"THE ZIMMERMAN PROSECUTION HAS A GIANT PROBLEM (see red text below) George Zimmerman re-enactment video with the police BEFORE he had a lawyer and right after the shooting": [I WILL BE IN FLORIDA on MONDAY in COURTROOM. OTR at 10pm will air live from Florida Monday night.]
First, as it stands now, (and ONLY my guess and it is early and much can change) do not expect George Zimmerman to take the witness stand (although he has a Constitutional right to do so if he wants to do so.)
This re-enactment video will help you understand the scene of the shooting according to George Zimmerman and is in his words. It is also a horrible video for the prosecution.

So would it be that the defense went public with it? I ask because it seems odd for such investigative material to be out in public. I did find a video on YT of GZ'a voice analysis session - day after the incident. That also shows him as completely straight forward.
Greta’s comments are consistant with the Florida court case cited by Judge Alex Ferrer A Florida TV judge who was on Hannity last night. He explained what the law required and Greta has laid it out here
Didn’t know about the video when he was on last night. Thought he was referring to other issues. Now it makes sense. Case over!

Hi BenLurkin, I hope you are well. I agree, I think Greta is incorrect. There are several ways for the defense to introduce it.
I can think of two possible exceptions, and would appreciate your view. First, I think it may be a present sense impression under exception 1.
“The following are not excluded by the rule against hearsay, regardless of whether the declarant is available as a witness:
“(1) Present Sense Impression. A statement describing or explaining an event or condition, made while or immediately after the declarant perceived it.”
The committee’s notes state:
“The underlying theory of Exception [paragraph] (1) is that substantial contemporaneity of event and statement negative the likelihood of deliberate of conscious misrepresentation. Moreover, if the witness is the declarant, he may be examined on the statement. If the witness is not the declarant, he may be examined as to the circumstances as an aid in evaluating the statement. Morgan, Basic Problems of Evidence 340–341 (1962).
“The theory of Exception [paragraph] (2) is simply that circumstances may produce a condition of excitement which temporarily stills the capacity of reflection and produces utterances free of conscious fabrication. 6 Wigmore §1747, p. 135. Spontaneity is the key factor in each instance, though arrived at by somewhat different routes. Both are needed in order to avoid needless niggling.”
Exception 2, of course is “excited utterance.”
The second basis would be that it would be an admission against interest, and not technically hearsay.
What are your, and other’s thoughts?
It could come in via the LE officer, or the videographer. I’m sure, in the sense of overkill, both are listed as witnesses by the defense.
The native Florida crackers aren’t the problem. It’s the ignorant transplants. Btw, Sanford is 25 miles north of Orlando, not 60-70.
Not only that, but Zimmerman also recounts how the dispatcher asks if he can get to a place where he (GZ) can get to a place where he can see him (Trayvon). So the dispatcher actually encouraged Zimmerman to follow Trayvon, and there is no indication at all that Trayvon was being “stalked”.
“You left me here to die!!!”
Check the big OxyContin bust of the Stanforf CVS just before this incident happened. It appears it was a drug hub community.
We also have a new smart phone in development with T-Mobile to be known as the Smart Ass Phone. It will sense that an assault on a creepy ass cracker is imminent and shut down and go into denial mode.
Keep the ideas coming and remember -- sell sell sell.
LOL —
Let’s all hope for a return visit.
If I recall correctly the picture was taken after the PD tried to inspect for injuries and administer CPR, so that would account for the arms being by his sides rather than spread out.
Exactly.I'd say that the chances of GZ doing serious time *somewhere* are about 99%.
Put skittles
Watermelon iced tea
Purple
And drug cocktail in your search engine
Two of the ingredients needed to make a batch
The Skittles and watermelon tea were to be mixed with cough syrup to make a drug cocktail known as purple drank or purple lean.
Before it was all deleted, screenshots of Martin’s Facebook page were full of discussion about the recipe.
In Florida a lot of this trial material once released by the prosecution to the defense must by law be made public. And this video and those voice analyses are among the things that were released.
I’m pretty sure neither exception would apply (definitely not an “excited utterance”) but who knows?
Judges are strange creatures.
I watched the OJ case and I would have voted "not guilty." The prosecution was terrible. They did not make their case. The verdict was correct.
Which doesn't mean he wasn't guilty of murder.
Fox reporting on the law that prosecussion must present. They’re going to hit it hard this week
That I don’t know....probably within the last 6-12 months.
Did the prosecution know she was gonna say crazy-ass cracker? Would like to see the facial expressions of the prosecutors.
