The defense team has objected to the evidence being allowed on Tuesday afternoon, saying it is "irrelevant. Prosecutors have highlighted a Zimmerman interview with Fox News last year in which he claimed he had no knowledge of the stand your ground law before he killed Martin. The defense though has called their attempts "unfair" and "inappropriate": "It's not like they're trying to introduce that he took a humanities case or sixth grade geography class, it's specific.
They're allowed to present evidence on their theory of the case just as the defense is allowed to cross examine the witness based on your theory of the case," the defense attorney said on Tuesday afternoon. The trial continues on Wednesday and all the coverage can be watched online through free live stream via the video player below:.

Can it get any smarmier than this? And another thing, though it is not something related to the trial. It is just something that crossed my mind. She indicated that she had experience in examining live patients and the example she gave was being involved in investigating and documenting cases of potential police brutality. I just wondered how she would have classified the injuries to Zimmerman had he been hypothetically involved in a police brutality claim and she was called in for an assessment.
Based just on these photos of his wounds, one wonders if she would have agreed that an investigation into potential brutality would be warranted. My concern is that these people are legally able to vote, and even worse, many will be called to serve on a jury. Is there anything that can be done to ensure that the people who have clearly demonstrated that their emotion and bias trumps fact, logic, legal precedence or the inability to discern the difference will not be allowed to serve on a jury in the future?
What good is our legal system when potential jurors are incapable or unwilling to discern fact from fiction? But waterboarding is one of those things you can talk your way out of. An assault by a bigoted gangsta wannabe, not so much. It depends on whether or not you had studied psychology and done any homework assignments on anxiety.
As this evidence may be later used against you in a court of law. Willis Show Bar! Next thoughts would be defensive assets, that he may now have to use his weapon, also a horrifying option when in such close quarters losing control of your weapon to your opponent is a real danger.
Makes sense to me. Zimmerman is toast. Their primary theory is that GZ weaved a web of lies, and they believe that one of the biggest lies GZ told was about the severity of the beating he took from TM.
The state is not attacking his self defense claim, at least not directly. If he lied about, or at best severely exaggerated, his injuries, you can assume that he lied about everything else, including his claim that he shot TM because he was in fear for this life.
Drip one lie , drip another lie , drip another lie ….. Although Mr. The tragedy occurred because you had two aggressive personalities. Under Florida law, Zimmerman cannot be found guilty if he was not the initial aggressor.
FL Selective reading skills? I suspect it was an issue of a significantly diminished attention span. He just forgot what he was doing while reading the statute, got up to get a twinkie and forgot to finish. Is that reaching and speculation?
Heck, why not? They required only bandaids. They were not an attempt at murder. Kiddie table is over thataway. You remember what happened last time. Have you ever had your nose broken? If you are bashing the right sort of persons head, using the planet as a weapon, the planet likes it and thanks you. Sounds like the kind of conversation that started between Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman and ended in murder.
My defense is to step away. Which is what GZ was trying to do when TM suckerpunched him and started the assault. TM thought GZ was easy pickings. Whether he caused serious injury or not is irrelevant for this debate. If I point a gun at you, would you be able to shoot me to defend yourself, or do you think you would be required to wait until I shot you first before you could defend yourself? Or what if I shot you first, but only grazed your arm?
The questions to be considered are whether the weapon I used was CAPABLE of causing serious injury or worse, and whether or not you believed at the time that you were in danger of death or serious bodily harm, even if that belief turned out to be incorrect, it only needs to be a reasonable belief. Question: Is there anything illegal about this tweet? RT this.
He gone learn today. Does that constitute a threat? Still, if something happened to GZ or his family or pets or property, it would be interesting to have this list of accounts who tweeted the threat to furnish to the investigators. Interesting question, liz. Would it get you a visit from the Secret Service if directed against Pres. I kinda think it would. Some people are the lowest form of coward. There are lots of them that are twitter-literate.
I wonder about a correlation. Obviously, whoever it is ought to arm themselves. Naturally, anybody can be killed. But with appropriate preparation just about anyone can make an effort to take their life a darned tough, and very costly, enterprise. The prosecution and the judge just sandbagged the defense with those charges.
How was the defense to know DURING the trial that these charges would be added so they could ask the right questions regarding the case? Why did we have a trial? Let him judge the mind set of criminals. His clairvoyance is amazing.
Where has he been all these years. Prosecutor wants to know where the bood was on Zimmerman? He probably thinks the Fla. More Sharing Options. Could be an integrity issue — i. Low bar there. As she testifies on cross to her ties with Corey, I concede.
Agree completely. Quibbling over words is not helping her with the jury. Pretty easy. Zimmerman, did she not? Zimmerman, have you? So what? Finding a testifying whore, conversely, is really easy.
So what does that tell us about the State here…??? Not remotely. The law does not require injuries to justify the use of deadly force in self defense. And being smothered while drowning in his own blood. Care to try again, troll? See, moron…??? Now, if only you had to something to add on the topic at hand…. Even the clown on channel 9 admitted he thought she was hand-picked by the state. When you promise the jury something that proves untrue, you are screwed. The doctor seems to have complaints where ever she goes.
Comment Two important points were missed in the cross exam of Dr. But very interesting about Dr. Rao who just testified. Wow, they are now going after him because he has some education. When you go to Kangaroo Court, you have to learn to hop. God forbid citizens be educated about the law. What would we need lawyers for? Actually, it was ever thus. Unless I misunderstood the judge, she said as much in her initial response to the proffer.
Crump and Corey will get their chance to testify in full in civil court…as defendants. Well then. I just sat up and took notice. That story was shown in Australia. They showed the police officer killing the guy. No second guesses as to racial make-up of the guy. Any common criminal knows how to make up a plausible story, based on self-defense. It makes for a closing segment that just about writes itself.
I cannot feel sorry for such a sack of dog doo-doo. Thank you for the reference of his past history. I will do some reading on that case. The Wreak of the hesperus had to take a time out….
You are performing a valuable service Henry. Carry on. Florida public officials seem to be a pretty sad lot.
Typical government worker. Nobody else would tolerate an employee like that. As to the last, only if he wants to be laughed out of court. That is solid nutter-land stuff. Horton, is that you? Or Herpes? Good read. He should of waited until he had a concussion!
Maybe you could find that for us? However, Zimmerman's defense team has claimed that Martin attacked him and had punched and smashed his head into the concrete floor. He claims he acted in self-defense, only shooting Martin when the teenager went for his gun.
