The prosecutor cursed and the defense attorney told a joke as both sides laid out opening arguments in the murder trial of George Zimmerman, the man who killed Florida teen Trayvon Martin in what his lawyers say was self-defense and authorities say was a case of fatal profiling.
The all-female jury of six took in both unconventional statements, alternately stunned, taking notes and at times appearing to nod in agreement. Jaws in the jury box dropped when prosecutor John Guy electrified the courtroom with a short, but profanity-laced and impassioned argument that sought to paint the defendant as an angry and out-of-control vigilante who was stalking Martin when he shot the teen in the gated community in Sanford, where he lived.
“F---ing punks,” prosecutor John Guy said in open court, quoting Zimmerman's own words to a non-emergency police dispatcher. “These a--holes, they always get away.”
The language -- rare for open court -- appeared to stun the six female jurors who must decide whether Zimmerman shot and killed the 17-year-old African-American teen in self defense, or if he stalked the youth and provoked the deadly confrontation.
“Those were the words in that grown man’s mouth as he followed, in the dark, a 17-year-old boy who he didn’t know,” continued Guy, as jurors in the Florida courtroom listened intently, some taking notes. “And excuse my language, but those were his words, not mine.”

It sure takes the intended punch out of an opening statement when the judge sustains objection after objection. Has West ever given opening statements in his career? He’s not doing GZ any favors.
We have to wonder. Although this judge definitely seems hostile to the defense. So much of this stuff is subject to her discretion.
Her demeanor in addressing the question of fairness with respect to GZ’s parents being in the courtroom told me all I need to know about her sympathies.
If it weren't for the f bomb a lot of people would starve.
Pull up to Mc D's, curse at the clown, throw money in the window, get food.
Just like lab rats.
It’s “Ignant”...sheesh!
Zimmerman should fire West. The jury would respect him for it.
I hope and pray you are right!
It is Politically Incorrect to hope for a fair trial — for starters, it should never have got to trial.
HST, it was Politically Correct to indict Zimmerman.
