How this is different from a Soviet trial, I can’t see.

This one is allowing defense witnesses, and is being televised for all to see. Otherwise...

I saw this, and it succinctly describes the prosecutions strategy:

“the prosecution is simply trying to show reasonable doubt as to Zimmerman’s innocence.”

I know virtually nothing about legal procedures, so when you say, “reversible error”, what does that mean?

I’ve lent my phone out to anyone wishing to send a text message thousands of times. Hasn’t everyone?

Nope.

I personally feel she and Angela Corey may be more than just friends and the visual on that is sick making.

Depends on politics.

The consistent stance of the court seems to be that Trayvon Martin is the defendant with a presumption of innocence and that George Zimmerman is a prosecutor trying to prove Martin’s guilt in order to justify self-defense.

The judge f****d up, and the verdict is reversed by a higher court? That's my semi-edumacated guess.

Don’t forget the crazy Medical Examiner Valeria Rao. She’s under investigation for very bizarre behavior. The only reason she has that job is government officials, the same people that are involved in the Zimmerman case.

Really? This morning?

Were the jurors in court? Have they at least seen and heard the defense arguments for cell phone records?

I hope so. The very fact the judge wants to deny the jurors relevant evidence is enough to provoke the jury into making the right call here.

Not Guilty.

I’m a little behind on the whole text argument here. Are Martin’s texts just now being turned over?

It’s a form of gun control.

What good is concealed carry if you’re being beaten and fear for your life and you can’t use the weapon to defend yourself?

Mostly it was an election year attempt to motivate blacks and make them feel they are oppressed, etc. to get them to vote. Motivate the base.

If Zimmerman is convicted, the defense can use this judge’s rulings in their appeal.

Anyway, she did allow the defense to use the animation piece in their closing. Dis-allowing the incriminating text messages of Martin was a huge blunder by the judge and may come back to haunt her.

All that said, it would take an act of the devil for that jury to convict Zimmerman.

The defense did submit this as part of their motion. I heard the judge reference it this morning. In her verbal “sustained” she gave no reason.
