oh the media is flaming the "riot" mentality, what a shcok
OMG!!!!! Is Judge Nelson trying to force GZ to decide now whether or not he plans to testify????? Unreal, IMO!!!!
And some of the testimony was changed in that no actual punches were observed and that it was possible that TM may have been trying to restrain GZ.
IMO
I hate being on the opposite side of a lot the people I like here....but I have to be true to my own conclusions.
Making it a "personal" issue is not helpful, and is wrong on so many levels, so I am going to try and keep personalities out of it. But, debate the points and evidence.
This is the first time I have not been on the side of the prosecution....feels odd to say the least...LOL.
I started at manslaughter....but have moved off that after analyzing and hearing evidence and witnesses.
With all due respect, you are putting words in my mouth.
I never said "drug abuse", and I never said that shooting someone is a side effect. As far as "negative" goes, two charges of violence in GZ's past are pretty negative, IMO.
For the record, I have had a *lot* of personal experience with prescription psychiatric medications, and some experiences are negative, some are positive. It depends on the patient.
Again, IMO.
As you have brought Mr. Geragos into the discussion, I'd just like to say, I find no credibility or merit in his incessant praise of the Defence in every case. He , as Defense attorney of Scott Peterson, assured the world that SP would be found " cold stone innocent" of killing his wife, Laci. We know how that turned out.
wow...this judge
Did she just do that in front of the jury????
They teach you to advocate for your client, whether it's the prosecution or defense. The judge is out of line. The defendant doesn't have to declare if they wish to take the stand until his case in chief is completed. IMOI'm not a lawyer but I will ask, don't they teach you in law school not to p_ss off the judge?!?

ETA: Apologies for the hyperbole. Typically, when I trial watch, I try to remain calm, but Judge Nelson's demeanor has sent me over the edge here.
Thank you for this post Zuri, I enjoyed reading it. You see GZ as using poor judgement. I wonder what stops you from seeing him as a man who shot TM in self-defense? I totally agree that RZ's life is forever changed. MOO
This judge is out of line. He has the right to discuss it with the attorneys and also to not have to know when and if he is testifying as of yet.
The Lawyer is there to protect his client.
UGH.

BBM With all due respect, isn't that what you're doing in your 'translation' of RJ's testimony?
IMO, it shouldn't matter that GZ was following him while he was on the phone. He was still following him. If TM confronted GZ by asking why he was following him that is not a crime, even in the dark at the T (if he did).Because GZ was following him while on the phone with police to help them with location. When TM was right in front of him while on the phone he could have walked up to him and confronted him. IN THE LIGHT and front of the buildings.
He is walking across the T As noted when he gets out of the car after parking and is walking across when the Operator says he does not need to look for him. He says he is walking back across the T and that is when T questions him and hits him. That fits with the events and area of the fight.
I don't know about the Get off get off. I just don't believe for a minute that GZ got the upper hand on TM. He has no rips in the hoodie, No injuries that would have been there from being attacked before the minutes leading up to the final event.
