quote: ORIGINAL: kdsub I believe he made a mistake in not testifying. Butch he made repeated mistakes by giving his story in the first dam place on camera/recorded, more than once, lies included, without legal representation.. the fact that he even went on tv against his lawyers advice (you could see O'Mara cringing at he sat next to him), the fact of the whole muck-up when he canned his first lawyer (without even telling him) shows someone that is arrogant and dumb enough to think no one will spot his lies & inconsistancies in his version of his story.. and that he thinks he knows the law better than lawyers do.. dont forget Zimmy sitting in court during his bail hearing when his wife and family lied about how much money he had.. I think O'Mara is one of the few good lawyers (imo), but there is only so much he can do given the total fuck-up of a client he was attempting to represent.. jmo..

quote: ORIGINAL: BamaD All fine and well, but I was the scrawniest 12 yr. old kid (almost) in a Jr. HS of 900 kids, got my head bashed into a locker on a semi-regular basis, had to go do the paper route amongst viscous dogs in the afternoon after all that, along with dealing with 14 yr. old neighborhood thugs, etc. At 12 it was illegal for you to carry a gun. Irrelevant. I never thought of carrying or possessing a gun in the first place. That's not how things were dealt with at the time. What a fu*king bunch of pussies adults are, is all I would have said at the time (which in fact I did, for other reasons). In fact, what I would say even more so, today.

The prosecution proved every element of second degree murder beyond a reasonable doubt. Zimmerman's own words proved he had ill will and hatred for Martin Zimmerman's story was proven to be untrue by his own witness under cross examination(specifically there is no way he reached his weapon if Martin had him pinned down with Martin's knees in his armpits) Zimmerman never denied shooting and killing Martin. That's all the elements and Zimmerman made up the self defense claim and lied about knowing the self defense laws. You never know what a jury will do though. I am sort of surprised they didn't come back quickly, sequestered juries tend to return on Friday's so they can go home for the weekend. Valid point to bad none of it is accurate.

quote: ORIGINAL: tazzygirl Oh I am quite calm... laughing a bit in fact at this and the other threads. Lets be real for a moment. Two men met on a very dark night, both with attitudes and histories of anger... both unable to walk away. I dont blame T for going home.. who the hell wants to be followed and go straight home to where the kid brother is? I dont blame Z for being there, he felt he had an obligation. The break down comes in with Z forgetting his role, since he is following as he says he was taught by NW. As a nurse, if I follow only have my rules, if something goes wrong, I am not only "half" responsible. There are lots of inconsistencies in the stories. No one will ever know the truth. but lies have been told... how many or to what extent, again, we may never know. These two forces met, and fought, for whatever reason. Many often say "The equalizer was the gun". In this case, it wasnt an equalizer. Now, we have charged 6 women, some with small children, the task of finding Z innocent or guilty. Its amazing how no one has thought about how this is affecting, or going to affect, their lives. Find him guilty, or innocent, and these women will surely feel the fall out for their decision. A hung jury will make both sides of the issue angry. As much as we all want to be arm chair lawyers and juries... we arent... those 6 women are. Its now in their hands.. and I cant help but feel sorry for them no matter how they rule. If Z gets convicted now, it just may be overturned on appeal. Who knows. But as much anger as this case has generated... and widely evidenced on these many, multiple threads... would any of you not think about yourselves as you are trying to decide this man's future? If you are thinking about yourself you have no business being on the jury.

"DOMA is unconstitutional as a deprivation of the equal liberty of persons that is protected by the Fifth Amendment" I've always wondered where that came from, since it unattributed.....how in the fuck did you come by that?

Zimmerman has told many different versions but the details he provided to the self defense guy and the statements he gave to police all include Martin straddling him at or above his waist with his arms outside Martin's legs and in one version he claimed Martins knees were in his armpits. There is no conceivable way he could have gotten to his weapon and there is no way Martin could have seen it and tried to take it away in any of these scenarios. Therefore we know it happened somehow differently thanks to the defense witness. Zimmerman has of course never denied he shot and killed Martin. That is all the elements of second degree murder and we know the self defense claim is a lie.

It saddens me to do so with such a piece of shit as that asswipe, don't ask don't tell does not fit within the Fifth, as I am sure you tutored the undergraduates in your Criminal Justice 101.

NothingIsTaboo4U -> RE: UNMODERATED ZIMMERMAN (7/12/2013 4:15:26 PM)
I truly want to believe that Mr. Zimmerman followed Trayvon Martin in his car, then got out of his car to follow on foot, all he did was ask the kid what he was doing, turned to leave because he was satisfied with the answer and was ambushed by a kid who intended to attack an adult all along after buying his tea and skittles. But .. something tells me that isn't what happened at all. My guess is Mr. Zimmerman forgot that if you try to stop someone from going home, they might come to believe that you intend to do them harm and if they feel threatened, they just might fight back resulting in your skull being cracked. People want to believe that Zimmerman acted in self defense. But folks, when you instigate a confrontation, you are the aggressor. People were screaming about the "race card" being played. But the fact of the matter is this: if Trayvon Martin had been Tracy Martin, a blonde haired, blue eyed teenaged girl, Zimmerman would have been arrested the night of the shooting and the public would be willing to accept that she believed Zimmerman was trying to abduct her, she fought for her life and Zimmerman was wrong for shooting her, regardless of whether she smoked marijuana or had videos of herself talking about fighting.

You ignore the obvious fact that Martin initiated the violent phase of the encounter making it clear cut self defense. Martin's ill will and hatred was more clearly demonstrated by the prosecution with the cracker comment or are you going to claim that this was a term of endearment?

Powergamz1 -> RE: UNMODERATED ZIMMERMAN (7/12/2013 4:18:13 PM)
You may have missed the point. I'm all for your right to not carry a weapon. I'm satisfied with the outcome of your adventures. I don't evrn particularly care if you think ZImmerman was a pussy or that cops are pussies, etc. But the fundamental laws on self defense (giving people the right to use weapons) were around long before you could have possibly been 12 or 22. The old dueling codes went away in the 1800s. quote: ORIGINAL: Edwynn quote: ORIGINAL: Powergamz1 Well, things were different with black powder weapons. Thanks for hearing me out, in any case.
