Day 16 (Week #4) Zimmerman Trial – Witness Discussion Thread
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | July 1, 2013 | Sundance

Posted on 07/01/2013 5:17:35 AM PDT by Uncle Chip

Today, July 1st, is DAY #16 (of 4th week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.

Last week the prosecution feebly presented the first series of witnesses against George Zimmerman. However, as most observers would note, the witnesses called by the state have so far been more beneficial for the Zimmerman Self-Defense position.

No, city girl, but I think like a country girl and have lived in the country, (with horses) too.
Does that count?

I’ll jump in and answer. As a woman, I can state that my interest if I were on that jury, would be first and foremost to hear ALL the evidence before trying to figure out the answer to the question. As such, I would be aware that 1. the prosecution is not done with their witnesses and 2. that the defense has not had their turn yet.

As for the actions of GZ that I heard in court to date, I would feel thankful that there is someone willing to ‘watch’ my neighborhood for me and my family. I would share the concern that someone who didn’t belong in my neighborhood was being observed by a man who actually cared enough to call 911.

On a completely personal note, as a female, I can tell that I find bernie to be an annoying pompous a** and I’m not too fond of West either.

... but there are a few trolls that I hadn’t realized were trolls before...

Troll = Anyone who disagrees with you...or calls you on your BS.

Tray’s scumbags put out a shirt that said that. My guess is that was the real words that Jenteal heard....thus...right from the horse’s mouth.

OK, your opinion is worth double on this topic I think. :)

I made no contradictory post, only tried to answer the strawman posts of a few trolls.

Understood. The only reason it dragged on was due to RC referring to twitter as a source vs. what she heard herself as she did not listen to the tape. That’s all.

No big deal in the big scheme of things. I will simply say that when I am challenged, I will answer. It might not be the answer they desire, but I will state my position. Hope that makes sense.

No, troll is someone pushing disinformation to obscure information, like you apparently.

I think what RC is concerned with is that the jury (knowing that jurors aren’t necessarily picked for being the brightest candle in the church) might think

A: GZ was afraid to get out of the car
B: Remembered he was packing and could blow away anyone who looked at him funny
C: Overcame the fear and got out of the car.

Now, no one has come out and said B, but if I thought of it I’m sure someone else has too....

“Bernie wants us to believe that GZ should not have holstered his weapon after using it.”

Great idea. Have an upholstered gun when the police show up. The only possible reason to do that would be if Martin was still a threat.

I think it was Legal Insurrection had a good piece on the jury - it was encouraging to me (as one who thinks GZ is not guilty).

I hope the women will see GZ as someone with concern for his neighborhood (a woman's greatest need/motivation is security) and that his demeanor on the taped interviews, the 911 tapes, and even in court do not show him to be a hot-headed racist.... just my .02

I think that the jury (like the JUDGE) is frightened for their life, and will have no choice but to find GZ guilty of something....even if it’s for gaining some weight.

“Every single day, cops, firemen, soldiers, and other guys do things despite fear, because it’s the job they’ve volunteered to do. Even though it makes no sense to you, just accept it. Guys aren’t rational by your standards. Just be grateful we aren’t.”

This jury, however, is all female. That said, they are mostly married, some with children...which suggests they are used to the better side of men.

Keeping your record intact here - no truth to ever pass through your keyboard.

And I see you're keeping your record intact - completely unable to identify and prove even one single thing I've ever said here, during my entire posting history, that wasn't true. Ah, but persisting in the false accusations.

Keep it up, clown! The world needs entertainers.

Just don't quit your day job.

Newsflash: There are a lot of women that are capable of being afraid of something and doing it anyway, as well. Let's hope that at least some of the women on the jury can relate.

You know, I thought there were. RummyChick was sure making women sound like... well, chickens.
