Another thing that bothers me about her testimony is that she stated that she did not know George Zimmerman was not arrested until after she spoke to his father Mid-March. I find that hard to believe with all the media coverage on this case. Even if she did not watch the news, I would think...

IMO I think she embellished her story. An example: She could hear grass sounds over the phone after Trayvon asked why he was being followed? What does grass sound like? Trayvon was waiting for the rain to stop under the mailboxes overhang. If it was raining when he left the store 6:23...

Question: During todays testimony of Dee Dee, witness #8, she stated that she was not his girlfriend but that he did have a girlfriend that used her phone to text Trayvon because his true girlfriend did not have a phone. Did anyone ever interview his true girlfriend? Is it possible that...

Question: Do you think that George Zimmerman was over charged due to all the media pressure? 2nd murder vs manslaughter? Who decided on these charges? The State of Florida's Attorney General? US Justice Department?

Jurors walk into deliberations with their own life experiences. I wonder if he identified himself or someone he knows in this testimony. " what happens to us as children, especially abuse, shapes who we become as adults" Was he verbally abused as a child and then was verbally abuser...

Sadly IMO based on his comments to the media juror 18 connected with AVL and her storyline. I just think he believed a lot of AVL's testimony. Bad Travis and poor JA.

Whatever it is I wish her luck, much success and happiness.

KCL I heard that Beth Karis was leaving HLN since In Sessions is no longer. Is this true? Do you know her plans if this is true. Always loved watching her interpretations of legal issues when I watched In Sessions. So much knowledge provided without all the drama. Will really miss her.

Sorry meant Life Without Parole. Thanks went back an edited.

If the State decided to take the death penalty off the table, are there any sentencing guidelines the judge must abide that could result in life with parole after 25 years?

Just saw a friend of Travis Alexander on HLN. He was describing the hardship the family has endured. To put an end to their torture and JA's continued ability to hurt them, I hope they and the prosecutor decide to take LWOP. The only factor would be if the judge would impose this sentenced...

One thing the mistrial of the mitigation phase may take away is a grounds for appeal. The whole fiasco the DT did last week such as calling for mistrial, no mitigation witnesses and requesting to be taken off the case I would think is void.

Once JA hears that some on the jury believed her abuse stories, it will give her so much glee. Also, no way will she accept a plea of live without parole and no right for appeal. The state of AZ may be force to continue with the DP phase just to make sure she stays in prison for the rest of...

The judicial process is geared toward protecting the rights of the accused. Too bad that more of her behavior could not be admitted as evidence for the jury to see her true nature. That said I think AVL may have played a role in this juror's views in believing her claims of abuse. The...

A lot of factors could have led to the jury foreman to believe JA was verbally abused and even though he did not say physically abused: 1. His age. He may have been offended with the phone sex and the few text messages that contained abusive language. 2. Allowing AVL to restate all of...
