Zimmerman ~ NOT Guilty

[Hitman]

THAT part I totally don't understand. it's like they've come to trial with no real case. Their witnesses are either backing up zimmerman's story, not really that relevant, or totally not credible. They don't have any hard evidence, and they seem to be building some weird circumstantial evidence. I don't get it.

EXACTLY my point.....which has me flabbergasted.

How could such a HIGH STAKES case look so completely lopsided?

The kind of stuff doesn't even happen in the movies......lol

 

[Hitman]

There is no case!

I'm in denial. No way they came here this empty handed.

Alright. I'm not the only one a little perplexed here.

I wonder if Both sides lawyers ate lunch together.

Happens WAY more than most realize. As they should be able to in all honesty. Attorneys in the same town, same social circles probably. Same fraternities, same schools. I doubt 99% of the people that flow through the courtroom are thought of after the case. We're their job. It might be life changing for us, but day's work for them.

As long as I am treated fairly, I couldn't care less. And to think about it, if the lawyers are friendly, maybe there would be less cut throat slaughtering, more factual, less drama.

You are selectively forgetting the national phony outrage / race baiting / threat of violence campaign leading up to the forced arrest and coerced charges!

How do you build a case under those circumstances?

You don't think this will be the catalyst for another LA style riot, do you?

You'd be surprised. I've unfortunately been around enough attorney's to know that they can come to court on their best day empty handed.

I keep half expecting them to come away from the bench and say case dismissed.

Yea I was joking really. I an old roomate of mine is a Lawyer in BR. He said once that he and his friend were on different sides of the isle and sort of described it like you did. He said it was more about them vs the Jury and who could convince them of one side or the other and less about lawyer vs lawyer. Of course he also said there are still plenty of BIG time Rivalries between Lawyers and even Firms too. They get nasty according to him. i don't know all the jargon, but basically he described them doing things that required massive layovers and tons of paper work, then dropping that part of a case last second and filing another or something like that. He said they have to participate and treat it as real b/c if they say "aw they're just screwing with us, then they'll follow through and you'll be left with nothing to defend.

Like I said, that’s an awful paraphrase but you get the point.

I know right? This seems to be important though b/c the State seems to be putting up a lengthy argument. They've been up there a while.

 

[zbaw]

Yep, longer than usual.

Must be something in those medical records that could be damning from his past....

You want a tin foil conspiracy theory?

A very high profile case, covered extensively all over the country, being watched my many. So prosecution (who had no reason to try GZ in the first place), shows the masses day after day how badly the case against GZ really is, and allows it to unfold slowly as for it not to be a shock when acquittal comes.

The problem with what you portend is people of little education, illiterate, dumb, vapid, clueless, ignorant, and all the other qualities that make up potential rioters, can't accept the truth even if they are hit in the face with it.

Well ok then....

Maybe they are just having a hard time deciding where they are all going to go and get drinks after they get off tonight.

Discussion at the bench....."Hey guys, let's discuss this until 5:00, then go get drinks. That way we can all rack up charges for one more day...."

There is no case!

Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz said the exact same thing when the original affidavit was released. I can't link it right now but I think he was on Hardball explaining exactly this.

And they mean it! Not because they are tough! Not because the believe justice was not served! BEACUSE THEY ARE F'N STUPID!

If cities allow a single incident of riotous violence to go unanswered, it will be a damn shame; AGAIN!

Especially when CNN keeps labeling some of the things these witnesses are saying as "small victories" for the prosecution.
