013 3:01:49 AM OTOH, your point about "stand your ground" being in the wind is right and so you may be right that this would've bubbled up even if routine. 11022. arkymalarky - 7/9/2013 3:46:11 AM this was sliding by until his parents looked to the public for pressure to have an investigation. Until then it was being dropped. 11023. vonKreedon - 7/9/2013 4:28:28 AM Yep.
11024. judithathome - 7/9/2013 5:07:29 AM Well...had it been my son who was shot to death, I think I'd have done the same thing. 11025. iiibbb - 7/9/2013 11:47:05 AM Zimmerman's non-racist non-murder aside... the police department acted deplorably.. and pretty racist. 11026. judithathome - 7/9/2013 5:43:12 PM So now the defense is trying to bring in an animated film of Zimmerman's version of what happened. When George gets off, he will be in debt for the rest of his life.
I think this trial is going to be one big AD for the defense team...
11027. arkymalarky - 7/9/2013 6:01:38 PM I'm with Judith. I was very impressed with Martin's parents, who are divorced but of one mind in their efforts to get his death investigated. 11028. judithathome - 7/9/2013 6:05:41 PM I'm watching this on tape...anyone know if the judge allowed the re-created video in? 11029. judithathome - 7/9/2013 6:08:34 PM Yesterday when Rick Perry made his non-announcement and said "The time has come......." with that long pause, I expected him to add "...the walrus said..." 11030. robertjayb - 7/9/2013 6:16:17 PM Not as yet, judith. I think the THC levels are in but no decision on the animation. Typed by me at 12:15 p.m. ????? 11031. judithathome - 7/9/2013 7:16:31 PM The judge has delayed her decision until after today's business...
I don't see how prosecution missed having a THC expert testify...they've practically made the case for the defense otherwise. (sarcasm) 11032. judithathome - 7/10/2013 7:19:57 PM Animation is out but not before the defense and prosecution almost came to blows after the judge left the dais last night.
11033. vonKreedon - 7/10/2013 7:35:11 PM I wonder if either of them are packing heat. 11034. robertjayb - 7/10/2013 10:26:26 PM Zimmerman will not testify. Smart. 11035. judithathome - 7/10/2013 10:31:41 PM Why should he? He knows he's won. 11036. anomie - 7/11/2013 12:02:36 AM Sad day for justice and proof beyond a reasonable doubt. I predict a conviction. 11037. vonKreedon - 7/11/2013 1:10:33 AM Why do you predict a conviction? I'll be stunned if he's even convicted of manslaughter. 11038. anomie - 7/11/2013 1:24:43 AM Mainly because Zimmerman is not very likable and evryone seems to be clammering for revenge. It seems Martin is getting the benifit of the doubt rather than the accused. I can't think of a time when I have disagreed with Judith or Arky on anything, but even they seem ready to convict. Let's pole them now since the trial is mostly over. How say you Judith, Arky? Guilty or not? How would you actually vote if you were a juror. 11039. arkymalarky - 7/11/2013 4:23:11 AM Guilty of manslaughter, absolutely. Z is a despicable man and I say that only looking at what he actually did. If Z's action is allowed to stand without legal consequence it sets a bad precedence for future murderous confrontations and dramatically lowers the bar for when it's legally acceptable to shoot someone. I'm amazed at your inability to get that. 11040. arkymalarky - 7/11/2013 4:24:02 AM -dent
