Zimmerman Trial

[rockytop9808]

Yes she will. She will instruct them on what reasonable doubt means. That's standard.

This judge has gone way off the rails, so we'll she if she actually does.

 

[SamRebel35]

She isn't screwing over anyone. The jury decides GZ's fate, not the judge. The jury will decide if they think manslaughter is appropriate. Are they not the the ultimate rulers of GZ's guilt or innocence?

They are the deciders, but they make their decisions based on the legal instructions that the judge allows. She didn't allow the instruction that following somebody isn't illegal. Clearly trying to skew the decision of the jury towards the notion that following may be illegal thus Zimmerman was deserving of being attacked.

The jury is instructed to only use evidence provided to convict.

Yes, and the judge has been blocking evidence damaging to the state's case whenever the defense tries to bring it out.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

How is she not screwing him over?

The jury's been sequestered. They're only getting the information the judge is letting through. She's intentionally blocking relevant evidence that is damaging to the state's case. Have you been paying attention at all?

Regardless, both you and I and anyone who has been paying attention (Yes, I've been paying close attention) knows that the prosecution has presented a weak weak case and their own witnesses helped the defense more than they helped them. 2nd Murder and manslaughter have not and will not be proven as a worthy charge and hopefully the jury sees that as well.

So you would just say teens?

In age? Yes, a 17 yeard old is in his teens. But 'teens of' is grammatically incorrect, so it does not relate to your point about 100s of feet.

Let me get this straight, you're telling me that unless the judge specifically advised this jury that following someone is not illegal that said jury of 6 believe that simply following someone for any reason is against the law?

Based on what the prosecution has been allowed to present? Yes.

 

[UTVOLKeith]

The defense has no right to defend against any I dividual statute relating to the case ...

Think of it as a "grand jury" in Tennessee.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Based on what the prosecution has been allowed to present? Yes.

Seriously. Think about that.

These 6 jurors are so obtuse that you're telling me that they may think that simply following someone could get them arrested and throw in jail?

at least 1 poster in this thread said the following of TM constituted assault. It's not impossible

Uh, you'd be surprised by how stupid some people are. As far as I know they don't screen for legal knowledge and IQ when selecting a jury. You have to assume that the jury knows absolutely nothing coming in.

The state of Florida voted for Obama! What do you think?

Scary. I'm guessing they don't really believe that.

Yes........remember, these people are those who were not smart enough to figure a way out of jury duty

 

[Obsessed]

I'm still in shock over only 6 jurors. The mans life is at stake. I'd want all 12

BREAKING: Prosecution moves to add charge of "felony following" and "misdemeanor truck-leaving" #ZimmermanTrial

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Unfortunately, not really.

But does it fit with my style?... u know of communication that is?

At least both sides get to select from a pool although in Florida with this judge who knows.

And supposedly have heard nothing about the case.

In that you sound like an idiot, it fits perfectly with your style.

Don West can't even show which statute has the instruction of it not being against the law to follow someone. Smh idiot. #ZimmermanTrial
