Strange to see a leftwing blog supporting Zimmerman.

Yep, when you know the case in your head, you don’t need a script to read from.

Reminds me of a certain poseur who can't even remember his name without a teleprompter.

my understanding is Bernie read it TO them. :-)

Sometimes yes, and other times it was clear that Bernie didn't know what was in the slide, and subsequently did not know how to extract a logical point from the slide. He would click to a slide, then just stand there looking at it for a few seconds, and click to the next slide.

One thing for sure: Yesterday's closing argument will be used as an education tool for future generations of law students.

There was this braggart I heard a tape of - think I heard it on Hannity - of some guy saying Zimmerman will never be able to move about. That was a threat that certain people will see to it that Zimmerman has no life, no ability to live and move, no room to breathe (paraphrasing).

People say he should move to Peru.

My thought was, there are millions of Americans who would help him. Certain communities of Americans would gladly provide defense for him to live among them.

A shelter in the time of storm...

These are people from the old America and from those values.

The “new Amerika” is an evil place...

Well I hope he takes the sensitivity for the Travon family off. All they do is scowl during testimony favorable to George. This is not a time for sensitivity and feelings extended to the Martins.

For a long time I said I was "liberal" on two issues. Death Penalty (which I share with John Engler) and pro-defense leanings in criminal procedure (which I also share with Scalia).

These political show-trials are a big reason why.

This article gave me an uneasy feeling. Bernie’s closing seemed so unprepared and convoluted to the point of giving one the feeling they didn’t feel it was mattered. Wonder what they have up their sleezy sleeves. Would George be detained if they intentionally caused a mistrial?

...”Whatever the verdict, it will never be over for GZ. Sad”...

He will never be safe again in this country..The left does so love racial politics. They do not want us to be equal under our skin color. Reverse the GZ situation and it would have never seen the light of day in court. Now, a man’s life is ruined because he did what most would do if faced with imminent death or disability which is to try to live. Our racial divide is now worse than ever. The nation wreckers must be loving this.

You’re so right. Where was the media outrage when these torturous murders occurred because of “race”. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Channon_Christian_and_Christopher_Newsom

Make a good movie..
“The Honkification of George”...

If you search the corporations database on the Florida Secretary of State's website, you'll find an LLC name for a film project based on this incident. I suspect they'll take the story in a different direction than you mentioned, though.

MOM will tear Bernie apart by showing the lies he told while trying to portray GZ as a liar. “Tell my wife I KILLED” someone” is a prime example”.

Yes, George Zimmerman will be the Bernhard Goetz of the the 21st Century.

“In other words, I’m not breaking out the bubbly yet. Instead, I’m going to try and figure out what trick of illusion John Guy has stored up his sleeve......”
That’s not hard to figure out. He has neither the facts or law on his side. He has to resort to emotion, speculation, distortion and flat out misrepresentation. It’s all he’s got......”

I’m not supporting the prosecution side with this statement but offer it as a possible. The prosecution closer is a tall, handsome man who if he has “charm” to go with it, can/will sway a jury of six women, that is UNLESS they are like Judge Nelson.

I’m prepared to send zim a nice check to help him reestablish himself elsewhere.

Whatever the verdict, it will never be over for GZ. Sad.

If he is acquitted, he could easily spend the rest of what should be his working years in court.

First, defending against the "civil rights" charges of the feral gubmint and the suit sure to come from Martin's parents, but, beyond that there are the law suits he needs to bring against NBC and elements of that same feral gubmint.

Poor written PowerPoint slides can easily make the readers think the presenter is a slick used car salesman.

Let’s hope BDLR gave this impression to the jury. No-one likes a slick salesman who looks slick...:^)
