tj444 -> RE: Zimmerman III - Should the jury have a manslaughter option (7/9/2013 3:31:05 PM)
|
Someone that lies (and it has been proven he lied) means people are not going to believe his story and imo thats one reason why people like me think he is guilty (& my opinion on that wont change if he gets off).. Guilty people can game the system and get away with murder (as did OJ imo).. The problem with this case, imo, is that right from the start, the cops screwed up, especially Serino, the patholgist & ME screwed up, & the prosecutors have done a piss-poor job with this case.. I have said before I think Zimmy will get off (especially since O'Mara isnt a run-of-the-mill over-worked public defender), I would be surprised if he was convicted.. but that does not make him innocent in the least.. it just means.. the fn punk got away with it.. quote:
ORIGINAL: Powergamz1 Everyone on the planet lies. People who lie are allowed to defend themselves. People who are wanna-bes are allowed to defend themselves. And in court, they get the same presumption of innocence as anyone. Again, if the prosecution had anything that is proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Zimmerman lied about the specific self defense issue of Martin grabbing the gun, the time for them to present it has passed. If you have such proof, the time for you to get it to the prosecution was months ago. . quote:
ORIGINAL: tj444 you have admitted it is possible he lied about grabbing the gun, which means its possible he lied about other things also.. it has been proven in court that lied about not having knowledge of SYG, it was proven in court he took a class on SYG & knew the elements needed for that defense in court.. that he lied is a proven fact.. quote:
ORIGINAL: Powergamz1 I haven't admitted anything, I've speculated on 2 possible sets of circumstances. Nowhere in the entire history of this issue have I ever said, or even hinted at anything else. Do you have anything at all factual related to this case? quote:
ORIGINAL: tj444 quote:
ORIGINAL: Powergamz1 At this juncture it seems equally likely that Zimmerman is essentially telling the truth, or that Zimmerman is telling the truth up until the point he panicked, pulled the trigger, and made up the story about Martin going for the gun. so you admit he made up the story about Martin going for the gun.. so why should anyone believe Zimmy's story about it beng Martin that started the fight in the first place? You see, when someone has been proven to be lying, other parts of his version also are very likely lies.. after all, he knew the law & what kinda story he needed to tell to cover his ass with the cops..
