The Zimmerman Trial

reply to post by EnhancedInterrogator


haha, i agree that would increase the level of intertainment significant

And what was that about with the girl jantal, how can he highlight a witness that obvious lied and then call her too stupid to lie? think hes on thin ground.

So these 4 flashlights I have at home... are considered contraband now?

Only if they are "high-capacity" flashlights, or your waiting period isn't over.

I would get rid of 3 of them instantly, special forces moved out as soon you hit enter

The prosecutors making alot of silly points, i relly dont get him at all, they must know they are on the edge of defeat. Cant wait to hear O*Maras closing, that gonna be a hard one to get arround for a jury.

"Juror B29 won't make eye contact with prosecutor"
Thats being reported from reporters in the court room.
Another juror is sitting with her head on her hand.
Talking heads all say ... that's a bad sign for the prosecution.

(I don't think I could look at him in the eye without laughing either.)

On the feed I am watching the expert lawyer guy they are using said that the States closing argument so far is very poor and they are going to come back in a minute with factual errors that the prosecutor used in his argument.

Instant live vote .. how is the prosecution doing so far with closing?

%70 say 'poorly'

Good luck with that, there are many lol

tin foil hat time......any one else think the state has to almost be throwing the case for them to be doing this bad of a job,i mean if the reports of what the jurors are doing and how they are evidently reacting to the states closing....could they be intentional throwing it? i mean what else would make sense at this point.....


foil hat off,either that or this is seriously the best example of how bad legal counsel can completely tank any case regardless of public opinion

i guess this is what it must have been like watching the titanic sinking,slowly going from bad to worse but it just wont end quite yet so ya just end up staring awestruck at the catastrophe that we are all watching

dammit stepped away from the computer for 5 minutes and all I see is the florida state seal again? Are they done for the day?

People's memory are odd things, particularly when involved in a life altering event. Some portions of that event will stand out clear as day, while other parts may be as murky or virtually non-existent.

To imply what you have, while containing some possible validity, is extremely biased. Six people can witness one event, not being participants, and there will be 6 different variations of the event, all matching in many ways, but all containing their own particular variations. The participant will have yet another variation...this has been demonstrated time and again in carefully controlled environments.

Remember: innocent until proven guilty beyond any reasonable doubt.

if that's the case why believe any part of george's testimony??????????????????????????? so u throw his inconsistent statements out the window because of "amnesia" yet believe every other part of his testimony??

##snipped##

In case you didn't get it, my point was that memory is imperfect, in fact a lot more imperfect than most people realize. Therefore there will ALWAYS be inconsistencies and by definition this doesn't mean that someone is lying.

I provided a generalized statement regarding how a number of people can witness the same event and yet have slightly varying descriptions of the event. Do you not believe this to be true?

This applies to everyone, not just GZ...and no, I did not suggest that his testimony should be thrown out the window, any more than I would believe verbatim everything said. What part of that cannot be understood? That applies to any visual witness accounts, anywhere, anytime. Some people's accounts may likely be more trustworthy than others due to training or knowledge. For instance, if I witnessed an event that occurred in a plant or industry I was very familiar with my perceptions could be vastly different from someone who had no experience whatsoever in that industry.

If I were the prosecution, would I try to exploit those inconsistencies? Heck yeah... Do the inconsistencies mean that GZ is intentionally lying? Maybe, maybe not.

Do you understand my point now?

No ... 1/2 way done with closing statement from the prosecution.
You missed the prosecution pulling the MLK card.
I have a dream .... (wow .. pandering ... race reminder where it doesn't belong)

Did anyone notice the lie (at least I am pretty certain it was a lie) the prosecution told?

He said Rachel Jeantel said the defendent confronted Martin, but I am 100 percent sure she said Martin confronted Zimmerman asking why he was following.

Word around the water fountain is... The slide is all the rage when out to recess. Just a little FYI

MOTF!

Ok, it's prediction time:

How long for the jury to return a verdict: 0-5 days

Verdict returned, by chance:

• Hung jury: 3%
  
• Not guilty: 60%
  
• Guilty, manslaughter: 30%
  
• Guilty, murder-2: 2%
  
• Other (trial disrupted by man-made or natural catastrophe, or alien invasion/zombie plague, etc.): 5%

How many of the jurors are black? Anyone? And No I'm not racist just because I said black.

He's told a bunch .... but yes, Jeantel said that Martin confronted Zimmerman and said 'why are you following me'. You caught it correctly (according to my memory of all this).
