I pray for a fair and just verdict. My support and thoughts go out to the Zimmerman family and the defense team as we wait.

There is NOTHING the prosecution could have done to secure an honest conviction.

Let me back up a step. My original point was that statements to the police made by the defendant may generally not be introduced by the defense unless the defendant takes the stand, and the only way such statements are apt be introduced by the prosecutor is if either (1) they are unfavorable to the defendant, or (2) the prosecutor is failing to present its case as effectively as it could. Would that be a fair statement? The way in which George's statements were introduced in this case is unusual bordering on bizarre, and is decidedly not typical.

Would you agree that the job of prosecutors is to present the most effective case possible if they believe the defendant to be guilty, and refuse to present any case if they don't? That would imply that if prosecutors are going to bring a case, they should do so as effectively as they can. Can you offer any explanation for the prosecutors' behavior in this case other than incompetence or a lack of interest in actually winning? What could they have hoped to gain by introducing testimony about George's statements during the state's case? Even if the prosecution's goal was to hang the defendant on the slight inconsistencies among his statements, is there any reason to believe that would not have been more effective during a rebuttal phase?

Again, I am 100% aware that the facts of the case do not support a conviction. My question is whether there would be any reason for a competent prosecutor who believed that the facts did support a conviction would present a case in the manner this one was presented.

"Rush was sick of the coverage of someone else (other than himself). He didn't understand how important this trial was to Constitutional America. .."

That's one of the most ignorant / uninformed / stupid statements made by any of the mind-readers posting in this thread. (And that's going some.)

Does anyone know what the 6th tape that Mark O’Mara introduced into evidence was about? He made the comment, something to the effect, that he wondered why the Prosecution never put it in, but I want you to listen to it very carefully

Z had seen some children playing in an area that endangered them. He was looking out for their safety. Instead of playing cop and scolding the kids he asked that Leo might intervene with kids and parents.
Itoh. I may be totally off.

Thanks! If someone knows anything different, maybe they will let us know.

Please report back. I turn the radio off now when Savage comes on. Unfortunately, our local station inserted him and moved Batchelor to a later hour.

George Zimmerman acted in self-defense. Do not allow the Department of Justice to pursue additional civil rights charges against him. Sign the petition here: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/do-not-allow-department-justice-prosecute-george-zimmerman-civil-rights-charges/5xP1PjpF.

If he is live tomorrow night, I will let you know if he gives any opinion on the verdict. BTW, there is a Savage Nation thread here M-F. Sorry, I cannot spell the poster’s user name but I would know it if I saw it.
