PressPlay -> RE: Zimmerman III - Should the jury have a manslaughter option (7/7/2013 4:19:16 PM)
Are you serious BitYakin?? The evidence is a teenager is dead. A teenager who did not think his life would end at his fathers girlfriends apartment complex. If you listened to his 911 call, you know that he did not stop following. The entire exchange was not caught on the phone. The call ended before the encounter ended. WE do not know what else took place except a Teen died. It took 45 days for them to arrest Zimmerman. Even his interview at the station on the day this happened is faulty in MY opinion. You can be in his corner, I don't mind that, but understand that Zimmerman caused the dead of a teen simply because........

The portion that was caught supports Zimmerman we cannot assume there was something that proves Zimmerman was guilty anymore than we can assume that Martin announced he was going to kill Zimmerman and hang his body on a lamppost.

The encounter started at nearly exactly the same spot George agreed to not follow, after agreeing not to follow George spent the rest of the call not knowing where Trayvon was, and the lead investigator, Chris Serino was unable to offer any evidence that George continued to follow.

I did listen to the 911 call and there is absolutley nothing in there at indiactes he did not stop following him... he did not say, NO I am going to follow him anyhow, there are no sounds that indicate and/or prove he continued to follow... maybe you could tell me/us the specific words and/or sounds you heard on the 911 call that conclusively proves Z continued to follow M?? cause I think if what you say is there, is in fact there, the prosecution MIGHT have pointed it out to the jury maybe you can give me a link to where the prosecution said and this sound proves conclusively that Z did not stop following M as suggested to him to do and yes the entire verbal exchange up to the point that physical contact was made was testified to by an eye, or rather ear witness! and it clearly shows M made NO ATTEMPT to respond verbally to Z's question of what are you doing here?

It doesn't have to be proven factually, it is left to the jury to decide how much weight to give it. And the defense can call a school official to testify on that. That isn't hearsay. The texts remain hearsay and were rightfully not admitted. I've already provided the source explaining why they aren't hearsay for this specific matter. No. you put forward a claim. the judge ruled them hearsay and you claimed that is reversible error. I guarantee no appellate court is going to agree.

I would say the texts alone would be hearsay, but if a witness stpes forward to say yes it was avilent person the the texts become supporting evidence of that testimony, witness: yes travon was a violent agressive person.. defense attorny: your honor at this time we would like to submit text messages where trayvon bragged about this to support the validity of the witness's testimony! def atty to witness: sir, to your knowledge do any of these txts refer to the incidents you refer to? witness: yes or no or unsure if the witness can link a time and date to a txt and say yeahh I remember that, there ya go, no longer hearsay no differant that showing a pic of someone beat up and asking, is this the guy he beat up? now I am not saying the def can do all that, but thats how it COULD happen! I already said they need an actual witness 4 or 5 times up thread.

So Zimmerman is a liar. He did tell the dispatcher he would go to the mailboxes and wait for the police there..

No. you put forward a claim. the judge ruled them hearsay and you claimed that is reversible error. I guarantee no appellate court is going to agree. You're confusing different issues. I claimed the door was opened in regards to bringing evidence of fighting...that was a different thing than the texts, though the texts are included. Rachel on the stand opened the door to be asked about Trayvon's fighting, but the judge didn't allow the defense to ask her about it. That had nothing to do with the texts. That was the reversible error. In regards to the texts, what the judge actually said was that they would have to be authenticated first before further argument about their admissibility would be addressed. I gave a source already that discusses that, with relevant case law. The texts have not yet been ruled inadmissible. We'll see more on that this week.

Mark O’Mara, Mr. Zimmerman’s lawyer, argued that Mr. Martin’s drug use could have made him aggressive and paranoid, which the defense said might have prompted him to attack Mr. Zimmerman, 29, a neighborhood watch volunteer. “All of that fits in squarely to what the defense is going to present: that George Zimmerman was put in the position that he had to act in self-defense,” Mr. O’Mara said. “How could you keep us from arguing that?” Judge Nelson replied, “The rules of evidence keep you from doing it.” http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/29/us/judge-in-trayvon-martin-case-puts-limits-on-defense.html?smid=pl-share&_r=1& Updated 2010....

He did tell the dispatcher he would go to the mailboxes and wait for the police there.. and again there is nothing to prove he wasn't heading that way or preparing to head that way... even if all he did was stand completely still, it would mean he was not following is there something that pinpoints exactly where Z was at the moment the 911 OP said he didn't need to follow? if I rememebr right, it seemed to me, Z had indicated he was a confused about his exact location at that moment and I'll admit, I do not know, I am asking!

Actually, the dispatcher suggested it, then George responded with a different suggestion that Noffke agreed to.
