This judge definitely deserves some Al Pacino lawyer to yell "No, YOU'RE out of order!"

Probably because people got screenshots of their social networking pages before they were scrubbed. I read that they were scrubbed of negative statements and profanity, NOT that 'white supremicists' hacked the pages. That's just wishful thinking on the part of some anti-Zimmerman peeps. IMO

IMO This ME should never be an expert witness again. He might be a great ME, but as an expert witness testifying at trial, he's dreadful.

OT Is that handsome dude in your avatar your Dad?

Bingo. He's been overcharged in the matter. Manslaughter is far closer to his error than Murder2. TM made errors and he lost his life. GZ made errors and should've been charged with something other than murder. He needs to pay for his errors, certainly, but not for something he did not do...

IMO it's the whole Emperor's New Clothes thing. They seem to think if they report it a certain way, we'll believe them despite the fact that we actually watched the testimony and KNOW it wasn't how they are reporting. They've reported on this case this way from the very beginning, with a...

Not made public, but certainly given to both party's attorneys. If he is TESTIFYING he cannot read from something not admitted into evidence.

If I killed someone because I thought I was in danger of death or serious bodily injury, and found myself charged with Murder 2, I would have to raise funds for a good lawyer because I don't have the disposable income to hire an expensive (good) lawyer. Does this make me more or less guilty...

What is your point?

Which is why I said I hoped I had the presence of mind to do so. I usually have my cell phone in my hand, so that wouldn't take much behavior modification. Even if I dropped the phone, it would record sounds. My point is, that even IF the entire thing was recorded on video, people would STILL...

If I ever am attacked and in fear of my life, hopefully I'll have the presence of mind to use my cell phone video feature, so if I kill someone in self-defense, the events will be recorded so no one can claim to know my thoughts and actions. But they still will.

It doesn't matter at all if WE don't think he would've been murdered, it only matters what he thought. Do you think he knew he would not have been murdered or suffered 'serious bodily harm'? I think the law doesn't require the person to think they were about to be murdered, but rather the fear...

That was a long period of yelling imo.

From Dee-Dee's testimony, I now think TM held racist thoughts.

I get your meaning but I did not create this world, in fact, I'm fighting it tooth and nail through my own children. None of their peer's parents want to join me in the battle though:( Pop culture created this swamp.

bbm I saw a photo that showed TM about two body rolls away from the sidewalk.

That is one of my favorite quotes from the movie. I do think it's important for us to realize that none of us are GZ or TM, and we will never know what they were thinking in the moment. Not even GZ can recall EXACTLY what he was thinking, and while you and I and others can say what WE would...

It's not a secret that this trial is politically explosive, with a familiar narrative. This judge is concerned not just with following judicial procedure to ensure a fair trial for a defendant, but she has a reasonable fear that if he is found not guilty, there will be negative social...

I'm sorry, I was responding to a post you made where you said 'Wrong' in response to another poster stating that what you said is not what GZ was told by the 911 dispatcher. I stated that on the stand this dispatcher stated unequivocally that they are instructed not to give commands. 'Don't...

Is that the verbage you heard on the 911 call?
