Day 13 (Week #3) Zimmerman Trial – Witness Discussion Thread…
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | June 26, 2013 | Sundance

Posted on 06/26/2013 5:34:24 AM PDT by Uncle Chip

Today, June 26th, is DAY #13 (of 3rd week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case. An explosive second day of deconstructed witness testimony took place yesterday. Which leads to the “big question”:

Will witness #8, Rachel Jeantel, be called to the stand today?

[Yesterday could] … only be characterized as an utter debacle for the prosecution in Florida v. Zimmerman. Besides the testimony of a couple of highly professional law enforcement witnesses, the testimony of the the other State witnesses ranged from signing George Zimmerman’s praises, to acknowledging the utility of following a suspicious person from a distance, to being utterly discredited by razor sharp cross-examination of the defense.

Before we even get to the disaster that was the State’s witnesses, however, we first have to discuss this morning’s hearing and the extent to which it evanescent is the State’s case against George Zimmerman. State: Zimmerman Is So Good, He Must Be Bad ............

That is the point. Her testimony supports exactly what you said. And it is a major part of what the defense is saying.

Another prosecution witness tht seems more like a defense witness.

Are you kidding, I don’t think she has a clue where she is let alone what she has said. Actually, the real tragedy here is the prosecution, parents and people who have taken advantage if this half-witted person.

Impeaching a witness means you get evidence to discredit the witness and the testimony the witness made.

Impeach a testimony

It means to use prior testimony to show that her current testimony is inconsistent. In other words, "you just testified that you heard T say ______X_______." But, in your prior deposition, you said _______Y________"

Reminds me of the day I beat a better racket ball player because I knew he was a fairly heavy smoker.

I just made him run around a lot to get points and then when he was red faced I took every consecutive point until the game was over and I won.

If she’s getting fidgity, she’ll be worse in ten minutes, etc.

The analyst I'm listening to explained he thought that the witness is not "sophisticated enough" to be primed and rehearsed by Crump or other actors in this drama...that she undoubtedly couldn't assimilate and remember enough to be coached.

He was so gentlemanly...he really wanted to say she's too DUMB for such a scenario, but he used the words "not sophisticated enough", "not worldy enough" and "naive".

She said she didn’t take Crump’s interview seriously and just wanted to get it over with. That moment.

It means she lied under oath, didn’t take the interview seriously, that she has no respect for the law - which indicates that she can’t be believed now on the stand.

West approaches witness. Brings soft-bound transcript of deposition about Jeantel's interview with Crump. Asks her to read certain page in low 200s starting at line 15 to line 23.

Asking about March 13, 2013 deposition in Miami. West asking about what she said in Crump interview about Martin-Zimmerman confrontation. Jeantel getting obtuse.
