The state of FL v. George Zimmerman

[Cylinder]

Back on topic, I was following Ms. Jeantel until she was hiding in the closet, lying about how Martin confronted Zimmerman.

Wut?

Wut?

Err...yea.

She said she was hiding in the closet when she gave the phone interview with Mr. Crump and in that interview she lied when she asserted Martin confronted Zimmerman.

That was very strange. She's more credible than I originally thought but there are some obvious problems here.

Bernie would like to continue the questioning. West says he needs a few additional hours.
Ms. Jeantel seems displeased when she hears this.
Court in recess, continued at 9:00 AM in the morning.

Whatever side you are on Ms Jeantel is hard work! I think it is a shame she does not have more respect for the legal process.

I would just like to make note that one of the witnesses said the very same thing as Zimmerman. Given the weather, she thought it was weird to hear people outside.

Yup. I think there are 3 of those statements in the police reports. It was discussed in the other thread.

I think that would be the fault of the prosecution. They should have prepared her better to understand the process and the fact that she would be challenged by defense lawyers.

I believe that the prosecution is limited in what they can do with a witness or else it becomes tampering or coaching.

They probably should have had her open with a knock-knock joke.

 

[KatieG]

She was told before she left court not to talk to any of the attorneys.

When Don West read back her own deposition to her, he ended it with something very close to this:

"It could've been Trayvon... but you know it's not."

Someone help me out here if I misheard this or misunderstood this. Pretty big if she said that.

Judge Nelson ruled that Zimmerman's previous NEN calls can come in as evidence.

Good - If we had someome locally that called 911 for service that many times, they'd be on the crank list.

NEN stands for non-emergency number.

You're falling for a meme. Zimmerman called for service 5 times in the last 6 months in a neighborhood that is undisputed to have a worsening crime problem. In fact, Wendy Dorival who is the SPD NW coordinator reviewed his calls and asserted that the behaviors he describe were the behaviors that SPD wanted reported. Sean, the NEN dispatcher that took his call, agreed.

Your quote is accurate.



18:00 is a good-enough start. Audio doesn't sych well.

 

[Cylinder]

16:00 is the first dust up about continuing testimony of Thursday. The second is near the end of the video directly before the jury was released for the day.

 

[Bob001]

Your quote is accurate.

In the context, it sounds like she was saying to the questioner "You know it's not" to mean "You believe it's not," or "You think it's not." She's already said that she herself isn't sure it's Trayvon, but that it could be. She's pretty clearly not the most articulate person in the world, but I don't think she was telling the questioner that he's right.

It was drizzling, not raining heavily. He was also wearing a hoodie and talking on his cell phone to a female friend.

Interestingly, Sudyka also stated several times that the rainfall at the time was quite heavy–’buckets of rain” was the phrase she used, so intense that she needed to close a window to prevent rain from entering her home.
