Re: George Zimmerman Trial
The only possible way I see it is if the jury doesn't realizes that following someone is not a crime. And buys the theory that saying "these fucking punks", these assholes" etc. shows ill will or spite and justifies 2nd degree murder, but then how do oyu get away from self-defense?

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
The prosecution got a good win today. They made the defense self defense expert look shaky, IMO.
Still think this *should* be a slam dunk for the defense. They're forensic expert was devastating to the prosecution.

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
Anyone think Zimmerman is going to testify?
It seems to me he wants to! But it looks like his attorne's are saying not to, and who can blame them?

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
well seeing as his little trip around the media before the trial is where a lot of the discrepancies in his story are coming from i can definitely see why they wouldnt want him to start talking again. Im sure hell do the rounds again after the verdict... if hes not in jail.

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
So HR. You may know, or ask Mrs, HR. Why are people talking about a mistrial here?

Are they assuming that the judge was asking in front of the jury or something?

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
Just asked the wife.
If the jury was present, that's a HUGE botch on the judges part. The defense is right, he does have an absolute right to remain silent.
This could be cause for a mistrial on appeal. She isn't going to declare a mistrial herself.

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
It doesn't appear as if the jury was present. So unless there is some other issue (her asking before the trial was over) I don't know why people were saying that.
I was watching Fox tonight (something I haven't done since election night) because I knew they'd be talking about it. It appears the prosecution is looking to have the jury consider lesser charges. May mean nothing, or could mean the fell none too good about it, I think the forensic expert blew every theory they had apart.

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
If in the 11th hour, a prosecutor is seeking lesser charges, it means they're not confident they're going to get a conviction on the charges before the court now.
If he's found not guilty, they cannot come back and charge him with anything so they have to try and amend the charge or offer up the lesser charge now.
