I have noticed in this trial that Judge Nelson has shown an obvious animosity toward George Zimmerman’s defense lawyers. Her excuse, mostly, for her quick temper, is that she does not want to inconvenience jurors. “Hey lady,” Jerry Lewis would say, there is a MAN ON TRIAL for something that may put him behind bars for a very long time, and he should not even be on trial according to Florida’s own “Stand Your Ground” laws.
Fail. This is not a SYG case. It is not even in the jury instructions (they went through those today). It is a pure self-defense case.
I have no legal training at all but I have watched all the Perry Mason shows several times.
Actually I am not kidding. You can learn a lot from those TV shows. One thing which stands out is more than once Perry has told the judge that his client is on trial for murder and he should be allowed a lot of leeway. The judge always agrees.
The judge in the Zimmerman trial seems to think that he is guilty until proven innocent and it is her job to make sure the trial is unfair.
