Day 19 (Week #4) Zimmerman Trial – Witness Discussion Thread

The Conservative Treehouse ^ | July 5, 2013 | Sundance

[Uncle Chip]

Today, July 5th, is DAY #19 (of 4th week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.

The State is expected to wrap up their case today – A great recap of the trial so far is available HERE: The key witness today expected to be Sybrina Fulton, mom.

Great Expectations? Remember, as y’all have noted during the 15+ months of research, there is so much corruption in the assembly of this case we could expect the State to avoid the traditional witnesses brought by normal prosecutions. We have not been disappointed in our predictions. The state has already won a pre-trial motion to bar the defense mentioning the absence of any witness from the State’s case.

So it comes as no surprise, not a single State investigator has been called, not a single FBI officer, only one local investigative detective, Chris Serino (who supported the defense), and now the profound possibility they won’t even present the Seminole County Medical Examiner. So has the State actually even proven that Trayvon is indeed, deceased? Without the M.E. the ballistics are essentially moot – where did the aforementioned bullet come from? They have not established it came from Trayvon’s body. Think about it.

Because of pre-trial ‘motions in limine’ to exclude the defense bringing it up, O’Mara cannot mention it. Would/Will the jurors notice a missing M.E. = Trayvon blood tox. etc?

[Uncle Chip]

Will we see Medical Examiner Shiping Bao and his autopsy report before the fatlady sings???

Live threads are a venerable tradition on FR. We enjoy sharing our thoughts, opinions and knowledge related to events as they unfold. The live threads can also be useful to those who cannot see the event itself, but look to the thread for updates on what is happening.

Though we may be “like minded” we are still individuals with unique insights and perceptions. Mutual respect should be shown in the way we react to each other.

A certain amount of “rough and tumble” goes with the territory. But, there needs to be a limit, especially on the live threads.. After all, isn’t self-restraint a virtue that conservatism promotes?

[MrEdd]

Has the defense been barred from asserting Trayvon is alive?

[jmaroneps37]

Michael Wiener aka Michael Savage has once again proved he is to be laughed at and not listened to by his pronouncement that Zimmerman is guilty.

[Bronzy]

Thanks for the ping. I think the judge said that start time is 8:30 AM today.

“After all, isn’t self-restraint a virtue that conservatism promotes?”

That would be really retarded...Sir!

[don-o]

Don’t make me start making a list! LOL

I pretty much draw the line on self-restraint when my head is getting beat into a concrete sidewalk..............then all bets are off.

[JRandomFreeper]

Thanks again for the daily thread.

At this point, they could claim that the state hasn’t quite proven that he’s dead (no medical examiner testimony), or that George fired the gun (no prints on the trigger).

Are the limits you speak of limits on truth telling? Do your limits mean that we must acknowledge that Saint Trayvon told Miss Slim Jeans that there was a "rather confused looking man who appears to be of European origin following me"? Or must we acknowledge that that neighbor couldn't be *sure* that it was the guy in red on the bottom and couldn't be *sure* that he was getting the tar beaten out of him?

[NTHockey]

Defense will make a motion to dismiss charges since state has not made its case.

[Beagle8U]

I’m going to have a hat made that says...

“Creepy-Ass Cracker
that
Stands his ground!”

I might even add the Stars and Bars just for grins.

[XenaLee]

Yes....thanks for all you do.

[XenaLee]

How about a T-shirt that says “I survived the Zimmerman trial and all I got was this lousy “Creepy-Ass Cracker” shirt”.

[don-o]

My little screed is simply a reminder / appeal for respect, civility and also staying on topic. Previous live threads have had had a few problems in those areas. There’s no need to revisit all that. Those who have seen it will understand.

[AppyPappy]

Or just CAC for short.

[Beagle8U]

That would also work!
