Continuation: Discussion of the George Zimmerman case

[Rare Truth]

In recess. Wonder how long it will take.

Why is the 7/11 coming up in the bond hearing?

Unfortunately I can't follow the hearing, so I appreciate the reports from you folks.

MOM introduced three photos from 7/11 in order to "demonstrate his size and the way he looked".

Bernie countered that it was a great photo, since it encapsulated what the case is about: namely, the idea that looking at a black kid wearing a hoodie should be seen as dangerous.

I thought it was effective, and MOM felt he needed to address it again after that.

My quote of someone claiming GZ will testify make plenty of sense in the context that GZ did not actually testify. I don't understand how this is confusing or controversial.

Yeah you would have a point if it wasn't for the O'Mara trying to get Z to be able to testify without cross hilariousness.

It was the judge who said "it would be important" for George to speak in his own defense on this. We'll see how much he meant that.

MOM crossed the Rubicon.

To paraphrase, the events were of Trayvon Martin's doing.

Wait, did I miss it? TPM says no ruling today. But are they just in recess, or did he say he wouldn't rule at all today?

Yeah, if you want to dismiss the sentence that comes immediately after that.

"Now, of course he doesn't HAVE to testify...but when the judge tells him: it's important he testify, that pretty much sets up the dynamic. Yep. It is sure to be an explosive Zimmerific day."

The dynamic being, if he doesn't, that weighs damn heavily on the judges decision. Duh/

Your attempts at gotcha's fail so pitifully, so often.

Unfortunately I can't follow the hearing, so I appreciate the reports from you folks.

In a rather hilarious rant the prosecutor started complaining about some picture that had come into evidence that showed TM in a hoodie and then spoke about how the 7-11 clerk had treated TM like a human being as opposed to a criminal just because he was wearing a hoodie. It was just a bizarre side rant that had 0 relevance other than attempting to inflame.

FYI the prosecutor also made it clear they are going with the theory that GZ chased down and tried to detain TM. So that is the theory on which they are going to base their case.

What else would you expect him to say in a self-defense case?

Did MOM introduce the photos first? I thought he only spoke about those images being the most recent ones of TM after the prosecutor had talked about the 7/11 clerk, but I could be misremembering. I know he addressed it afterwards but I don't recall him mentioning them before.

Yes, the 7/11 photos were handed over by MOM, with no apparent explanation until later.

OK thanks, so he didn't actually talk about them before. I didn't think so but my feed cut out for a short time so I wasn't sure.

Did you catch whether or not the judge said when he'd rule on a new bond?

OK so your two posts so far commenting on the hearing are focused on the prosecution. I wonder why.

Did the prosecution actually say this?

LIVE: Prosecutor making summation, says he's not trying case today, but would like that because ‪#GeorgeZimmerman‬ would have to take stand.

No.

I hope the recess is just that, for this hearing - and not back to normal, regular court business.

Didn't you watch?

He said it though. Before, MOM was very careful about language and promoting comity.
