Day 12 (Week #3) Zimmerman Trial – Witness Discussion Thread

The Conservative Treehouse ^ | June 25, 2013 | Sundance

[Uncle Chip]

Today, June 25th, is DAY #12 (of 3rd week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case. An explosive first day of opening statements and witnesses took place yesterday.

[yesterday] saw the completion of opening statements and the launch of the State’s case, with four of the State’s witnesses being brought to the stand. In a nutshell, I thought the defense did a far superior job in cross-examination than the State did on direct, with it’s own witnesses, which does not bode well for the State’s prospects in this case. Here’s the play-by-play – CLICK HERE

[Uncle Chip]

Possibly today the state will put their Witness 8 on the stand in hopes that she can continue the charade. Will she be able to pull it off???

i still can’t get the obtusity of the defense starting out by insulting the intelligence of the jury with that stupid knock knock joke. how are you gonna get on their good side with lines like that?

Benjamin Crump found his way to Anderson Cooper after being kicked out of the courtroom yesterday:

http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2013/06/25/crump-trying-to-thread-the-needle-with-a-grapefruit/

Benjamin Crump on AC360 last night. Anderson Cooper asks him a question about “Dee Dee” (whom everyone assumes is witness #8) and his involvement in finding her – Watch Crump strategically parse words to deflect the “media evidence” onto the phone records.

Dee Dee (16 year old, hospitalized, minor child, with extremely concerned parents) becomes known as a phone number. A phone number is not a person.

If the ownership of the phone number is changed, Dee Dee can evolve, and the phone number owner can, presto, become 18-year-old, non hospitalized, Witness #8 Rachel Jeantel.

Hence Dee Dee and Witness #8 become one person so long as no media team asks why she was described as 16, and hospitalized etc. No-one has ever demanded he reconcile the description.

Watch. He is very careful to choose his words and avoid direct answering of any questions around “Dee Dee” / Witness #8 “Rachel Jeantel“.

…..And this “Rachel Jeantel” has about as much a chance of being Trayvon’s “girlfriend” as Ray Charles shooting skeet.

You wouldn't know it by reading the Bangor Daily News in Maine!!!!.....completely slanted and with the obligatory pic of “12 yr old” Trayvon....

I expect that's the meme of most News Spreaders this morning...got to convince the low info voter Z is guilty so there's something to riot about should Justice prevail..

[Uncle Chip]

Juror B29 got it and thought it was funny.

[MNDude]

Agreed! It was so horribly delivered also that the cringe level was sky high!

[Uncle Chip]

None of the media want to deal with the thug’s 7 Eleven picture as it would eliminate a thousand of their prejudicial words which nobody would then read and probably don’t anyway.

And the people who only get their news from sources like that are going to be even more shocked when Z is acquitted as we were when OJ was. ;-)

I think he was sending a message that was received loud and clear. I’m not sure, in the long run, it made enemies in the jury. It was almost a “private ‘wink,wink’” comment to the jury.

IOW, his doing it is growing on me.

[Uncle Chip]

Here is something very interesting. The Timeline that will be the undoing of the state’s case — among other things:

Ray can shoot skeet,,He just wouldnt be that goot at it

[Uncle Chip]

The thing to watch in court with the prosecutor is who and what they leave out and don’t say.

It would be interesting for the defense to present No Limit’s profanity laden facebook posts and ask the jurors if using the state’s same standard those are evidence of Martin’s hostility and depraved mind leading to the beatdown.

Thanks for the ping.

[Uncle Chip]

Hearing about to begin — half hour early.

[luvbach1]

Knock knock joke stupid all right, but if the jurors are swayed by that to a guilty verdict, when they otherwise would have opted for not guilty, will mean they are more stupid than the joke.

[Chewbarkah]

Hmm. Now how could W8 have been talking with TM about events as they happened during a time there was no connection...

[Uncle Chip]

ClickOrlando just noted Crump’s appearance on Anderson Cooper last night and wondered what part of “sequestration” that he does not understand. It was a blatant violation of the court rules and expects it to be dealt with today in court.

[hoosiermama]

If they allow Z state of mind/ past history , why can’t they use TMs?
TMs is much more damaging IMO

[hoosiermama]

Time line contradict pros opening argument
