Funny. TM called GZ two different racial slurs..
BAd argument STATE.

I don't believe MOM just stood up and made an objection??? The guy has got to be very worried.
IMO
I thought TM was already home according to RJ?
Damn! George is good, according to Emotional Guy. George had it all prepared, even knew when the neighbors would open their windows.
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.

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

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.

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