Thank you SO much Adrienne37!!!

If somebody attacked me I would not be in a helpful mood. And he claims he was attacked.
And there is that big word, even with only two letters it really means so much.......IF. At this point in time we have nothing that proves what Zimmerman said was true. There is no evidence yet that proves that Trayvon attacked Zimmerman other than asking him "why are you following me?". If that is an attack then more people would be shot dead.
Even IF Trayvon attacked Zimmerman why didn't Zimmerman do what has come so natural to him in the past? Why didn't he call 911 himself and request an ambulance? If not for Trayvon, why not for himself?
I think that will be a huge sticking point for the jury. The fact that Zimmerman did not call 911 and request medical attention for himself points to his story about being attacked, beaten, nose broken and having his head bashed into the sidewalk being just that......a story.
MOO
I was suprised to say the least that Crump hired a publicist for this case.
Crump and the pro-bono publicist he brought on, Ryan Julison, crafted a media strategy to make the story national. Reuters reported first, then CBS News.

Well, I am sorry, but because of SYG it works the other way. Prosecutor will need evidence that Zimmerman did not act in self-defense. Not the other way around.
Attorney: Zimmerman "stressed" about charges in Trayvon Martin case
http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/13/justic...html?hpt=hp_t3
.......
"I think he's stressed. He's certainly nervous," O'Mara said of Zimmerman. "He is frustrated he was charged at all."
On Thursday, a Seminole County judge found probable cause to move forward with the case and set a May 29 arraignment.
------
Also Friday, the judge assigned to the case, Jessica Recksiedler, said she would entertain motions to disqualify herself from the trial after discovering that her husband works with Mark NeJame, an attorney whom Zimmerman approached about representing him and has since widely commented on the case in the media. NeJame also is a CNN contributor.
O'Mara said the association might become "more and more problematic" given the intense scrutiny the case is receiving.
Recksiedler said she would prefer any such request be filed before Zimmerman's bond hearing.
---------
A member of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, meanwhile, said Friday that he will ask the agency to investigate state "stand your ground" laws, such as Florida's, that allow people to use deadly force if they feel a reasonable threat of death or serious injury.
"The Trayvon Martin case has raised serious and disturbing questions over whether these statutes allow an unacceptable component of racial bias into our justice system," Commissioner Michael Yaki said. "Allegations that shooters like George Zimmerman may have 'profiled' their victims based on their race and that 'stand your ground laws' improperly protect race-motivated killings needs review."

Based on the conversation the past thread or so I would say that it has been proven that is not the case. I remember reading numerous posts saying that the defense will be the one that has to prove that Zimmerman acted in self-defense.
MOO
Why is that surprising? I think it's rather obvious the reason Zimmerman was arrested is because of public pressure.
I realize that. Now I know why it garnered the attention it did. I have never heard of a publicist being hired to promote a death before.

Promote a death? :what:
IMO he was promoting an investigation into a death. An investigation that many felt had not been done.

I remember talking to my first love in much the same wayMy parents could always find me in my teen years by following the phone cord from the wall to where I was hiding (closet/bathroom, etc) talking on the phone so my brother wouldn't eavesdrop. LOL Gosh I am old.
To kinda change the subject from the girlfriend, I just have to ask y'all......is Frank Taafe getting on everyone's nerves like he is mine? :banghead:
Every time he is on Nancy Grace, I just want to throttle him! lol Did y'all hear him the other night when he mentioned "myself and my constituents?" LOL His constituents? Nancy nailed him on that one, she said she didn't know he held a political office!
