George Zimmerman /Trayvon Martin General Discussion #14 Friday July 12

[ScarlettScarpetta]

Funny. TM called GZ two different racial slurs..

BAd argument STATE.

 

[BiggNewt]

I don't believe MOM just stood up and made an objection??? The guy has got to be very worried.

IMO

He did it because Guy just lied about what reasonable doubt is..You know what he says about liars...They are murderers...IMO

 

[Overuled]

Did Guy just say a seventeen year old driving around in a car?? omg. moo

 

[AngelWings444]

I thought TM was already home according to RJ?

Nope. He wasn't at his house. He was "almost" there. We really do not have any idea how close he was since RJ was on the phone and wouldn't know Trayvon's exact location.

I tell my son that I am almost home, near home, by the house, etc...when I am at different distances.

IMO

Damn! George is good, according to Emotional Guy. George had it all prepared, even knew when the neighbors would open their windows.

Zoe you can't call him George-you have to call him "the Mastermind".

Love it! Prosecution now flipping the people - what if TM was driving around and saw GZ, got out of his car and followed him and now GZ was dead - what would you do?

IMO

I know this is beside the point, but IMO boys and men don't start to look like adults until they are about 21-22. At 16, 17 they still look like boys. They still look lanky and their necks look skinny.

Some still look boyish. Some look like men, IMHO, and have a full bushy beard and all their adult height at 17.

Trayvon was one of those kind, IMHO.

Completely untrue. I could show you a pic of kid I know that has been 6'2 since 13. Many many teen boys are big quick and stay that way.

Thank YOU for ending it!

imo.

IMO

Have a trial and find out the facts...Just like this one...

Yes, he was changing the position of the two people - GZ and TM.

IMO

LUNCH Break !

When my kids reached that age, they no longer were allowed to see the pediatrician, and were referred to a Family practitioner. Because a 17 year old is not a child, and medically it's inappropriate to treat them like that.

They have become adults, in the eyes of the medical community.

IMHO

That's weird because our pediatricians group see children through the age of 18- when they become legal adults or finish High School.

IMO

NO HE WAS AT. She stated HE said he was AT his daddy's house.. as referenced with a link to the testimony in the last post about this.

 

[katiewonders]

I wouldn't be surprised if the jury comes back with a verdict today. If they are in agreement after their discussion of the evidence, in the first straw vote, they won't want to spend another weekend in a hotel. IMO

 

[Zoe Bogart]

In my opinion you are incorrect. Again, Zimmerman killed someone. He KILLED someone. He admits to doing so, but is saying that he should be given a pass for this particular killing.

Do you actually believe he has no further obligations other than to say the two words, "Self Defense"? That's what you are claiming. And no, don't respond by saying that Zimmerman did say more than just this, because that negates the original claim that this was unnecessary. According to the oft repeated 'Florida law' statement, Zimmerman never needed to say any more than these two magical words. According to some, a simple "Self Defense" statement somehow kicks all the burden onto the prosecution. Forget the corpse, he said it was self defense.

Apparently some believe that the prosecution must prove exactly what happened, and why, and what people were feeling, and they must somehow demonstrate that it was impossible for the killer to suffer some unspecified injury down the road -- perhaps a lightning strike due to the storm. Can you PROVE lightning was impossible? It was Florida after all. And apparently Zimmerman doesn't even have to claim he was afraid of lightning, the prosecution must still prove that this fear as well was unreasonable.

It's silly. It's not THEIR job to explain why Trayvon Martin is dead, it's the job of the guy who followed and killed him.

The burden of proof is on the prosecution.

 

[AngelWings444]

Minor detail, but I believe that Chad Joseph was 14, not 12. He was 15 at the time of testifying.

IMO

I believe he had a birthday right after Trayvon's killing and one right before testifying. For sure, he wasn't 14. JMO

 

[Chris_Texas]

YES he is presumed innocent! Yes, he is! This is where so many people don't understand how the court works in the United States.

It's literally called, "presumption of innocence" and it's the cornerstone of our justice system. He is presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty in a court of law.

IMHO and probably you might want to research this. It's the stuff we all learned in 6th grade civics. The defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

That's why we have a trial rather than throwing him in Prison without one. But Zimmerman is not claiming he did not shoot an unarmed teen, he is claiming he shot this unarmed teen because he had no choice.

At that point he has an obligation to explain WHY he had no choice. It is not assumed he had no choice, nor is it assumed he is telling the truth. IMO
