Your post made me curious about something. I'm not familiar with ME parlance, so I wonder what exactly (and technically) "directly front to back" means. I don't know whether that refers to the bullet traveling straight from front to back in precise perpendicular fashion (in relation to the...

To be fair, a debit or credit card number can be stolen at any point of sale - from restaurants to Walmart to online shopping. So I'll accept that their number was stolen at some point in time and they didn't know until the bank notified them. But I won't accept that someone was trying to...

Welcome to WS, yupikgirl! :welcome:

Both Ron and Mike Brooks calling BS on this "new" tidbit on JVM.

Maybe a deliberate attempt by someone to misdirect the investigation?

It really rubbed me the wrong way to see DB acting so indignant and declaring they would never stop til Lisa was home. Never stop what? Other than Dr. Phil, how many media appearances have they made to keep Lisa in the public eye the past six months? I would never say too little, too late for...

DeAnn, any musings among the local press that a shoe (or at least a sock) might be about to drop? Thanks! :seeya:

I caught that, too. I guess one of them misspoke. :angel:

Papa, would the following factors make a difference? The length of each person's torso (not just their height); the arm-length of the person on bottom; how far forward or back the person on top is sitting; and the degree of forward lean of the person on top. Thanks so much for all your hard work!

Thanks, Sensei. Do you happen to know whether the testing would be mandatory or whether it's done only when LE has a suspicion of intoxication?

I'm wondering, since Zimmerman was handcuffed and taken to the PD for custodial interrogation, whether the same rules that apply for a tox screen in the case of formal arrest would apply in his situation. If so, it might be easier for us to research and pin it down.

Does anyone know whether it is SOP to run a tox screen when someone is actually arrested unless they appear to the officer to be intoxicated? Does it depend on what the charge is? Does the officer also have to have reasonable suspicion that the arrested person is intoxicated? I have no idea how...

I agree that the defense will likely be the ones to introduce the report in trial. Just saying I think if the state was in possession of it prior to the defense's turning their discovery over, it has to be included as part of the state's discovery file. That's just my opinion, though. I bet one...

I think the point is that IF the state is in possession of the document (as in, if they subpoenaed it or GZ gave consent for its release to them), it must be included in their discovery. JMO.

I disagree, Doc. I think anything they receive has to be documented and included, not just what they want to use at trial. I can't imagine the defense sending something to the state because the defense wants the state to include it in discovery - there's never a need for that since the defense...

If Zimmerman gave a copy of his doctor's report or had his doctor fax/mail it to LE or the SA, it is part of the state's discovery. If the state subpoenaed his records, it is included in discovery. If the state does not have it by some means by now, I'd be shocked - I imagine that was likely...

According to this sound guy, there was a 30-ish second period of time that TM was begging and screaming for help. Since he was on top of GZ, the only way I can see him screaming for help is if they were struggling over the gun. (It would be kinda hard for the guy on bottom to be beating up the...

I think that's a plausible theory if the state wants to claim the injury wasn't from a punch, but I doubt they could actually prove it since it doesn't necessarily have to be either/or. Regardless the truth, the defense could always claim that both things occurred - punch to the nose and...

When the claim was first made that she'd tried to call police and her call hadn't been returned, I remember reading that a spokesperson for either the city or PD said they had no record of her having called, but that perhaps she'd called a different agency. I do not have a link (sorry), but...

Given the ambiguity (or even potential pro-defense interpretation) of much of the evidence in yesterday's doc dump, I think the alleged inconsistencies in his statements must be the biggest factor in charging him with second degree murder. Depending on whether there are major or minor...
