I am waiting for the Martin was an angel card to be played. I am also waiting for a picture

picuture portraying Martin as a pre-teen is dishonest.

Most likely It will be Al who plays that card. The parents know he was
no angel and I doubt they will say he is/was.

Martin's mother, with some help from Sharpton and a professional
publicist, stage managed all of that post shooting news coverage.

Really? You don't think that a mother of a kid would feel pain, remorse
and anger over the shooting death of her kid???


It
was no accident that the media was showing pictures of a happy go
lucky little kid. That's what was in their press kit.

Cite?

My opinion about the Zimmerman case matters no more than yours, Tim. I

their son.

It is up to the jury to decide if he was murdered or not. My guess
is not.


It's Florida, where it is perfectly ok to stalk someone physically,
force a confrontation, and when you are called out on it, shoot the
person you confronted.

That's the version thay you and some of the mass media seem to prefer,
but I haven't heard any trial testimony to that effect. You and Al
Sharpton can go start riots together after the verdict is rendered.

Harry's description sounds like your standard strong arm robbery.

Yes, it does.

I just heard something I had not heard before regarding the police
interrogation of George Zimmerman.

According to Lisa Bloom, an attorney who was just on Chris Matthew's
show, one of the police interrogations included a "bluff" directed to
Zimmerman.
He was told that they located a video of the entire altercation
between him and Martin, presumably from a security camera within the
gated community.

According to Bloom, Zimmerman's reaction was "elation" and he thanked
God there was a video record of the event.

Lisa Bloom, btw, is of the opinion that Zimmerman is guilty of 2nd
degree murder. However, she acknowledged that "if" the events
happened as described by Zimmerman and he was having his head beaten
on the concrete sidewalk, then yes, she would agree that an acquittal
based on self defense would be appropriate.

But the question remains. If this "bluff" was made and Zimmerman
indeed reacted as he did ..... why?

Lisa Bloom says it either means he is telling the truth or is a great
actor.

Good acting. Don't forget, that "head being beaten into the concrete
sidewalk" is in reality, he had a minor scrap and boo-boo that they put
a band-aid on as insurance.

With that piece of informaiton Zimmerman should never have been charged.

it's not "information" it's hear-say.

In all fairness, if the cops had *really* been doing their job they
would have realized that they had a very sensitive situation to deal
with and done a much more thorough investigation before making any
recomendations to prosecute or not.

You got that right. Unfortunately this quickly went beyond the basic
interpretation of the existing laws.
We can than people like "Rev Al" and others for that.

I am hooked on watching the Zimmerman trial. I have it streaming on
my computer, so it isn't interrupted by TV commercials and am also
monitoring the video on the left leaning MSNBC which occasionally
breaks for commercials and the viewer misses much of the testimony by
witnesses.

The State called a doctor who is the chief medical examiner for the
area that the Zimmerman event took place. She examined the photos of
his head injuries, along with the report of the PA at the medical
clinic who treated him. She testified that Zimmerman's injuries were
"very minor" (repeating it at every opportunity) and, in her
opinion, resulted from one blow to the nose and one, maybe two head
bangings on the concrete walkway. This conflicts with Zimmerman's
account of the incident.

She went out of her way to minimize the injuries and insisted they
were the result of minimal blows with not much force.

During this lengthy direct examination by the State, MSNBC didn't
interrupt a single time for a commercial.

Then came the cross examination by the defense. The defense attorney
started picking her testimony apart questioning why she was so sure
the injuries were from so few blows. She became hostile occasionally
and the attorney made good use of her frustration with him. She
finally had to admit that it was indeed "possible" that Zimmerman had
been hit not just once or twice, but multiple times. She did so with
a hostile attitude.

MSNBC had at least two lengthy station breaks during this cross
examination. The viewers missed a good portion of the cross
examination. Could that just be coincidence?

So now the court is in a 15 minute break. The MSNBC crew are all
excitedly discussing this "conflicting expert testimony" and about
how the doc said Zimmerman only got hit a couple of times.

You gotta be kidding me.




I listened to some of the trial on Sirius CNN while traveling to Florida. Whenever the prosecution
'seemed' to score a point, the entire CNN crew would be creaming their pants. Unreal.
