3rdnlng Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) The problem here being that, now that we have court testimony, it's NOT just Zimmerman's version of events. Prosecution testimony backs it up - Jeantel specifically testified that Martin told her he was by his father's house, thus would have had to make that right turn Zimmerman mentioned, and would have had to walk a couple hundred yards and backtrack. Therein lies the problem with this whole prosecution - their case rests upon a story that their own evidence doesn't support. The worst judgement against Zimmerman the evidence supports is that he's a knucklehead, which might get involuntary manslaughter, but isn't even close to the standard for murder 2 or the prosecution's story of "slavering racist hunting down black kid." You almost wonder if that's the plan...she doesn't want to be responsible for an acquittal, and would rather let the appellate judges get the death threats. The aerial I posted was devoid of times, but went by the testimony of GZ, RJ and the NEN tape. It wasn't perfect, but showed that TM came back not only looking for a fight but that GZ had stayed in a very small area observing TM. lyrbob is a total ass. Early on in this thread he repeated the false claim that GZ called TM a !@#$ing coon. He falsely claimed that GZ kept a round in the chamber but refused to keep the safety on. He doesn't understand the weapon GZ had on him, or he couldn't make that claim. It's just like other claims he's made in the past and refuses to back up. What's really unique about him though is that he uses other peoples work and won't acknowledge it. He does it in a subtle way though. Most articles start out with a summary (I know, that sounds weird) and then proceed to the "meat". He doesn't put the summary in quotation marks but does with the "meat". Then he refuses to link to the article so he won't be discovered. That's our lyrbob, disingenuous to the end. . Edited July 10, 2013 by 3rdnlng
bbb Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Updated info on hearing tonight... http://legalinsurrec...ghtime-hearing/ you sick sick man... But, seriously - how can she can on and on about what he's been eating behind bars - she had a calorie count and she's yelling out stuff like jelly doughnut! First she said it was 2500 calories a day, then it was 10,000............And, it was some astronomical number over the course of this year that he has been behind bars................But, he hasn't been behind bars! Walter Cronkite is spinning in his grave.
reddogblitz Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I can't believe how long they went on and on about that stupid video. Personally I think these computer re enactment things are dumb and should not be allowed as evidence in ANY trial. It's like the judge telling the jury to disregard that Chris said he believed George's story. Once the jury sees this thing they'll think it's real and factual and it will leave an indelible mark in their heads. A lot of people think that computers are impartial and don't lie. However a computer does exactly what you tell it. If you tell it to lie, it lies, or leaves stuff, or shades stuff to your side, or whatever. As we say in the industry, Garbage in, garbage out (GIGO). If the state wants to win, they should let Mantei handle all arguments and cross examinations. The lead guy comes off as condescending and sarcastic and talks down to witnesses. Just let him do objections and research and stuff. Mantei is a pit bull, but comes off a lot smoother and believable and likable. The way he went after that computer geek was impressive. He kept going at him until he said that the second image of the the position with Trayvon on George's legs was based on "common sense". Then he also got him to say he talked to John Goode even though John was sequestered. That's illegal. I thought she was going to throw it out right there. The case is going to come down to what the jury believes. There has been a lot of BS thrown down on both sides. George's story doesn't add up, Jentel lied under oath once, can you believe her?. George's MOm, Uncle, and all of his friends say it was Georgie on the tape, Trayvon's Mom, Dad, and brother said it was Trayvon. The judge will instruct them that they can believe all of a witnesses testimony, some of it, or none of it. It will come down on who they believe. One side or the other proving their case will depend on who the jury believes.

According to George he hung up and was headed back to his car which appears on the re enactment video to be a short distance when Trayvon jumped him. Doesn't add up. Thanks for posting this timeline. Speaks volumes,

boyst Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) The judge must allow the cell phone messages. Their is a prior ruling in appeals that allowed the records of anpther case where the state introduced records because they were on the defendents phone. That with weigh huge. Because of that I expect her to rule against the video. Can't give the defense too strong of a case.... Edit: grammar Edited July 10, 2013 by jboyst62

Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids! Judge rules against both texts AND video. Which is what I expected, given the history.

I truly wonder what it will be like for the jurors to get out and hear about all the evidence not provided. I wonder what it will weigh in their beliefs post verdict.
Nanker Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 They may yet get to hear testimony that he was a thug who liked to get into fights - lots of fights, make people's noses bleed, gloried in violence, smoked dope, was a dope, provoked fights.

Were the 911 call time stamps the ones generated by the police when the call came in on their clock, or were they based upon GZ's cell phone company records? Was TM's call to the ghettopotomus based on his cell phone time stamps, or hers? What is the standard clock used to verify that the timeline is 100% accurate?

B-Man Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 The texting establishes the mental state of the attacker. The denial that this is evidence establishes the mental state of Judge Nelson. If GZ is found guilty he will certainly get a mulligan.................Reversible error plain and simple the defense had the cell phone hidden from them until June 2 by the prosecutors
Nanker Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Which the Persecution had since January. The texting in addition to the photos on his cell phone is indicative of Travon Obama's mental state.
Donald Duck Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Lack of physical prowess makes Zimmermans actions seem even more negligent in my opinion because it increases the chance of getting into an altercation with no way to defend himself except with the use of a deadly firearm.
boyst Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Until this morning I thought John Guy to be.a better litigator then BDRL. Wow was I wrong. He is steering this right at the Defenses case at full speed without a seat belt. I find it hilarious the dumby used on the bottom is a black one. Yeah. That's not misleading. Everything this witness is saying is just another check mark to the defense narrative. Guy is crashing their own case
dayman Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 What is the texting issue? Someone sum it up in at work. ...also jboys how did you go 10 years without seeing the bills?
Nanker Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 There are thousands of texts on TM's phone and lots of photos. The Defense found out about them on June 2. The Prosecution had information about them in January and did not divulge that information to the Defense during "discovery". The Judge will not allow the text and photos on TM's phone to be admitted into evidence because, "there's no proof that he was the one that texted them and someone else could have the password to his phone." This is grounds for appeal apparently because of existing Florida case precedent. The texts that the Defense want admitted as evidence concerns starting fights, bloodying people's noses, wanting to own a handgun among other things that show TM's proclivity in the Defense's eyes to be an in-your-face punk who was the aggressor in this altercation.
