Zimmerman Trial

[Vol Main]

I thought it odd that there was so little evidence introduced about the background of either the defendant or the deceased. Because the defense argued self defense, I really thought it had the right to explore both the motive and the means of Trayvon Martin to commit the assault. There definitely was evidence which the judge did not allow. Also, there was very little testimony about Zimmerman's character, which went to both motive and state of mind. It was obvious from news reports that the defense could have produced a lot of positive testimony.

Apparently. They have firearm enhancements in their sentencing statutes. So it's something like max of 15 for manslaughter, but if a firearm is used it's max of 30 and minimum of 25 (according to wikipedia, not sure how accurate it is).

Max 30 min 10

My guess is that the jury is split at the moment. I'm not convinced that conviction is likely. I think one or two jurors are holding out and a hung jury is the absolute worst case scenario. And even then, the judge should make them hammer away for a while, and the lone holdout(s) for conviction will likely cave.

The thing about the jury not working through it today, just makes it seems like they are more in the camp of finding him guilty of something

I disagree. If they thought they were near consensus, they would have kept at it. Turning in early indicates disagreement.

sadly the government wastes money on everything, but jury members. they are treated like second class citizens. Trust me these jury members would rather be home.

Well if this is indeed the case I'm hanging on for a hung jury. Not only for him but for the rest of the citizens in the state of Florida

If its a hung jury, I doubt they retry him.

Nope. Because the evidence they have is just that. And its not much but jurys sometimes make me wonder if they were paying attention.

That's what I suspect as well. They had no business taking this one to trial as it is. No way they want to make even bigger asses of themselves.

Maybe the jury just decided to do due diligence in going over the evidence. Maybe they decided to "sleep on it" before sending in their verdict. Who knows?

 

[Obsessed]

They resume at 9 this morning correct?

 

[FLVOL69]

Correct ...9 am
