Actually, I'm starting to think more and more that justice may actually get served. The STATE'S case seems to not only not rule out self defense...but support it. If he is acquitted, Justice will have been served. Except for the fact that he should never have been charged.

It seems to me that one's feelings about this case fall more in line with your feelings on guns/gun control than anything else. Based on the evidence produced so far, whatever you think of Zimmerman personally, he can not be convicted of murder (or anything else, for that matter). Unless there's som...

Sure is interesting to reread this thread from the beginning.

[quote=DocZaius]Yeah I don't understand calling Good at all. From my memory his story has always supported the self-defense theory. Maybe the prosecution is trying to put on the crappiest case possible. That way Zimmerman walks but they can tell the victim's family that they threw everything at it.[...

Today starts with yet ANOTHER state witness that helps the defense (John Good)

[quote=DocZaius]Well, I don't see where there's any evidence that Zimmerman did anything other than talk to Martin before Martin attacked him. That's really where the State's evidence falls short.[/QUOTE] I agree with you. My post there was more for hypothetical purposes. I'm assuming the State has ...

any emphasis was added by me.

My biggest factual question with this whole case revolves around the following scenario... IF Zimmerman was the primary aggressor (grabbed Martin, shoved him, or in any other way assailed him other than being a concerned watchful citizen), then Martin would be completely justified in standing HIS gr...

[quote=DocZaius]I hope Angela Corey paid Bernie De La Rionda and John Guy a fat bonus for taking this stinker of a case. The main prosecution witnesses have all pretty much collapsed under cross. I think the only thing that can save the State's case now is to attack Zimmerman's credibility - probabl...

on top of making her story to law enforcement appear coerced, now the defense is drilling her about her phone calls and the timeline. Doing a pretty good job, too. Got her to admit the phone cutting off could have been from a bad signal (like many other disconnects they had during that conversation)...

The Defense on the cross of this "star" witness has done a remarkable job of making it appear that words were put into her mouth by the family and Ben Crump (notorious pot stirrer). To me it is unfathomable that the State would interview this person for the first time in the victim's mothe...

My biggest concern with this case is that I don't think there is anyway for EITHER side to get a fair trial in Seminole County. They needed a change of venue. The other part that scares me, is that no matter the verdict, the question will still remain "was Justice served?" If he is acquitt...

That was a pretty solid analysis.

I have been trying my hardest to follow it. Work tends to get in the way of that from time to time. However, thus far I haven't heard anything that disputes Zimmerman's claim of self defense. And if "witness #8" was the "star" witness*, then the State needs to be rethinking this ...

[quote=DocZaius]Going back through the scoring, IHate gets another 25 points - Chris Dorner's autopsy shows that the cause of death was a single gunshot.[/QUOTE]

Hell yeah!

[quote=DocZaius]There's all kinds of property insurance scams down here, too. People intentionally drop heavy things on their kitchen tile so they can get a whole new floor, for example. Public adjusters tend to inflate their estimates because they get paid by contingency (or at least they did a cou...

I have no problem with this whatsoever. The vast majority of my classes in the business college were offered online (as well as the option to attend the live lecture).

Well - there's something nobody saw coming.

[quote=DocZaius]Rock, so as an "industry insider," do you have any insight as to why it's so hard to get decent insurance here?[/QUOTE]

Because, like pawn shops, they are organized thieves.

If I could edit my list I would add Oscar Pistorius - cause: Pongo Pongo.

I'm surprised one asshole didn't walk into the exam unannounced answer one question correctly and leave. He gets the A and the rest of them Cs?
